"The Big Rig" is making noise early in the playoffs

In just his sixth appearance donning the legendary-B's jersey, veteran winger Patrick Maroon has wasted no time leaving his mark on the Boston Bruins' playoff campaign. Beyond his on-ice contributions, Maroon has emerged as a pivotal leadership figure, providing both guidance and intensity to his teammates.

During Game 3 against the Maple Leafs, Maroon showcased his assertiveness, not hesitating to voice his displeasure after a rough encounter involving teammate Jeremy Swayman. Following a hit on Swayman by Max Domi during a TV timeout, Maroon made his presence felt, emphasizing the team's unity and resilience.

Teammate Brad Marchand praised Maroon's impact, highlighting his ability to maintain composure and rally the team in crucial moments.



For Maroon, staying true to his style of play has been paramount. "It's been great, just trying to play my game, whatever that is," Maroon shared.
Despite his relatively short tenure with the team, Maroon has seamlessly integrated himself into the lineup, forming chemistry with linemates Johnny Beecher and Jesper Boqvist. Praising their skill and hockey IQ, Maroon expressed his enjoyment playing alongside the duo.
As the Bruins continue their playoff journey, Maroon's presence promises to be a significant factor both on and off the ice, providing valuable leadership and grit as they pursue postseason success.
