Brad Marchand got his former teammate good with a big hit.
After a big 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 4, the Boston Bruins now have a commanding 3-1 series lead heading back to TD Garden. Their goal will be to close out the series in Game 5, but the Maple Leafs will make it difficult for them.
Bruins captain Brad Marchand was one of the biggest reasons for the win, as No. 63 had a goal and an assist in the contest. His goal helped him become the franchise's all-time leading postseason goal scorer. However, besides making history, he made an impact in this matchup in other ways.
Marchand, 35, was excellent with the physical side of the game in this matchup, just like he has been all postseason. However, his biggest highlight in that department was when he laid out former teammate Tyler Bertuzzi.
It isn't a secret that Marchand and Bertuzzi have had a heated series with one another, and this latest hit by the Bruins superstar is only the latest example. While these two are friends off the ice, it's clear that they are big-time rivals on it.
