Brad Marchand is well known for playing hockey on the line of dirty and clean, however, last night it looked like he was on the receiving end of such a play. During the Bruins game against the Sabres, Rasmus Dahlin delivered a massive reverse hit on Marchand that flattened him to the ice. The hit was borderline whether it was clean or not, however, Bruins players took exception.
While no one truly paired off, all players on the ice got involved in the brawl after the fact. The hit would spark the confrontation and drama that occurred throughout the remainder of the game.
Unfortunately for Sabres fans, the night would get a lot worse after this. The Bruins would eventually go on to win 5-2, and arguably worse, one of the Sabres' best players was injured. Tage Thompson was on the receiving end of an awkward trip that forced him out of the game.
Thompson will miss significant time. This is terrible news for Buffalo, who is looking to take the next step in their rebuild by making a push for the playoffs.
