Marchand Delivers Savage Chirp in TNT Interview After Bruins Trade

Tampa, Florida – NHL superstar Brad Marchand made headlines during a post-game interview with the NHL on TNT panel on Thursday night, delivering a sharp chirp aimed at fellow panelist Paul Bissonnette.

The Florida Panthers winger’s comment came as the Panthers continued their strong playoff performance, leading their series 2-0 after defeating their rivals in Tampa. Marchand, who was traded from the Boston Bruins to the Panthers earlier this year, offered an assist but was more notable for his banter during a live interview.

When asked about the playoff intensity, Marchand quipped, “These are the series that you want to be a part of. They’re a lot of fun, they’re very intense and very emotional. Obviously, you guys all know. Well, Biz may not, but when you get to that level, it’s a lot of fun out there.” His comment prompted laughter from the panel, referencing the ongoing rivalry with Bissonnette.

Bissonnette, known for his tough persona and love for the Toronto Maple Leafs, responded indirectly, saying, “No, I’m going to decline questioning. But tell him, if he’s lucky enough, we’ll talk in the second round. My Leafs are going to whack ’em—if he’s lucky enough to get there.”

Marchand quickly reacted, saying, “Yeah, I heard him loud and clear. That’s the only thing he talks about these days. I see it everywhere.”

Meanwhile, off the ice, another NHL superstar, Leon Draisaitl, also made waves. In a recent interview with NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, he humorously remarked on his friend Connor McDavid’s demeanor since winning the 4 Nations Face-Off, joking that McDavid has gotten “super arrogant.”

Draisaitl clarified he was joking and praised McDavid for his consistency and maturity on the ice, further solidifying the bond between the two stars.
