One of the few Marchand (for his antics) comparables. Avery was certainly a low-life but his hockey skills were not in the same league. Wouldn't be surprised if the Bruins trade Marchand - Philly likes douchebag players. Funny how he's on a line with Bergeron - one of the classiest players in the NHL.

Thanks to all who replied.

WOW!

I didn't even realize there was a rule to prevent this because I was unaware of this in the first place

That is genius

Agreed.. Avery, while an ass-hat, was really good at pissing people off..

I would rather have Sean Avery on my team, than Brad Marchand.

Marchand is gonna turn a proud, respectable franchise into a joke.

Marchand has too much talent to trade him.

The team will sit down with him and tell him to cut that poop out.

honestly I thought a lineup with Tavares, Kovalchuk, Thornton, Karlsson and Seth Jones would tip you of as not serious...
- MaximusAurelius

Yes, because your James Tannerific stat of Nylander being, objectively speaking, 3 times better than Pastrnak doesn't gift me the ability to discern your level of seriousness...

Chara and the team has spoken to him about it before.. What makes you think he will stop now?

I never said Nylander is better than Pastrnak.

Marner >> Pastrnak..

Oh, I'm sorry...this really clears things up.

Not so sure. The way DeBrusk played, he could replace Marchand on the top line and Bruins could probably get two good players and picks for the Douche.

Marchand is not an easy player to acquire.

He's the most hated guy in the league, announcing to your team you just gave up significant assets to get this guy on board is not an easy sell in a lockeroom imo.

Well let's just clarify that he objectively tried to say that Marner was 3 times better than Pastrnak so I'm still going to go with a no...

DeBrusk definitely looks like a keeper; Play him with Bergeron and Pastrnak.. The Bruins should put Marchand on waivers.. I can't frkin stand that guy.

Chara and the team has spoken to him about it before.. What makes you think he will stop now?
- PatC80

He won't.

But the Bruins will keep trying to make him cut that poop out.

They won't trade him.

figure of speech.

After the Leafs trade him for Tanev.

IIRC, the dressing room turned against Avery - basically 22 guys told management to get him the frank outta there.

Marner spent a lot of time on the 4th line this season for some reason... If we want to be sure, it would be best if the Bruins trade Pastrnak to the Leafs and then we can see who performs better; Marner or Pastrnak. This will be a more accurate assessment;

Also, please give us Pastrnak.

Ok pal

I guess you adhere to the 12 year old "I was just kidding", "Figure of speech", or "I wasn't being serious" level of excuses.

And right now, no, no he is not.

I will veto the Bruins giving us Pastrnak until I get universal agreement that the lame-assed nickname "Pasta" does not come with him.

I do think there is a chance and maybe even a good one that he does become a better player, but as of now he isn't.

Playing with Bergeron and Marchand has also done his 200ft game wonders. I don't know if Marner will develop that aspect of his game quite like I have seen of Pastrnak. I'm not saying he's a selke candidate, just gauging his growth in that aspect of the game from when he started to where he is now. We'll see though.

He's the Pastafarian. We Boston peeps have to keep this racist crown on lock.

Have you ever been to a game in the Wells Fargo Centre? (or before it was torn down the Spectrum) Fans are mental! Marchand would be a deity.

I don't know if you saw it yesterday, but in the Bruins thread a guy from Providence called the city of Vancouver a rat-infested poop hole.

I had a good laugh about that one.

maybe he secretly wants to be Italian?

maybe he wants to be known as the Pasta man, because, let's be honest... Who doesn't like pasta?
