In the ongoing first round series between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston captain Brad Marchand has been making waves with his fiery play. However, his antics reached a boiling point in Game 5 when following a trip from Pontus Holmberg, Marchand found himself in a heated exchange with referees, resulting in one of them tackling him.

Now, in Game 6, Marchand is at it again, this time seen shoving referees. Some speculate that it could be a strategic move to ignite a fire under the Bruins, especially after they struggled, being outshot 12-1 despite the score remaining tied. Fans didn't like it,

Marchand pushed the ref after being tied up with Bertuzzi at the bench.
Is that not a penalty?😳
That was wild.

Marchand's aggressive demeanor is certainly adding fuel to the playoff intensity between these fierce rivals.
