Former NHL star Paul Bissonnette recently found himself in a dangerous situation. The analyst was assaulted by a group of six to seven men in a restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand caught the attention of this and made fun of him.

During the game between the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins, Marchand was interviewed in the middle of the game by the NHL on TNT crew. “Biz Nasty” was a part of this and tried to poke fun at the veteran forward.

Marchand had a few off-season surgeries. The former Phoenix Coyotes star tried to joke with Marchand regarding a potential hair transplant while asking about this. “Did one of the offseason surgeries include a Turkish hair transplant?” Bissonnette asked.

I just try to look like those guys that beat the wheels off you the other night.

Marchand has often been called a “pest” in the NHL for his actions both on and off the ice. He has also many times got into a chirping incident with Biz Nasty and has made fun of him live on air. The two of them have had a lighthearted and playful relationship over the years gone by.

The centre player would hilariously claim that the duo of him and Marchand unintentionally played the good cop, bad cop game.

Hey Biz, I’m glad to see you’re alright dude. And good job stepping in there, the hockey world was really proud of you… I saw what he said right before I came on the ice. I loved it. That was great.
