Brad Marchand's Pesky Play Aids Canada's Olympic Semifinal Victory

Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand made a "pesky impact" in Canada's 3-2 Olympic semifinal victory over Finland. Midway through the third period, Marchand was shoved into Finnish goalie Juuse Saros by Erik Haula, delaying Saros and allowing Shea Theodore to blast in the game-tying goal. No penalty was called, a decision Canada's coach Jon Cooper and Marchand defended, citing Marchand's attempt to exit the crease. Saros acknowledged Marchand's consistent "pesky" style, as Canada advanced to the gold-medal game.
