Don’t get it twisted: Brad Marchand is still a pest. But since his golden goal at the World Cup, he's exploded for at least 85 points in each of those four seasons, reaching 100 in 2018-19 and he was on pace for 102 in 2019-20. (Via lukefoxjukebox)
“He’s got to play on the edge, and he’s a guy that nobody wants to play against but you want to have on your team,” Crosby said at the time.
“The whole thing has been a bit of a whirlwind,” Marchand said that September. “When you come into a tournament like this, you’re just trying to take everything in. It’s the biggest stage in the world right now, and to be a part of it is an incredible honour.With the benefit of four years’ worth of hindsight, it’s incredible how that ’16 World Cup accelerated Marchand’s individual performance .
He’s finished among the top 11 in Hart votes and 16 in Selke votes every season since. He’s been named to both an NHL First and Second All-Star Team. He’s averaged a minimum of 19:26 ice time in all four seasons, seen more defensive-zone starts than ever and is still driving possession.
