Brad Marchand seems to be taking his embarrassing moment well.

As of Tuesday evening, the Boston Bruins forward's only two tweets since he flubbed a shootout attempt Monday night are a photo of him hoisting the Stanley Cup and this response to a Twitter user with fewer than 900 followers:

Marchand whiffed while trying to corral the puck and grazed it on the way by during the shootout, which resulted in a loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, to the delight of Gritty and Marchand's social media detractors alike.

At least Marchand can still brag about Boston's 2011 title, as opposed to dwelling on the Bruins' final-round losses in 2013 and last June.
