Brad Marchand gets into a Twitter spat again, NHL Twitter reacts

Boston Bruins left-winger Brad Marchand recently took center stage in a new Twitter controversy. After Sunday’s NHL altercation between the Anaheim Ducks Trevor Zegras and the Arizona Coyotes Troy Stecher, the Bruins left wing entered the fray next.

It all started with Marchand’s tweet response to Craig Morgan, an Arizona Coyotes insider who tried to clear up the row between Trevor Zegras and Troy Stecher on Sunday.

However, things seemed to get worse when the Bruins left wing responded with “Shut Your Pie Hole Craig” to Coyotes insider Craig Morgan.

I can confirm via the Coyotes that Anaheim forward Trevor Zegras didn’t say anything about Troy Stecher’s father during their chat last night but, according to a team source, he crossed the line with ” very inappropriate comments”.
Stecher declined to comment on the subject.
