‘Part of playoffs is trying to hurt every player on the other team,’ Brad Marchand says
Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand wasn’t too outraged over the disputed hit he took that’s sidelined him for the past two games. Because in his view, hurting players comes with the territory in the postseason.
Asked if he thought it was a cheap shot, Marchand said, “I think he got away with one but, I mean, that’s part of the game and definitely part of playoff hockey. “It was great,” MacKinnon succinctly said of playing from ahead as the Avalanche drew to within 3-2 in the series. “It was do-or-die and we just couldn’t lay an egg again.”
The win by Colorado guaranteed that all four second-round series will go a minimum of six games. That sort of balance in round No. 2 has only occurred five other times in NHL history, according to league research. The more recent time was in 2017. “You’re playing desperate hockey now,” said Makar, who had two goals Wednesday. “Everyone’s got to play on the edge.”
