Here’s my best piece of advice for you if you’re thinking of chirping Brad Marchand.
Don’t.
Just don’t.
.....
But one thing you absolutely have to know is that you will not outchirp Marshy. You just won’t. The guy always gets the final word.
As soon as a guy on the other team messes up, Marshy will be right there to skate by him and say, “That’s the best play you’ll make all night. Keep going.” That’s if he’s in a good mood and going easy on the guy.
If there’s a young kid on the other team, he’ll skate up to them between whistles and say, “Hey buddy, glad you could make it. Just try to soak it all in. Enjoy it. This is your last game before you’re sent down.”
Of course there are many, many other truly hilarious things I’ve heard him say over the years, but none of them are really close to being appropriate for publication.
Wait … let me think about it … nope, none.
I’ll just put it this way, if you ever have seats along the glass during one of our games, listen closely for a show and prepare to put earmuffs on the kiddos.
