Marchand's responses were straightforward and to the point. When questioned about offering advice to Bedard, he firmly replied, "No, I don't." His words emphasized the respect and caution surrounding Bedard's promising career.
However, the true narrative unfolded during the game's first period. In classic Marchand fashion, he engaged in a series of physical and verbal exchanges with Bedard in an attempt to unsettle the young star. Despite the provocations, Bedard impressively managed to score his first NHL goal, marking a significant moment in his burgeoning career.
But as the game continued, a contentious moment took center stage. Marchand's controversial shove involving his stick into Bedard's midsection, pushing him into the boards, created quite a stir.
