Tyler Seguin Takes Playful Jab At Bruins’ Brad Marchand During Video Tribute

BOSTON — Congratulatory remarks for Brad Marchand were echoed by Boston Bruins legends, former teammates and other NHL stars.

Tyler Seguin, however, opted to take his in a different direction.

“Marchy, congrats on 1,000 games, buddy. The fact you’ve done this, and the style you’ve played, all while being one of the best looking guys in the league, it’s pretty impressive,” Seguin joked during a tribute video for Marchand, which aired on the jumbotron at TD Garden on Monday afternoon.

“It was an honor starting our careers together in Boston, winning a championship. I’ve enjoyed watching you’re career from afar. Seeing the husband and father you’ve become, and now to see you’re the captain of the Boston Bruins. It’s incredible. Congrats to your big night.”

The Black and Gold held a pregame ceremony to honor Marchand, who played his 1,000th career game last week, before their Presidents’ Day matchup against Seguin’s Dallas Stars. Seguin was on the opposing bench when his message aired during the first period.

Seguin spent his first three NHL seasons playing for the Bruins, but has been in Dallas for the last 11 campaigns. Nevertheless, it’s clear Marchand and Seguin still have a close relationship with Team Canada connections.

Seguin was not the only opposing player to weigh in on Marchand. Former Bruins teammate Torey Krug, Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby were among those shown during the first-period video.

“It’s way more fun to be your linemate than to play against you,” Crosby said.

Marchand also received special messages from Bruins legends like Ray Bourque, Zdeno Chara, David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron, among others.

No message was more comical than Seguin, though.
