A shocking statement involving the Boston Bruins' decision to depart with their beloved Brad Marchand has just surfaced the media, as a Bruins commentator has finally broke his silence.
Boston Bruins' fans were hit with some unbearable news in March, during the NHL Trade Deadline last campaign, as the organization's front office, and general manager, Don Sweeney, did the unthinkable.
They confirmed a trade had been completed, which saw their 16-year veteran and captain, Brad Marchand, traded to the Florida Panthers.
This trade caught majority of Bruins fans by surprise, as they were hopeful that this loyal talent would complete his NHL career where he started it, in Boston, however, things changed within a blink of an eye.
To make matters worse, the Boston Bruins didn't only have to grieve the departure of their longtime veteran, but they also had to come to terms with the fact this trade might have been a mistake.
It ultimately seemed as though the Boston Bruins lost their spark following Marchand's departure, as the organization quickly dropped into the NHL basement, where they completed their 2024/25 NHL season out of postseason contention.
Meanwhile, Marchand made airwaves in the playoffs with the Florida Panthers, where he recorded insane numbers, 10 goals, 10 assists, totalling at a whopping 20 points within just 23 games endured.
His numbers undoubtedly played a massive roll in his new organization achieving their second Stanley Cup in a row.
With all being said, and despite Boston's front office's decisions, Marchand's drive and passion for the game of hockey was never left unnoticed by Bruins fans.
And a recent statement has revealed that others recognized it as well.
