Rat Marchand. What a legend 🔥 🐀
I agree! Brad could use a muzzle! Canada 😅😮
I wonder what Cam Neely is thinking about 😂
Imagine winning Game 2 in of the Stanley Cup Finals in DOUBLE OVERTIME, then having to go and talk to the media right after?! 🫠😂
Marchand’s winner was an all time Bruins greasy greasiest goal at its Best! GO BRUINS!
Bennett for Conn Smythe !! Just three more wins and a few more goals and it's his.
Bennett is a genius. Bennett knows how to knock out goalies who threaten the success of his team.
Спасибо ребята🎉
