Hockey's ultimate rat Brad Marchand took big bite out of Oilers in Game 2
Article content When somebody asked Brad Marchand before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals how he's feeling with all those plastic rats sailing onto the ice now that he's a real-life member of their Florida Panthers' rodent fraternity, he rolled his eyes. Article content 'Man, they're bullying me,' said hockey's top vermin. Article content Actually Marchand can handle himself just fine. He's gnawed his way into the hearts of the Stanley Cup champions day by day, and on Friday. He took a large bite out of the Edmonton Oilers hopes of going up 2-0, soring his second-ever finals shorthanded on a breakaway on Stu Skinner in the second period—exactly 14 years to the day he had his first one when he was with Boston against the Canucks. And he got the 5-4 second overtime winner, also on a breakaway, on his seventh shot of the game, to end the 88-minute exhausting piece of theatre. Article content Article content It was the first time in Oilers history they had ever lost a Cup final game in OT. Jari Kurri (1987 against the Flyers), Petr Klima (1990 triple OT to beat the Bruins), Fernando Pisani (2006 shorthanded to stun the Hurricanes) and Leon Draisaitl in Game 1 Wednesday were all W's until Marchand struck. Article content Article content In between his goals, there was a near-one from the trade deadline steal in the first OT period, when Marchand was robbed by a Skinner pad save, then slid the puck under the goalie and out the other side. And, the face washes, the snow showers in the crease, the fake chicken wing thrown at Leon Draisaitl when the former Boston Bruins' captain skated by both Oiler players. Article content Even one verbal Tale of the Tape exchange at a face-off where Marchand and fellow smurf Viktor Arvidsson are going at it, with Marchand quite possibly saying, 'I could eat an apple off your head.' Article content Article content 'In the northern parlance…he's a beauty,' said the dry Florida coach Paul Maurice. Article content Article content 'Brad's an incredibly positive human being, a honest man who loves the game, the people around it…he's on the bench pumping tires, telling people to stay in the fight, and you know, he'll be the same way at breakfast, he'll be jacked and he'll be high-fiving everybody,' shrugged Maurice. Article content The coach saw a conga line of high-fives from his players on the ice eight minutes into the second OT after Marchand's goal ended it as Draisaitl got a stick on him on a valiant back-check, only to have the puck trickle over the line. Article content The NHL is a young man's sport but the 40-year old Corey Perry outmuscled Florida winger Eetu Luostarinen to a loose puck to tie it with 18 seconds left and the 37-year-old Marchand won it on his 10th Stanley Cup final goal as his mother Lynn cleared her throat, yelling 'Way to Go Bradley' from the seats.
