Pat Maroon Sends Bruins Rookie A Tough Message After Controversial Hit
The Boston Bruins are up against the Minnesota Wild tonight, and the game is far from dull, thanks to the usual antics of Wild forward Pat Maroon.
Following a clean hit from Bruins' Parker Wotherspoon, Maroon wastes no time dropping the gloves and challenging him, resulting in a decidedly one-sided bout.
Pat Maroon drops the gloves with Parker Wotherspoon for having the audacity to make a clean shoulder check in the D Zone.

Maroon not only seized the initiative against Wotherspoon but essentially left him without a chance. After all, this is Maroon's forte and a key reason for his enduring presence in the league.
Reacting to the aftermath of the hit, Maroon swiftly took on the rookie defender, who only has 17 games under his belt in the National Hockey League.
