Bruins fans are used to Brad Marchand being disciplined by the National Hockey League, although the latest incident may not have them too concerned.

The Bruins forward was fined $2,000 for embellishment in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 1. On the play, Pittsburgh defenseman Olli Maatta tripped up Marchand with his stick, but in an effort to draw a penalty, Marchand tumbled forward. Both Maatta and Marchand were sent to the penalty box, with Maatta whistled for tripping and Marchand for embellishment.
