Apparently he and Marchand used to hang out and Marchand was a bad influence on him. I'm not joking. Marchand grew up about 17 minutes from where I am sitting right now. He has a real bad name here because like his childish antics on the ice in Boston he acts this way when he is home in the off-season. Crosby and about 20 other NHL'ers trained here last summer and Marchand was part of the training group. My buddy ran into one of the players and he asked if Marchand was acting like a dickhead during training and the dude apparently chuckled and said pretty much. I can't remember who the player was. Maybe Tavares, but I'm not positive.
