Okay, so apparently/allegedly that impressively awkward display of shortness was in response to this...
Now, to be crystal clear, there's absolutely nothing that Brad Marchand could have said that would have intrigued me more than him saying...well...absolutely f'n nothing. Other than filling dead air, I hardly even understand the point of rinkside interviews during which players go out of their way to explore every page of the big book of bland cliches. For that reason, I am in no way annoyed by a professional pest's spiteful refusal to offer anything more than two to three words in response to questions whose actual answers would just as uninteresting had they been more wordy. That said, I do find it odd that the type of player who goes around snapping opponents' sticks with his skate blade can't take a harmless joke about...snapping oppinents' sticks with his skate blade...
Maybe the warmup prior to a pivotal playoff game wasn't the most appropriate time to deliver some contrived comic relief, but if you're going to proudly be a shameless prick then have some self-awareness in entertaining any potential punchlines that might come as a result of your actions. I really, really, really don't care what Brad Marchand has to say before or after a game, but if he's going to keep making a joke out of himself by doing beyond stupid shit, like blatantly punching people in the back of the head, during the game then he should bring a sense of humor with him to any interviews he might agree to after he fact. After all, the only thing worse than an unforgiving asshole is an unforgiving asshole that can't take a single second to laugh at himself.
