Bruins’ Brad Marchand has morphed into big-time star, Tampa a team on the rise
Perhaps we should have seen this coming with Brad Marchand.
The 28-year-old was among the brightest of stars at the World Cup of Hockey last fall, scoring five times in six games, including the tournament-clincher for Team Canada in the final against Europe.
Only Sidney Crosby finished with more points.
Afterward head coach Mike Babcock said Marchand was still a “pest” at heart, but added: “He keeps playing good, and if they keep the Olympics alive (in 2018), he’ll have a chance there.”
