Brad Marchand
The Halifax native Brad Marchand clinched a 3-2 win for Boston Bruins over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre
The Bruins fell behind 2-1 in the second period when Marchand turned the puck over and let Joel Armia score a short-handed go-ahead goal on a breakaway.
After the game, the winger said he was “happy not to lose just because of the turnover.”
“I was just really happy that we didn’t lose because of that turnover,” Marchand said. “I kind of owe the group there and it felt good to be able to bounce back and produce in that situation after making such a bad play.”
He added: “It’s embarrassing when you make plays like that you feel like you let the whole group down and it’s tough to be on that side of it so to be able to bounce back from it, it was nice.”
“Knew it was going to come back”
Brad went on to mention that he didn’t like Juke Allen‘s reaction after robbing him of a power-play goal at the very end of the second period.
“I kind of knew it was going to come back just because of the way he kind of showboated on the save at the end of the second,” Marchand said. “I had to add a little extra on that one because that save so luckily we won.”
Lastly, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy reckoned that his team reminds newer players about what it means to both clubs in a Bruins-Canadiens clash.
“These are games that our fanbase gets jacked up about so it deserves a little more than playing another team,” Cassidy said. “So let’s make sure that we’re focused, on time and ready.”
