Well, I know some Hurricanes fans that will certainly not be a fan of this news.
We all know Brad Marchand : he's perceived like a pest all around the NHL. But one thing for sure : pretty much everybody would take him in their team. He can do it all and that's why he is such a special player.
However, there's one big problem : often, he's going way too far in his action, what's already got him in big trouble. And to be honest, all the times he got suspended, he deserved it.
But this time, he dodged a bullet. After assessing a two handed slash to Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov, the NHL fined him $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA.
