Brad Marchand Subtly Taunts Former Team: “It’s Fun to Be Part of a Winning Group
In a move that has fans and analysts buzzing, former Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand appeared to take a subtle jab at his old team following a recent win with his new club. Speaking to reporters after the game, Marchand remarked, “It’s fun to be part of a winning group,” a comment that many interpret as a pointed dig at the Bruins.
Marchand, who spent his entire career with Boston before a surprise trade this past offseason, was often the heart and soul of the Bruins’ locker room. His departure shocked fans and signaled a major shift for the franchise. While the Bruins have struggled to find consistency this season, Marchand’s new team has been on a tear, sitting near the top of their conference.
The veteran winger didn’t explicitly name the Bruins during his post-game comments, but the implication was clear to many.
“Brad’s always had a bit of an edge to him,” said one NHL insider. “But he’s also a fierce competitor. If he feels like the Bruins gave up on him too early, he’s going to use that as fuel — and he’s clearly enjoying proving them wrong.”
Reactions in Boston have been mixed. Some fans feel betrayed by the comment, while others understand Marchand’s competitive nature and believe his remarks were more about pride in his current team than bitterness toward his former one.
With potential playoff matchups looming, the storyline of Marchand versus the Bruins could become one of the league’s most intriguing subplots. Whether his words were meant to stir the pot or simply celebrate success, one thing is clear — Brad Marchand hasn’t lost his fire.
