Edit request from NoseFaceKilla, 11 January 2012
"Is ANYONE going to add Obama's nickname for Brad at the Stanley Cup Party at the Whitehouse? I tried to add it but some mod is being stupid and won't let me add it, FFS. Here's the ref: http://www.nesn.com/2012/01/barack-obama-recognizes-bruins-achievement-at-white-house-video.html" — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoseFaceKilla (talk • contribs) 22:08, 14 April 2012‎

Not done: Seems like trivia, but if you want to make a detailed request (i.e. the text you want to add and where), someone else may feel differently. Celestra (talk) 15:31, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Edit request from NoseFaceKilla, 15 April 2012
"Can someone please add something along the lines of "Barack Obama teased Marchand on his nickname, and dubbed him 'The Little Ball of Hate' at the White House Stanley Cup celebration party in Washington. This nickname is a reference to Pat Verbeek, who was originally given the nickname by Glenn Healy." Put something like this in the 'Personal' column in his page where all his other nicknames are found. Thanks, and here is the ref: http://www.nesn.com/2012/01/barack-obama-recognizes-bruins-achievement-at-white-house-video.html"

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Thanks for the suggestion, NFK! However, this appears to be trivia, rather than notable content published in high quality reliable sources. There do appear to be other nicknames in the article, but those nicknames need to either be backed up by sources indicating a high level of publicity, or they should be removed. I imagine the latter is probably best. If you need any further assistance, or would like to make another edit request, please feel free to re-enable the requested edit template. Thanks!  &mdash; Jess &middot; &Delta;&hearts; 00:41, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Stylish Bostonian?
How about we simply remove the sentence about Marchand being a stylish Bostonian. Seems irrelevant to me. Higgyrun3 (talk) 04:09, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes! I was going to suggest this myself. It's really not that important that be there, whether or not where he's originally from. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 04:51, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

The lede
at present has a prominent mention of Marchand's asserted 'diving' reputation. However, per WP:MOS rules about WP:LEAD, the lead paragraph is "an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects." The only place that this asserted diving is mentioned is in the lead, which is against Wikipedia guidelines. To characterise this one apparent incident as being "well known around the league for 'diving'" gives WP:UNDUE to this one playoff action. In my opinion, it should be deleted from the lede and  possibly  integrated into some aspect of the section on Marchand's playing career. Shearonink (talk) 04:21, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Seconded. I'd do it myself, by the troll has me at 3 reverts.    Hot Stop     (Talk)   04:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thirded, but I'm not about to jump into this cat fight. Higgyrun3 (talk) 04:30, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have no idea who this dude is, and I never watch hockey (or what is it?), but I can read. It doesn't say "well known" in the sources. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 04:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright bruin fans, I know you're upset, but it's not one instance (last year's playoffs). That is simply the most recent. It is an ongoing issue with Marchand and the Bruins, and it is notable to include it in the lead, because it's a tactic he employs that is known for. Similiarily, if a goaltender commonly does the butterfly style of goaltending, it would be okay to include that information, if it's sourced. And a montage.

 * Youtube is not WP:RS, so I won't even bother clicking. Bring sources that meet the standards set for a BLP. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 04:34, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't care if you want to click or not, it's just visual evidence displaying what I've said via video evidence.
 * WP:OR. Pick a reason for your upcoming block. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 04:36, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Clearly you're upset. It isn't OR, it's sourced to multiple news pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.75.119 (talk) 04:37, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Chase Marchand
Is Brad related to goalie Chase Marchand on the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TSyinide (talk • contribs) 00:51, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

"His play is often overshadowed by his on-ice antics and dirty play"
This would be an uncited opinion, no? 'Often overshadowed' seems very arguable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:100:CE30:F55C:E92B:879B:6F37 (talk) 13:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

The lede suffers from recent-ism
"During the 2017–18 NHL season, Marchand received a series of fines, suspensions, and media controversies for hits on his opponents, as well as his habit of kissing or licking other players. He decided after the season to focus on improving his character, and followed through by scoring 100 points during the 2018–19 NHL season. Marchand's high-scoring season was undercut by a disappointing defeat at the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals, and as he moved into the 2019–20 NHL season, Marchand focused on becoming a playmaker for linemates Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrňák. "

that whole chunk seems unnecessary for the lede - recentism and sounds overly praiseworthy2607:FEA8:BDA0:1A8F:745B:7D6E:9587:85E0 (talk) 23:54, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
