Brad Marchand is breaking NHL rules against the Maple Leafs
Brad Marchand has been known to bend rules throughout his NHL career, and Sheldon Keefe knows how effective he is at doing so.
Marchand has been under fire basically his whole career for doing things that are considered dirty, such as slew footing and even licking players between whistles. Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe notes that he is very good at what he does, calling it an art.
He gets calls. It's unbelievable actually, we have to get through that. There's not one other player that gets away with taking out Bertuzzi's legs. It's an art and he's elite at it.

During the Stanley Cup Playoffs, desperate Leafs fans have noticed that Brad Marchand is not wearing his jersey properly, as his sleeves do not reach the cuff of his glove, which is in violation of NHL rules, although rarely enforced.
Although this is quite a ridiculous thing to point out, as Marchand is not the only one to do this in the NHL, it does show that Marchand is a master at not following the rules and getting away with it, much to the dismay of the Leafs, and their fans.
Game 5 between the Bruins and Leafs goes tonight, so we'll see if the officials or even the broadcast has anything to say about the way Marchand wears his jersey tonight.
