That's certainly one way to get the opposition off its game.
Boston Bruins agitator Brad Marchand was back to some familiar antics Friday, as he licked the face of Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ryan Callahan.
It's been a too-frequent tactic from Marchand, who also hit Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov with his tongue in the first round of the postseason.
Reports originally indicated that the league warned Marchand for his conduct, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly later denied it.
Not surprisingly, Twitter was quick to react to Marchand's latest gross misconduct:
