Brad Marchand is a great hockey player. He has a big heart too. His gutless diving, however, has to stop.
In the third period of the Capitals’ 3-2 overtime win over Boston on Saturday, Marchand dropped to the ice like a piano falling off the top story of the Empire State Building after Alex Ovechkin gave him a friendly slash in the ribs.
Is the covering of his face and getting in the fetal position really necessary?
Fortunately for us, Ovechkin had a chance to discuss the play face-to-face with Marchand in a heated scrum after the whistle.
Yeah, that’s not even fair.
