Sheldon Keefe fires shots at Brad Marchand after brutal loss
The Toronto Maple Leafs surrendered another game to the Boston Bruins tonight, and much of it was due to Brad Marchand. Sheldon Keefe has now called him out.
A 4-2 victory by the Boston Bruins, led by captain Brad Marchand left fans with controversy brewing. A soft penalty call on Tyler Bertuzzi, on Brad Marchand, turned the energy of the game, and likely led to the end result.
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe made interesting comments on it in his post-game presser, calling him out, but also complementing his incredible skill to be a pest:
Sheldon Keefe on Marchand: "He gets calls. It's unbelievable, actually, how it goes. You've got to play through that stuff. I don't think there's another player in this series who gets away with taking out Bertuzzi's legs the way that he does. It's an art and he's elite at it."

If the Toronto Maple Leafs and Sheldon Keefe want to tame the beast Boston Bruins, they'll first have to figure out how to stop Brad Marchand from taking advantage of them. Easier said than done, however!
