Sheldon Keefe criticizes Brad Marchand's antics during post game press
Brad Marchand was once again the center of attention after the Boston Bruins clinched a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, taking a 2-1 series lead.
Known for stirring controversy on the ice, Marchand scored a decisive empty-net goal, but it was his involvement in a contentious play with Leafs' forward Tyler Bertuzzi that caught everyone's attention.
Sheldon Keefe on Marchand: "He gets calls. It's unbelievable, actually, how it goes. You've got to play through that stuff. I don't think there's another player in this series who gets away with taking out Bertuzzi's legs the way that he does. It's an art and he's elite at it."
After the game, Leafs' head coach Sheldon Keefe spoke to the media and didn't shy away from addressing Marchand's antics. He expressed frustration over the officiating and pointed to the need for his team to effectively counter Marchand's disruptive style of play.
With the series far from decided, the Leafs are clearly tasked with finding a strategy to neutralize Marchand if they aim to overcome the Bruins.
