Two radio hosts that cover the Bruins recently suggested that there are growing tensions in the Boston locker room, and they center around captain Brad Marchand and star winger David Pastrnak. Boston radio host Rich Keefe made the accusations.

"The locker room is a disaster," Keefe said. "And David Pastrnak is at the center of that. David Pastrnak has told the team he doesn't want to be on a line with Brad Marchand, and it may stem from Brad Marchand calling out Pastrnak for some of his play."

The allegations Keefe made quickly found its way to the Bruins' locker room, and the players were not pleased with the comments. Pastrnak immediately refuted the claims, and Boston Globe reporter Jim McBride shared his response via his X account.

"I’ve never in my life said I don’t want to play with this guy to the coaching staff or management," Pastrnak said. "And I never would. I love playing with Marchy. I’ve been playing with him for so long."

Are you even a real NHL team if you don't have locker room issues?

I’ll trade their issues for our issues

...and that's how you handle an issue.  Gotta love Marchand.  That's what I see as a captain!

Agreed. Love the response. I am one of the weirdo non-Bruins fans who doesn’t even dislike Marchand. Dare I say I even like him.

I've always liked him since he stopped taking out players knees.

A really great leader for that team.  His leadership is a rare commodity these days.  Pete's right too, I like him a lot more these days after he got done cheap shotting guys.  I hope Cuylle turns into a guy like him.

No.  Licking Cally's face was irredeemable.
