Brad Marchand's exceptional hockey skills are undisputed, as he has consistently distinguished himself from other players in the league by playing with a chip on his shoulder. However, his competitive nature sometimes causes him to overstep boundaries, as has happened multiple times over the course of his career. This was evident once again during a recent game against the Seattle Kraken when, with the score tied at 4 in the third period, Marchand made a questionable decision that could have cost his team the game.

During a post-whistle altercation, Marchand and Oliver Bjorkstrand engaged in a verbal exchange, which ended with Marchand using a slick leg movement to trip Bjorkstrand, known as a "slewfoot." Bjorkstrand retaliated by grabbing Marchand's leg and trying to bring him down. Both players were penalized for cross-checking, and Bjorkstrand complained to the referee about the slewfoot, but to no avail.

Marchand has a history of crossing the line and was recently critical of NHL Player Safety, so it remains to be seen whether he will face additional penalties for this incident.
