After the Bruins captain scored a hat trick on Sunday night, Brad Marchand was characterized as “special” and “world-class.”You might also add “festive” to the list.
Once Marchand scored his third goal, a hat trick at TD Garden is customarily awarded to a Boston player, and he took a memento from the many hats that were tossed into the ice. Marchand’s choice was obvious because the holidays were already well underway.
Following Boston’s 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, Marchand told reporters, “I saw a nice camo one that I went after right away and then someone saw a Santa hat,” as reported by Belle Fraser of The Hockey News. “I love Christmas so much, it was an obvious choice.”
Marchand had a busy weekend after playing well in both of the Bruins’ back-to-back games. The day before he scored three goals against the Blue Jackets, the two-time NHL All-Star scored the game-winning goal that separated Boston from the Toronto Maple Leafs in an exciting road victory.
Hopefully, Marchand remains calm and collected even with more time off for the Black and Gold. The Boston Bruins, who were tied for the highest total number of points in the NHL as of Monday, won’t play until Thursday night when they host the Buffalo Sabres in Boston.
