Brad Marchard said Friedman’s extension report is fake
Andrew Fantucchio of Boston Hockey Now: Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday night that Brad Marchand and the Boston Bruins were getting closer to three-year contract extension. Marchand doesn’t think that’s true.

It’s funny because yesterday, I used to be walking to the Bell Center, going to work, and, like I said, I don’t listen. But there’s a pair fans that stopped me they usually said, ‘Hey, don’t, don’t hearken to them. Keep working.’ So I noticed, oh, okay, this is going on, right?

It’s a part of the market, you realize. But, like, it’s not going to vary what I do, and it’s not going to make me upset. But when it does, one thing is, I’m almost thankful, because I often, I often overcome the obstacles and the people who doubt. And it fuels me. So I appreciate the market.”
