Is this face-licking, slew-footing, mouthguard grabbing contemptible elfin going to the HOF? Regular season: 1100 GP; 424 G, 556 A = 980 P. And in the playoffs, well, the guy continues to be as clutch as they come. 176 GP and 155 P and now, after last night, 5 OT winners. Even this Habs fan is troubled.

  1. Dude’s been the definition of clutch despite not being very well-liked. If Florida repeats this year, it’ll be in large part due to them signing Marchand.

  2. I hate him. I despise him. I loathe him. But mostly I admire him. That’s an incredible hockey player. If he ever played for a team I love I’d have named children after him. Instead he’s broken my heart.

    Incredible player.

  3. He is greatest rat of all time. In fact, every fan hates him when he is not on their team but when he is on their team they love him.

  4. First ballot no contest. Unlikable until he plays for your team. Record speaks for itself

  5. Yep. When he started training in the summers with Crosby and MacKinnon he found that next level

  6. First ballot. He may not be the most skilled (though obviously he’s still really really good) but nobody has earned the HOF more than him right now.

    His two way game is also heavily underrated and it helps he was mentored by Bergeron for a while. Insanely good on the puck battle and the forecheck, and has the ability to score when the team needs it most.

  7. Uncomfortable?

    This is one of the most no-brainer picks for the HoF in the last 15 years. Its a lock. He could have retired last year and still gotten in.

  8. Marchand is the man and yes he’s in the HOF. Key in on him and watch the details to his game..goddamn is he fun to watch

  9. Marchand is a buzz saw and plays right at the edge, all of the time. He simply does not quit and will do anything to win and always delivers whenever the chips are down.

    He has acknowledged in several interviews that he knows that he dances along the edge of legality and has taken his lumps when due.

    He is the type of player that wins championships; we all hate him … except when he is on our team.

  10. Love him or hate him (and man do I hate him), dudes been a no question hall of famer for a bit already.

  11. Fuck Brad Marchand ……. But I’d love to see him in copper and blue. He’s great at his role and has enough backbone to follow through. His talent and work ethic ethic are an asset every team needs to make a solid run for the Cup.

    HOF caliber imo

  12. He was going to the hall of fame before he went to Florida. Look at his numbers. What a complete badass clutch guy

  13. Marchand is the definition of a player everyone hates but everyone wants on their team.

  14. he’s my favorite player to hate. sure, he’s a dirty pest.

    but you can’t deny his ability. he’s fast, smart, helpful, and scores

  15. After this year’s playoffs the stats continue to grow. I would expect him to get in the hall at sone point.
    He’s been clutch so far in this years playoffs . With the panthers, he’s thriving but they have him in a perfect role as a third liner. No pressure to be a leader and just play hard.
