The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins are set to do battle tonight in Toronto, and we've already got some pre-game fireworks courtesy of two of the biggest antagonists in the National Hockey League.
Both Brad Marchand and Ryan Reaves have traded pre-game verbal jabs at one another, setting the stage for what should be a good game that could include plenty of extra-curricular activities between whistles.
So what exactly does Marchand like to hit Reaves with on the ice?
“He likes telling me he makes a lot more than I do,” Reaves answered when asked what the substance of Marchand's on-ice to him usually consist of. “Doesn’t really bother me. A lot of players make a lot more than I do.”
It wouldn't be long before Marchand would respond, slyly implying that Reaves isn't able to let his comments go.
“Yeah, I think I said that once. …a long time ago; sounds like he’s holding onto it,” Marchand said. “Yeah, but he’s one of those guys that brings physicality to their group, and he’s obviously made a great career out of it. But it seems like there’s always a good rivalry with this team. Usually, that stems from playing each other in the playoffs a few times, and both teams have been very good for a while, and it’s always a fun game to play.”
Who else is looking forward to seeing these two go at it on the ice tonight in Toronto?
