Tensions Rise Between Division Rivals As Marchand And Reaves Exchange Shots
The anticipated face-off between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins is drawing significant attention, not just for the game itself, but for the ongoing verbal sparring between Ryan Reaves of the Leafs and Brad Marchand of the Bruins.
Reaves vs. Marchand: A Heated Rivalry
Ryan Reaves and Brad Marchand, both renowned in the NHL for their sharp wit and physical style of play, have been engaging in a bit of media back-and-forth recently. Reaves, known for his tough persona, brought up a previous comment from Marchand about the disparity in their salaries.
Ryan Reaves on Brad Marchand: "He likes telling me he makes a lot more than I do."
Marchand: "I think I said that once a long time ago. Sounds like he's holding on to it."
Marchand: "I think I said that once a long time ago. Sounds like he's holding on to it."
"Ryan Reaves on Marchand, says he must be wary of the Boston captain «baiting» him and other Leafs into penalties. Says during their chirps that Marchand like to remind him he makes a lot more money. «That's okay, lots of people do,» laughed Reaves."
Leafs vs. Bruins: A High-Stakes Encounter
The upcoming game at Scotiabank Arena takes on extra significance as both the Leafs and Bruins are leading contenders in the Atlantic Division. The Leafs are expected to start Joseph Woll in goal, facing off against Linus Ullmark, the current Vezina Trophy holder, from the Bruins.
With Marchand's role in Timothy Liljegren injury, everything indicates that the intensity will rise to a new level tonight.
However, Keefe was quick to defuse the situation:
"Keefe on how the Leafs had a measured response post-Liljegren, playing tougher: "I know everybody here watches just us for the most part. But turn on the TV and there's a lot of teams who don't blow up and sell the farm every time someone gets hit. You have to play hockey, too."
