Maple Leafs Star Takes Massive Shot At Marchand Just Moments Before Tonight's Game
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins are gearing up for their first clash of the 2023-24 season, and it's no secret that this historic rivalry is always packed with emotions and intensity.
In the previous season,
Tyler Bertuzzi and
Brad Marchand were teammates, but Bertuzzi's move to the Leafs as a free agent has certainly stoked the flames of competition. Bertuzzi didn't hold back in expressing his thoughts on his former teammate, saying,
"I know he's full of sh*t out there."
Marchand is renowned for his ability to get under opponents' skin, but it's clear that Bertuzzi, who has had an up-close view of Marchand's antics, isn't buying into it.
Both the Bruins and the Leafs have enjoyed strong starts to the current season, with Boston posting an impressive 8-0-1 record and Toronto sitting at 5-3-1. With the possibility of a playoff showdown on the horizon, comments like these only add fuel to the already fiery rivalry.
While Bertuzzi may question Marchand's tactics, the Bruins' new captain has kicked off 2023 with a point per game through the first nine matches. This dynamic adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming battle between the two teams on Thursday night. It's a clash within the larger war, and fans can expect an electric showdown.
