Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand has seen his legacy redefined during in his 14-year NHL career. Early on, he was hockey's preeminent pest who earned his «Little Ball of Hate» moniker with injurious plays and trash talk that was just as perilous for opponents.
He's still an elite agitator — no one in the NHL can make headlines with a pregame comment or an off-day tweet like Marchand can.
But after 928 games, 370 goals and a run of team accomplishments with the Bruins, Marchand has taken his place among the best wingers of his generation both offensively and defensively.
With Boston on a record pace for NHL regular-season success, he is looking to add a second Stanley Cup ring to his collection.
