Brad Marchand Skates in 1,000th Game

Brad Marchand Skates in 1,000th Game

Mr 1000 special moment with family on the bench and I love this this is one of the toughest nastiest biggest pains in the NHL and he is tearing up and showing his emotion what a moment last night I mean Bradley Marsha the pest I mean it’s just you got to Relish in

Those moments you don’t know how many games you have like that where you’re hearing the crowd chant at home especially in the garden that’s just it’s such an amazing iconic place so to be there for him I’m sure was so special have his family there and again he he

Said I love his Cod he said I’m not done I’m far from done but you got to Relish in those those moments those those iconic times in your career where you’re GNA sit back and really take stock in what you’ve done so far and I mean he’s

He’s got so much to be proud of as a player I played with him we started together in monton when I was we were 16 in the monton wild cats and uh he’s one of those guys I mean I saw just his work ethic back then and it’s it’s a

Credit to him and and the cry’s put put forward so far yeah no question he’s one of those players uh where none of this was predetermined for him or predestined if you will it’s all work yeah it’s all work he came in the league he was on

Penalty kill only he hardly played at five on five when he played at five on five it was just sheltered minutes uh fourth line chip it in chip it out get off and he’s worked himself into becoming a star yeah to his credit he relishes the role of being a shift

Disturber and he does that and he does that in a way where he’s become uh highly productive offensively as well and look some of this my boy call it it hasn’t come without some of the some of the silliness as he knows but he’s for the

Most part he’s grown out of that and found a way to still color inside the line and have a huge impact and look I’ll say this I said it last night right here in the studio whenever there’s International competition oh him and Patrice berson are the two players C

Crosby picks to be on his line yeah now Berg’s retired but that means Brad marshan will be playing with Sid again yeah going forward internationally and they skate together at times in the off season that is the ultimate credibility step Nate dog with him who I was going

To say who you think be him Nate dog the dog that’ll be the that’s that’s for teaser just a little taste of what we can expect from te you said it great like stepping into that role and evolving from that Pest and I mean that

That cup run when they won yes I mean he was so good in that finals you know isolating the sadin the kers just taking him out he was such a little shift disturber to your credit I got to give you credit on that one but now berson’s

Left and he stepped up into that captaincy role and I thought he’s he’s done an amazing job he’s showing that he’s that leader he can be that guy and not rely on Patty he’s learned so much from Patty I’m sure and implementing it I mean look where they’re on the

Sandings everybody nobody had them where they are right now true none of us we’re all like ah they’re going to they’re definitely taking a step back and they trudge on forward he’s earned every one of those 10,000 games y he’s earned every one of those games there aren’t a

Lot of people that went to bat for him there aren’t a lot of people that were promoting him he didn’t see his name on the side of the building or inside the building on the Billboards and that stuff he’s literally done this from scratch that’s hard and for a lot of

Young players out there that’s that’s a real good uh Learning lesson from somebody like Brad marshan what he’s been able to accomplish has been a lot of real bluecollar stuff yeah and you go back right didn’t you uh round ji with him yeah Mont and Wildcats started yeah mon Wildcats you’ve known

Him a while that’s know him and then played against him in some playoffs and Junior after I got traded the next year and then it was like you know just always see him and watching him from afar and you know it’s obviously cordial hey how are you how’s everything but so

Competitive every time you play him and and so hard to play against you want to kill him every shift and and but you just when you’re not playing and you see him you root for him and you just root for the kind of guy that he has off the

Ice and as well as the way he plays on the ice I mean who wouldn’t want this guy on their team yeah no doubt
