Anyone who's watched hockey for the last couple of years is well aware that Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins has been suspended a lot since entering the NHL during the 2009-10 season. However, his latest suspension actually has him surpassing "a lot", and going straight to holding the record for the most NHL individual suspensions ever.

According to the Cam & Strick Podcast, "With his 8th career suspension, Brad Marchand officially passes Chris Pronger for most individual suspensions in NHL history."

By the way, it's worth noting that Pronger played 18 seasons in the NHL. Marchand is currently in his 12th.
