Matthew Tkachuk spoke about Brad Marchand’s move to the Florida Panthers during his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

Marchand has long been affectionately known as a rat on the ice. Well, that affection really is dependent on the opponent and who you ask. The moniker, if you will, is used as a description for how the forward plays, for his in-your-face, sometimes-annoying and always-chirping style.
