The setting for defenseman Ryan Lindgren was Madison Square Garden in February of 2020. The opponent was the Boston Bruins and the agitating Brad Marchand. An incident occurred during the game where Marchand viciously cross-checked Lindgren from behind after he and now retired B’s captain Patrice Bergeron went at it front of the Rangers net.
“He’s not gonna be a player who’s gonna have a very long career,” Marchand chirped afterwards. “So I’m not overly concerned about him.”
Marchand went on to say that he hopes Lindgren does a great job but he doesn’t see it happening.
