Earlier this week, he said on social media that comparisons between him and Vincent Trocheck was like comparing a Lamborghini to a Prius. Later that night, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Boston Bruins by a score of 7-1, and sent out the following tweet.
Marchand fired back the next, saying "You're still the reason we pay 20% in escrow." This was a shot at the Hurricanes, who have struggled with attendance and franchise value in the past, though it is picking up thanks to better on ice play.
Shortly after Marchand's response to the Hurricanes' Twitter account, player agent Allan Walsh, who likes to get his name involved whenever he can, said the following in regards to Marchand's escrow comment.
Obviously, this in-depth response changed what was a good joke and turned it into a more serious business matter. Marchand clearly wasn't interested in it, as he once again had a hilarious response, this time saying, "It's not that kind of party Allan."
As mentioned, many don't like Marchand's at times questionable, even dirty, plays, but when it comes to NHL players on social media, there are few, if any, who do it better than him.
