Brad Marchand voted both best and worst trash-talker in NHL

At least he wasn’t voted as the league’s best licker.

Bruins winger Brad Marchand has never seen somebody he didn't want chirp at, on or off the ice.

And finally, Marchand has an honor to his name on that front, as Marchand was named both the best and worst trash talker in the league in an NHLPA Player Poll conducted this season.

Fortunately for all of us not blessed with NHL-caliber athletic abilities, Marchand's on-ice evisceration of the opposition have been well-documented throughout the years thanks to NESN's "Behind The B," which has caught some of Marchand's finest work.

Lately, though, Marchand has saved his barbs for his own teammates, as he's repeatedly used his Twitter to chirp at both Torey Krug (a player Marchand 100 percent believes he's taller than despite both skaters being listed at 5-foot-9) and linemate David Pastrnak this season.
