Bruce Cassidy Laughs Off Report About NHL Asking Marchand To Stop Licking.

"I bought him some Mentos and told him to have at it, so what the heck? It's a good storyline," Cassidy said with a chuckle. "They have Marshy's hotline. I'm sure if they want to give him a message, they can give him one." 

"I don't know. You got me there. I really don't know," Cassidy said. "You know Marshy's always got something up his sleeve, so I'm sure he'll have a good comeback for this if the league has reached out to him. But hopefully he doesn't get himself in any trouble. I told you this before, if this is the worst he does, we're all happy here, right? "

"I thought it was funny," he added. "It gave the league some publicity, so I'm not sure what they're all worked up about. The other guy didn't seem to be that worked up about it, their player."
