During a recent ceremony honoring the Lunch Pail Athletic Club era of the Bruins franchise (1977-1985) who are recognized as one of the toughest groups in NHL history, Marchand was questioned about how he would have fared in that era. Marchand was quick to admit the he lacks the required toughness for that. However, he humorously expressed one aspect he might have enjoyed.
There are no doubt countless NHL fans who would love, or at least think they would love, to get their hands on Brad Marchand but it sounds like the Bruins agitator would be more than prepared to return the favor.
