While speaking to reporters on Friday, Marchand responded to Atkinson.
""Brad Marchand said Cam Atkinson "must have been trying to dull his skate blades" and send him back to the room for skate repairs when his stick blade got caught underneath Marchand's skate and broke in the third period. That's his story and he's sticking to it"" Tweeted Joe Haggerty.
In a good mood, Marchand also decided to take a little shot at former teammate Riley Nash when talking about Columbus' physical play during Game 1.
"I don't think he had a hit in two years with us."
