Cam Neely Reveals That Marchand Was Told The Antics During Playoffs Were Negative.

"I saw humor in it [at first], and then I thought it was, as it went along, it got pretty silly and not productive towards the team," said Jacobs. "This is a player [in Marchand] that, I can only think of 30 other teams that would love to have him, so there's a margin that you give him. But I think he used up that margin." 

"Brad should be contrite. He was spoken to." Neely said. "I don't want to go into the details, but he understands how he put a negative focus on him, his family, the organization, his teammates, and the coaching staff. The thing that people don't understand [is that] Brad is a really good guy. If you don't know him, and you see this other stuff, then you really don't think highly of him. He's a tremendous hockey player. He's got to the point now where his game on the ice, without the antics, should speak for itself."
