Marchand: Maple Leafs should play Matthews 1 vs. 5 to 'make it fair'
Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand has concocted a way to slow down Toronto Maple Leafs sensation Auston Matthews.
It's a bold strategy, but would it even work? It didn't for the Montreal Canadiens last Saturday.
Matthews responded to the tweet during the Maple Leafs' practice Friday, saying, "I thought it was pretty funny," according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.
Matthews has six goals and 10 points in seven games and has been held off the scoreboard just once this season. Luckily for Marchand, the Bruins won't have to deal with him until Nov. 10.
