During a recent game between the Boston Bruins and the Winnipeg Jets, Bruins captain Brad Marchand sealed the win with an empty-net goal, ending the Jets' impressive 34-game streak of allowing three or fewer goals. However, in the aftermath of Marchand's crucial play, a comical video has gone viral on social media.
Shortly after the game, the popular hockey podcast Spittin' Chiclets took to its X account to share a video of Marchand experiencing an unfortunate mishap. The video captured the moment when Marchand took a shot to the most sensitive of places.

The clip quickly gained traction and drew reactions from NHL fans across X.
One fan couldn't resist a bit of sarcasm:
"Couldn't happen to a nicer guy."
Another fan came to Marchand's defense:
"And anyone of your teams would take him in a second, and you would be loving every second. Haters all hate when all they can do is troll what they wish they had"
Adding a touch of humor to the situation, one fan joked about Marchand's potential approach to managing the pain:
"A 'little' pain management"
A skeptical fan questioned the authenticity of Marchand's reaction:
"He's faking. Dude doesn't have nuts."
