Notorious trash talker Brad Marchand trolls Leafs player from the bench
For a long time, Bruins winger Brad Marchand was known simply as an agitator. He's notorious for running his mouth like it's on a treadmill, and also for the occasional cheap play that will get under everybody's skin.
Now, with an 80-point season under his belt this year, he's also known as an elite two-way forward. But that doesn't mean he's cut the extracurriculars out of his game.
On Monday night, he was at it again. After recording an assist early in a chippy game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Marchand got into a verbal jousting match with Leafs forward Leo Komarov on the bench. That's when he went with a classic insult.

Ah, the ol' "you want an autograph?" routine. Not bad, not bad. And judging from the smirk on Marchand's face, he still enjoys being a ruthless pest as much as ever.
As for Komarov, taking up Marchand on that autograph offer may not be the worst idea considering the Bruins winger should get some Hart consideration this year. If nothing else, Komarov seemed to enjoy the exchange.
