Cassidy Defends Marchand's Beatdown Of Eller.
The Boston Bruins started off the season on a very disappointing note as they took a big loss at the hands of the Washington Capitals 7-0.�
After the seventh goal, Capitals forward Lars Eller got a little cocky and celebrated in front of the Bruins bench which Brad Marchand took exception to.�
The next time the two players were on the ice, Marchand went right after Eller and pummelled him until he was dripping with blood and laying on the ice.�
After the game Marchand explained Eller's actions were absolutely unacceptable.�
"His celebration was unnecessary. He took an angle in front of our bench and celebrated in a 7-0 game. So I just let him know."
Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy defended his forward after the game as well.�
"That's good. He's a proud guy. I think Eller celebrated a little on a 7-0 goal. I think that's his prerogative and Marchy let him know that that's not acceptable. That's that and we move on."
