Brad Marchand is on an absolute rampage against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he has been a difference maker in their first round series.
Tonight, however, he took his antics too far, getting involved in a scrum after a trip from Pontus Holmberg, and then getting into a verbal argument with referees. In response, a referee body slammed him to the ground, sparking massive reactions.
