O'Brien chirps Marchand who ignores him on the bench
After the whistle blew, Brad Marchand, being Brad Marchand, chose to wrestle Clayton Keller to the ground and engage in a brawl. The two were observed chirping back and forth in the penalty box after receiving identical penalties.
A player who will defend his teammates with a big blow or a brawl is Liam O'Brien. He made it clear to Marchand that he was not happy with him, as was caught on the microphone.
O'Brien was obviously unhappy. Furthermore, it's obvious that Marchand had no intention of hurting O'Brien. But it's a fairly decent way to get under his skin to give him the cold shoulder.
How the game ended in the desert between the Bruins and Coyotes
With an assist on Pastrnak's goal in the first period, Marchand earned his 900th career point in the NHL. The game would go into overtime, tying 3-3. This was Boston's second back-to-back overtime, and Schmaltz's game-winning goal would give the Coyotes the victory in the end.
