Bruins' Brad Marchand: 'Luke Skywalker is a beauty'
The Boston Bruins are hockey nuts, but it does not seem like their passion transfers over to Star Wars. Joe Haggerty of CSN New England recently went around the Bruins' locker room asking which Star Wars character each player would be, and Brad Marchand and Landon Ferraro were the two players who seemed to know the most about Star Wars as they tried to match up members of the Bruins' roster with characters from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
While Ferraro had a relatively thoughtful response to the question, Marchand's answer was filled with hockey cliches and jabs at some of his teammates.
Via CSN New England:
Clearly Marchand forgot that Zdeno Chara is the oldest player on the team and 43-year-old Jaromir Jagr still plays in the league, but at least he seems to know something about each of the characters in Star Wars. Still, it's unclear whether Chris Kelly would be Han Solo or Yoda.
Landon Ferraro went the obvious route when he told Haggerty he would be Lando Calrissian since the two have nearly the same name, but he admitted the idea of selling out his friends would not be ideal. Still, Ferraro noted that it was all done for the greater good.
"Luke Skywalker is a beauty," Marchand told Haggerty. "And Han Solo is awesome. Chewbacca is pretty good too. I guess [Han Solo] is awesome. He’s a bad boy and he’s got a spaceship and everything. He’s always angry like Chris Kelly. Considering that [Kelly and Talbot] are the two oldest guys in the league, they would both be Yoda."
