The Boston Bruins faced off against the St. Louis Blues today in St. Louis. As part of the broadcast, Marchand was used in a transition clip in which the Bruins captain appeared to be embarrassed to share a small detail about his childhood.
The Halifax native would not have had many other options that would make sense for him to be his favorite team as a kid. Halifax does not have an NHL team so most fans in the Eastern seaboard root for either the Leafs or the Canadiens. This did not stop fans from poking fun at Marchand online though.
Marchand will likely have to relive this moment over and over as his teammates will be sure to give him a hard time for it. Perhaps Marchand will take some solace in the fact that the Bruins were able to secure the victory over St. Louis, and he even secured his 900th career NHL point in the process.
