The Most Underappreciated Player In Hockey

[@808berg]

Die hard Bruins fan here, I'll always love Marchand. I understand why everyone else hates him so much, but they would love him if he was on their team

[@TheHockeyVault]

Probably the most underated player in the NHL imo. Been putting up insane stats his whole career but is overlooked

[@goblynkyng8666]

He's a complete shit bag of a human being. If you love him, then you're a complete shit bag of a human being. Congratulations. You can be a fan of a team without supporting a dirty player.

[@fliptactics2524]

@@TheHockeyVaultabsolutely not. As a casual fan well before I started following hockey I’d hear his name constantly. He is very well known, at least in the states.

[@gingabread2690]

@@fliptactics2524 he is underrated in terms of his scoring abilities. most people in the states only talk about his cheap shots unless they are a bruins fan.

[@jamiecrawford7220]

Absolutely not, I wouldn't want him on my team he's the king of Slew footing & just uncontrollable out of control there's tons of better players to choose from vs The Rat..

[@TR-vr5pz]

Marchand has 35 short handed goals - one of the NHL greats

[@Yup5757]

The Little Ball of Hate has a pretty good all-around game. Not too shabby for a player picked in the 3rd Round of the Draft.

[@differnet]

And not once did you mention his unwavering loyalty to his teammates. The man puts his body on the line to defend his teammates every time he is on the ice. You do something dirty to a Bruins, Brad is going to stand up if it won't hurt the game. He is also an incredible off ice leader. He is kind to everyone and stops for the fans - especially kids. And he's not bland, like so many players.

[@3_Mjr]

That doesn't make him not a rat lol..all that shit you just said and at the end he's still the biggest rat ever. You cant deny that. Yes, we would love em on our team blah blah but he's not. A rat is a rat regardless who you root for lol.

[@differnet]

@@3_Mjr Call him a rat if you want, but he's also a future Hall of Famer. And like everyone, you're just pissed that he's not on your team.

[@3_Mjr]

@differnet how am I "pissed" that he's not on my team. Why would that make me upset? Lmfao you're just talking to talk. A future hall of fame has absolutely NOTHING to do with him being a rat lmfao. I'm a red wings fan. Yeah, we have sucked for a long time now, but please tell me why I would be upset over the wings never having Brad Marchand? You're just trying to paint him as a Saint when he's a little rat fuck.

[@differnet]

@@3_Mjr Have you ever watched hockey? The purpose of being a pest is to get the other team to take a penalty. Complain all you want for someone who is doing the job well.

[@wadeyearsago]

Every team in the league would take him in a heartbeat.

[@WarioSaysSo]

The Bruins fans love him. All the rest hates his guts.

[@TheHockeyVault]

Im from Vancouver, but hes a beauty tbh LOL

[@ethanparker7900]

deep down they wish they had him on their team though

[@ethanparker7900]

respect. Ofc that 2011 final between the Canucks and Bruins will be a match that'll be remembered for decades to come@@TheHockeyVault

[@WarioSaysSo]

@@ethanparker7900 Very possible!

[@WarioSaysSo]

@@TheHockeyVault LOL

[@slapsshot]

That's Hall of Famer Brad Marchand.......his game has gone full circle, he's Captain of an original 6 team, one of the best two way left wings this decade and all 5' 9" 185 lbs of him lives rent free in all other teams heads- (hello Vancouver).......

[@erikness4231]

I won't say he's not skilled or true to his team. But I'm pretty sure if he did that kind of crap in a different era, he wouldn't have lasted long.

[@Deography]

Oilers fan here and Marchand is my second favorite active player.

[@kaboom9081]

so who's your first favorite? Pasta?

[@dmfour]

Conner McDavid is your first? Great choice.

Dude I rarely comment, you’re channel is way underrated you should be blowing up. The quality of these videos is sick ! Keep at it

Thanks bro! Appreciate it

[@kaboom9081]

12min video for the biggest villain in hockey - what an honor! 😄😄

"Biggest villain in hockey" ? Then you haven't seen much hockey. That's like me saying your comment is the most ignorant statement about a hockey player ever.

Definitely one of the top choices to have as a teammate!!! So tough

[@nategifford33]

Brad the rat Marchand not a fan of Boston but I love that man, old school hockey, mental fortitude, and I think he has a career 30 short handed goals on the biggest defensive team in the league is nuts

[@clamshelljuice]

They could never make me hate him 😂

[@markhunt575]

About 3 years I worked at a Full Service Gas Station on the South Shore of Boston and a woman overheard me talking about the Bruins with another customer. She told me not to say anything bad about Marchand who the week before had been at a wedding where her son was best man and said Brad was so gracious and generous that she'd become his biggest fan.

[@goblynkyng8666]

Then you're a completely useless human being. If you support a player that does his best to hurt other players when he has no reason to do so, then you're just a dick. He has so much talent....but chooses to be a dick. If you love him for being a dick....that makes you a dick.

[@ebudds]

Things would be absolutely different if Brad was a D tier hockey player no doubt. But he can clearly put up the numbers. He knows how to get under peoples skin and it works.

[@towheebird]

Appreciate the deep dive on Capn' Brad. Great content :)

[@TheHockeyVault]

Thanks brodie

[@basicmeme1040]

2006-2007 bruins draft was insane

[@Jack-ms3so]

They made him a Captain, because the team is always better with his skating skills and intensity!

[@Jack-ms3so]

Marchand is old school and that’s why we love him!

[@Kaden-gg5pb]

Marchand is the definiton of a hockey player hes tough and doesnt take anything from nobody and averages 40 goals a season

[@ethanparker7900]

Everyone hates going against him but they never admit that while they do hate going against him they would love him if he were on their team. If the bruins had won game 7 of the cup finals in 2019 I would've had him as the Conn Smythe Winner. He and Bergeron will not only go down as one of the sickest duos in bruins sports history but NHL history altogether

[@maxx4576]

Hes a great player, but i dont want him tarnishing the cannucks brand. His legacy will be his dirty and unsportmanslike plays, not his good plays. A shame, but his behavior has no place in professional sport

[@TheHockeyVault]

Everyone would love to have him on their team. One of the most underrated players in NHL history

[@ethanparker7900]

people like you are exactly why this league is so soft now compared to the 2010s. Focused on all the wrong things. He is an agitator thats what makes him stand out and his young teammates look up to him. He has value in the locker room and is really good with mentoring teammates and keeping the locker room loose and fans in the Boston Community. Yes he has had some questionable antics in the past but there have been far worse things than what he has done. Maybe hockey isn't your thing maybe you should go play softball or soccer instead if you're gonna pussify the league. @@maxx4576

[@ethanparker7900]

he reminds me very much of myself when i played growing up. I was always the fiesty yappy one but also had wicked wrist shots and can use em to score. 2019 sure hurt bad cause he prolly would've been the mvp and it was at home unlike 2011 in vancouver. Plus, it would be 2 cups for him instead of 1 and 2/3 for finals results instead of 1/3 although 1 is better than none yes. People who whine and cry ab past antics and ignore his skill and talent are exactly why the league is softer than ever now and it kinda sucks. People don't realize there have been far worse things and players than him too. @@TheHockeyVault

[@sqidvishus]

I think his legacy will be both. History has a way of softening facts around the edges. Look at someone like Mike Tyson - the guy was brutal, dirty at times, he made mistakes in and out of the ring. But, his legacy is that of one of the greatest boxers in history.@@maxx4576

[@tod1045]

Yeah, but you'd love to have him on your team, wouldn't you?

[@TheHockeyVault]

Of course, I say this at like 9 mins into the vid. Most underappreciated player in hockey right now

[@DevinBrotherton]

Im a hads fan but tbh brad can play a good game and does not like to lose and that's hockey we need more

[@NotEnoughNelsons13]

“Yes brad Marchand” we all say in unison

[@bbb462cid]

As a student of the NHL's history, it seems to me you never heard of Sprague Cleghorn, a great hall off ame player who held grudges a mile wide, espeically against his former team mates. This was a man who was so violent he was actually once fined by his own Team's manager for his attack on Lionel Hitchman....a player for a different Team lol. That's a man who once beat his own wife with one of his crutches. Marchand seems like a choirboy in comparison.

[@F4llenGrizz]

I love Marchand. Super underrated. He gets a bad rep for some of the stuff he does but I love him

[@stevenbiggar8223]

Best LW of all time . Can score, hit, and get under players skin.

[@peteormond3565]

Ha, nice try

[@TommyWyman]

Honestly, if you your least favorite player is Brad you’re an NPC

[@basicmeme1040]

I find it funny. He's the fre Greenlawn of hockey vice versa. Seems like a great guy outside of hockey but in the game, oh boy, and it's not like he's bad at hockey, 60 point guy.

[@buffalowick8003]

[@mikem9536]

Marchand might be a good player, but he will be remembered most for his dirty diving tactics.

[@dangdelucia]

Oh captain, my captain 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀 Haters can die mad about it.

[@dmfour]

His numbers are better than most NHLers. And as far as being dirty, the times he's been cheap shotted is a bit more than any of his shenanigans. Barring any insanity, he's in the Hall. This video is bias big time. He's gotten called for penalties that were BS. He gets called more because of his reputation which he did create that himself. But he doesn't make no bones about either. The league is changing whether we like it not to a weaker game so that the skills can shine, but in the days of Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Phil Esposito, Bobby Clark and Bobby Orrs they played hard AND showed the skills. It's all watered down and guys like Brad still reflect that old world hockey.

[@TheHockeyVault]

The most underrated player today imo

[@sidneywolfe9260]

'Promosm' 😇

[@kwan3560]

Any hockey fans would be embarrassed to have him on their team. His numbers are simply because he was hitching onto great players. He didn't get more penalties was simply due to who the owner of the Bruins is. If he is on any other team, he would still be sitting in the penalty box at this very moment.
