Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand will not keep quiet about the National Hockey League's rule modification on faceoffs. During the offseason, the NHL introduced a new rule concerning the faceoffs and Marchand called it a 'complete joke' earlier this week. 

Then, Thursday on Twitter, Marchand went at it again, firing another shot at the NHL. NHL insider Craig Button published a video of Wayne Greztky taking a faceoff back in the day, and commented that if i't was acceptable by the greatest player in NHL history, then it should be acceptable by all'.


Marchand replied to Button's publication with a strong demand on his own, hitting once again at the league's poor decision. 


The Bruins forward is looking for a clip of any legal faceoff, wondering if the new rule has changed too much about the game he loves. 

The definition of the league's handling of faceoffs, per the NHL's rule book, is as follows:

"There will be a stricter enforcement of the face-off procedure - especially with respect to the markings inside the face-off circle. Under section 76.4, the players will be instructed to set, so they will stand squarely facing their opponents' end of the rink, and clear of the ice markings (where applicable). the defensive Player will be instructed to set (skates and stick) then, the offense Player will be instructed to set (skates and stick)."

Doesn't look like Marchand is ready to give up this issue!
