Insider reveals Brad Marchand's season is likely over

Boston Bruins fans are holding their breath as their captain, Brad Marchand, faces the possibility of sitting out the rest of the season.

A controversial hit from Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett has put Marchand in concussion protocol, leaving his availability for the remainder of the Stanley Cup Playoffs uncertain.

According to Rich Keefe of the RichKeefeShow and the Dork Podcast, Marchand's injury is serious enough to keep him out of games four and five, and there's a chance it could end his season prematurely.

Losing Marchand would be a massive blow to the Bruins' Stanley Cup Playoff hopes. The forward is a critical component of the team, and his absence could tip the scales in favour of their opponents.

This isn't the first time Sam Bennett has been at the center of controversy in the playoffs. In 2023, he injured Matthew Knies of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and now his hit on Marchand has reignited the bad blood between the Panthers and Bruins.

With Marchand's status up in the air, the Bruins will need to regroup quickly if they hope to continue their playoff run. As Patrick Maroon advised Matthew Tkachuk before game three, keeping a cool head and avoiding dirty play is crucial in high-stakes games like these.

The NHL's decision not to take action against Bennett has only added fuel to the fire. Given the circumstances, Bennett can expect a hostile reception in game four, as the Bruins look to avenge their captain's injury and turn the series back in their favour.
