Pre-Game Talk: Game 53: 2/13 | Bruins vs. Lightning | Marchand at 1,000 | 7pm ET | NESN

It's not even the fact that he's an elite player and has had a fantastic career, it's the fact that I don't think I've ever seen a player make other teams fan bases cry as much as he does and for that, it's hilarious and makes me laugh.

For Frederics sake I hope not.

I'll settle for any sort of body contact, honestly.

I’ll give Sway a squeeze, does that count

Pumped b/c I will be there Monday

Brad Marchand, his tight turns are a work of art...among other things he does

When he's on his game, he stops and cuts to his forehand as good or better than anyone.

Freddy hurt him last game

Honestly I feel like people say this every time I suggest Frederic might fight. He’s not Gregory Campbell guys, he can hold his own if he doesn’t get jumped. He has held his own with Wilson, he can hold his own with Jeannot

If he made an angry face more often people would like him more.

It would also require Frederic to show some fire again. Seems like he's sleep walking from a physical stand point. He's playing decent hockey, but yeah, just doesn't seem that engaged lately.

The toughness we should see from TF is not fighting, but hits and good body work. Watched him closley Saturday and saw a reserved politeness in his game.

That is his game- he'll also offer and oblige guys to drop their gloves.

Glad I have him in the line up in the GDT

When Brad was first on the Bs I thought...energy 4th liner...too small. In 2011, I was thrilled at how good he was/is.

Seeing him in person you see how excellent he is. Brad gives 100% every shift.

He gets cheap shots thrown at him every game. They don't show many of these cheap hits on TV. If it was Brad throwing those hits he would be in the box. I do believe the stripes are starting to call some of these hits on Brad. From where we sit many of the refs actually like Marchy.

This is what helps makes Brad so Great !

Cool, thought they would do it tonight. Glad they are not doing it Thursday as we sold those tickets.

I hope this game they play to win and get some shots on goal early and throughout the game. Hoping Brad has a good game for his 1,000th NHL game and the players all work as a team that wants to win. Win it for your Captain!!!!!!

I doubt anyone will dog it tonight. If you can't get "up" for tonight's game as a Bruin you haven't got a pulse. Go Bruins!!
