Whenever Brad Marchand is on the ice, he commands a ton of attention from opposing players due to the fact that he's an elite offensive player and he likes to get under the skin of his opponents.

Players try to rough Marchand up when they have the chance, but he's just as good at dishing out contact.  Sunday, however, he was on the receiving end of a hit from Ryan Dzingel and he wasn't the only one that got taken out on the play.

Referees definitely don't have the easiest job and here's another example of why that is.  It's ironic that refs, who's main focus at the end of the day is to keep players safe, end up getting hurt sometimes, but that's the way it is.

Thankfully the official and Marchand were fine, and Brad got the last laugh with two points in Boston's 2-1 overtime win.
