In the ongoing Bruins-Maple Leafs playoff series, Brad Marchand and Tyler Bertuzzi have been locked in a fierce rivalry, both verbally and physically.
However, in Game 3 at Scotiabank Arena, tensions between Marchand and Bertuzzi boiled over into a physical altercation late in the second period. Engaged in a slashing battle near Toronto's blue line, both players tumbled to the ice, creating a distraction that allowed Trent Frederic to capitalize with a game-tying goal against goaltender Ilya Samsonov.
As a gritty left winger, Bertuzzi, who played for Boston in the latter half of last season, anticipates what to expect from Marchand in the future.
