Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand is the most suspended player in NHL history with 8 suspensions. That should come as no surprise to anyone who watches hockey.
On top of those suspensions, Brad Marchand has forfeited over $1.4 million in salary prior to this season and he’s just been hit with another fine.
After a dangerous trip on Seattle Kraken forward Oliver Bjorkstrand, Brad Marchand was served another $5,000 fine by the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. $5K is the maximum fine under the CBA.
In order to foot those bills, Brad Marchand hopped back on Cameo where he charges $200 for video messages and $20 for text messages. We know this because Marchand joked on Twitter about getting back on Cameo just to pay his fines:

Some hockey fans chimed in with chirps:
Wake up babe new cap circumvention just dropped.

At least a down payment on one…
NHL could build a stadium for the coyotes with the money you’ve paid them in fines

Here is the dirty trip on Olive Bjorkstrand that led to Brad Marchand getting fined and ultimately winding back up on Cameo:
Marchand’s nickname has been ‘The Rat’ for years and it’s not just because he looks like a rat, it stems from his dirty style of play. He’s not the only person in the league who plays the way he does and the excuse I always hear from Boston Bruins fans is ‘you’d love him if he was on your team.’
But it’s hard to see a clip of highlights like this and question why he isn’t fined even more than he already is:
