Compared to last year, Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand has been a complete saint so far during this year's playoffs.
As a matter of fact before Game 2, Marchand hadn't been called for a penalty.Bruins' head coach Bruce Cassidy isn't happy about it and feels Marchand was targeted.
"Marchy had no penalty minutes in the playoffs. None, until last night, zero," he said, per WEEI.com's Matt Kalman. "Leading scorer on our team. All of a sudden I've got NHL (news), like ‘keep an eye out.' I'm kind of like, ‘What are you talking about? Why are you going down this road on a guy that's kept his nose clean?'"
Columbus scored on the power play which made the penalty call even harder to swallow.
"So I have a bit of a problem with the treatment of Marchy with certain officials," he said.
"And I think he's earned some of his, obviously, his reputation. But not right now. He's been clean all year, he's been clean all playoffs. So I hoped that would go away and the talk would be about ‘hey he hasn't scored in two games, what can we do to get him going there?' "
