Brad Marchand delivers a ridiculously dirty hit on Tuesday night.

There's no question that Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand has a reputation as a dirty player,and he demonstrated why on Tuesday night,

In a play that will unquestionably be reviewed by the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety, Marchand sent Ottawa Senator Mark Borowiecki end over end when he hit him with a ridiculously cheap hit. Marchand blind-sided Borowiecki who wasn't anywhere near the puck at the time, while both men were behind the play in the Ottawa zone, in the very first period of the game.

This will likely mean that Boston fans who paid good money for Winter Classic tickets will be watching the event without one of their key players in the line up.
