A lot of water has flown under the Boston Bridge after the Boston Bruins left winger Brad Marchand took a brutal hit in today’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The game, though, culminated in the Bruins’ victory (3-2). NHL fans and Brad Marchand’s teammates, however, can’t get over the hit by Penguins player, Pierre-Olivier Joseph. And guess what? The hero of today’s game, David Pastrnak, has taken a jab at NHL officiating when the refs allegedly failed to call it a foul and declare a penalty.
David Pastrnak, who scored his 32nd goal of the season in this game, has criticized the refs. When asked about Brad Marchand’s injury, Pastrnak said, “I mean, I didn’t see the play until the replay. So, now, obviously, it’s never good to lose your captain, you know. And especially players like Mary, who never lays on the ice, you know, and that is not a no-call penalty. That’s a little crazy to me.” Upset Davis Pastrnak also added, “I thought it was hit from behind, especially, you know, a player got injured and a guy like Mary who is Pretty Tough uh so obviously hopefully he’s going to be alright.” But how did the injury happen to Brad Marchand?
Well, in the first period of the Bruins-Penguins game, the Penguins’ Pierre-Olivier Joseph hit Brad Marchand from behind. After the hit, the Bruins No. 63 collided against the board and fell to the ground, probably hurting his shoulder. While the injury ended the game for Marchand, Joseph was not called out by the refs, which was a shock to David Pastrnak, who scored a goal in the power play of the game.
