Brad Marchand Just Nearly Escapes Scary Skate Blade Accident
In last night's game between the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brad Marchand narrowly avoided a potentially dangerous skate blade incident that could have ended badly.
This season, there's been a heightened concern about skate blade injuries, and thankfully, the NHL dodged a bullet last night. During the game, Marchand and Michael Bunting tangled on the ice, resulting in Marchand tripping Bunting and his skate flying dangerously close.
While some speculate about Bunting's intentions, it's a serious accusation without concrete evidence, especially when the video footage doesn't provide clear insight.
Despite the close call, the Bruins emerged victorious with a 6-4 win over the Penguins, with Marchand even scoring a crucial shorthanded goal.
Thankfully, both players walked away unscathed from the incident. However, it serves as a reminder of the importance of player safety, prompting a renewed discussion about the use of neck guards, which the NHL should seriously consider implementing in the offseason.
