Brad Marchand Takes a Swing at Connor Bedard in Recent Interview

Before the game yesterday, Brad Marchand was asked if he had any advice for Connor Bedard's upcoming year, or if he had any plans to say anything to the rookie, given they are both on the smaller side for the NHL. Marchand's response was typical for him.

The two are pretty much the same size, though the tale of the tape has Bedard edging out Marchand in height (by 1 inch) and weight (by 9 pounds).

While Bedard's true welcome to the NHL moment was a wholesome faceoff between himself and the legendary Sidney Crosby, he got a warm welcome last night via Marchand treating him to his typical antics. During the game, Marchand tried to get under his skin by dragging him over to the Bruin's bench, nearly hooking him inside.

Bedard did end up scoring his first NHL goal against Marchand and the Bruins, however, they got the last laugh as they came out victorious in a 3-1 final.
