Over the past couple days, one of the biggest conversation around the NHL is the one about microchipped hockey pucks. The league announces that they’d be removing the pucks from circulation after the players and coaches complained that they were behaving differently.
Some would say that they didn’t slide properly, while others were saying that they would bounce different. With a brand new manufacturing process in place to create the puck-tracking devices, it’s understandable that the process isn’t totally ironed out just yet.
For Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand, who always has something entertaining to say, it had nothing to do with the slide or the bounce. They simply wouldn’t go in the net.
Knew there was something fishy about their performance… What kind of witchcraft has gone into these pucks that they just CAN’T seem to cross the goal line?!
Realistically, the dry response is a reflection on their poor performance. When you can’t get a handle on the puck, it’s awfully hard to confidently deposit it into the net.
