Blue Jackets DJ trolls Brad Marchand after penalty

Share

In the early stages of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Brad Marchand did a great job of avoiding penalties. In the entire seven-game series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, he avoided the penalty box. Against the Columbus Blue Jackets, it has been somewhat of a different story.

Marchand didn't commit a penalty in the first contest against Columbus, but he logged eight penalty minutes in the next four games. He added to that total in Game 6 by slashing a Blue Jacket in the second period, and the Nationwide Arena DJ responded by brilliantly trolling him, per Joe McDonald of The Athletic.

For those that aren't familiar with the song, there is a lyric in the chorus that repeats this phrase, "Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage."

Marchand has been called a rat by some, so the DJ is clearly taking a shot at him for being in the penalty box (the metaphorical cage). The Blue Jackets did this earlier in the series as well, so it's clear that they were thinking long-term with their joke.

While this was a funny move by the stadium music staff, the Bruins got the last laugh. They were able to kill off Marchand's penalty and David Krejci broke a scoreless tie shortly thereafter.
