When you hold the unofficial title of 'top pest' in the NHL, you've got to get creative if you wish to retain the title. Brad Marchand clearly knows that.
Thursday, the Bruins opened their series against the Maple Leafs in Boston, and Marchand was his usually pesky self, doing anything and everything to get into the heads of his opponents. Earlier in the season Marchand set his sights on Leo Komarov using one of his quirkier pest techniques, kissing the forward on the cheek.
Komarov seemed to be totally unaffected by the move, later saying that the two may be made for each other as they both love to talk. Marchand seemingly didn't hear that response, as he tried his kissing technique on Komarov once again on Thursday.
Perhaps Marchand thought that maybe if one kiss didn't do the trick, two would. Again, Komarov seemed to be unaffected by the move. Although, the Bruins went on to win 5-1, so Marchand likely won't be second guessing his methods.
