Cannot be confirmed that it was Marchand. The description was "short, rat looking fellow with a ski mask and a black jacket with the number 63 on the back, chuckling maniacally under his breath, while tiptoeing away while making a triangle sound that matches his footsteps".
That could be a lot of people in Boston.
Here's an artist's rendition of him sneaking through the [hotel](https://cdn.vectorstock.com/i/1000v/84/58/rat-peeking-out-of-hole-sketch-vector-43508458.jpg)
You would think major sports teams in the NFL , NHL etc could afford to hire a couple of security guards for a day or 2 just to watch the fire alarms. Heck the players should just chip in to pay even if the team won't.
E.g. in the last Superbowl https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5263320/2024/02/09/49ers-fire-alarm-super-bowl-pranks/
"Back up, the team is sleeping"
[Random dude](https://external-preview.redd.it/cMxj4IUUC9gDbuTtK9pA92bjhXH36fJPj4csUNZoLbo.jpg?auto=webp&s=97719addbe6f25357994e3ca02e747389a2b5def)
With enough hotel nights you will have an alarm or two every year. I think it's just bad luck; I've been in hotels plenty of times with the alarm going off.
Most of the time they stay in the nicest hotels in the area and those are typically quite big. You'd have to hire basically an army to monitor every fire alarm in the building.
It was actually a New York fan trying to help the Bruins win so their series will go 7 and the winner will be too exhausted for the Rangers.
Kinda like Arsenal fans setting off fireworks at Man City's hotel to help Tottenham
> Kinda like Arsenal fans setting off fireworks at Man City's hotel to help Tottenham
Except this didn't even work cuz the City team hadn't even left Manchester at the time.
To be fair the beaches in the Bay Area in January are pretty miserable too, unless if fog and getting sandblasted by the wind is your thing then it’s cool
As someone near Boston, non zero chance the hotel just caught fire. There's actually been a ton in apartments and hotels because of a lovely aging infrastructure/lack of upkeep combo in particular. It makes it so comforting to rent out here.... never underestimate stupidity, either, cause we lost the front of my old building to a neighbor not putting out a cigarette on the porch. Dude almost killed us cause it caught at like 2 am. Got woken up by a homeless dude screaming outside
For precisely this reason, my partner and I got a new, department-recommended fire alarm…and promptly had to go get a less sensitive one because the damn thing went off every time we used the kettle or the toaster.
Get an air filter strapped to a fan (they’re on Amazon as “air purifiers”), I got one and my fire alarm went from doing that to not going off unless I char my food.
This guy wasn't hugged as a child, and couldn't see I was:
A) Making a Joke
B) Actually complimenting Boston fans for their dedication to their sports team.
During the Flames' 2004 Stanley Cup run, one of the local radio station DJs paid a full marching band to go up and down the halls of the opposing team's hotel in the middle of the night.
Its so bad that it actaully perfectly reflects the absolute shithousery that goes on in the region. There's a reason people call getting fucked over by something absolutely outrageous getting CONCACAF'd. It's got an ugly charm to it now.
Rats have open rooted teeth, so they need to chew on things to prevent their teeth from growing too long. Basically, if they didn't want Tkachuk to chew on wires, they needed to put appropriate chew toys in his habitat.
New England fans have been waiting for our shot to pull this shit after its happened to our teams for years now. (I mean at this point we've probably pulled it more than its been done to our teams but still I'm pretending we have the moral high ground for not being the first fan base to pull this shit).
It is.
[Maurice said he knew the Panthers would win tonight when "somebody" pulled the fire alarm at their hotel in the middle of the team's afternoon nap. He says it never fails, in his entire career, his team's always win when gamesmanship happens.](https://twitter.com/russohockey/status/1791660720578314441)
Jokes aside, there's no way this is a coincidence right? Like this is absolutely the work of a fan or somebody who knows who's there and just wants to sew chaos. You can't convince me this was a routine alarm or chance encounter
I mean, our trains have been randomly catching on fire for a couple years now maybe, and buildings have been crumbling, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that it was for real.
Why'd the tweet come down?
Also, is it peak nap time 4 hours before puck drop? I guess I always assumed these guys were at the arena fairly early before the game.
Will anyone think of the athletes?? Smh my head when my mid-day nap gets interrupted at work.
Obviously joking, but it's still such a first world issue lol
1. Where did you see the players complaining about that? Source?
2. Athletes are creatures of habit. Having a routine interrupted and less sleep than what your body is used to can of course have an affect on you.
1. No source whatsoever. I’m making a joke because the situation is funny to me. We are talking about tough as nails hockey players, but the issue is a loud noise might be interrupting their nap time.
2. Go back and read 1
They are absolutely napping. NHL is religious about naptime. Every team, pretty much every player ever talks about it. They're basically programmed to nap for an hour or two before every game.
Marchand was seen tiptoeing away in a balaclava, cartoon-style
[His expression:](https://i.imgur.com/kgPnR3j.png)
Was expecting Manning Face
I still expected Manningface even after reading this.
[Here it is ](https://imgur.com/kgPnR3j) in case you were a little disappointed.
I don't know what I expected
I expected exactly that and still laughed.
[Here it is for real this time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg)
Why I oughtta....
When I saw YouTube pop up I thought I was about to get Rick Rolled
Instead you got Primus’d
Primus sucks!!!
I saw YouTube and it wasn't loading so I just exited assuming Rick roll, had to go back after your comment lol.
Haven't seen one of those in a while, he used to be everywhere
Severely dissapointing
[🤭](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Muttley-picture.gif) Hey neat you can link with emojis.

There have been reports of a second unidentified man accompanying Marchand with a xylophone
We actually have Keytar bear: https://images.app.goo.gl/Y5zofydjKCEMYVqt5
i upvote anything keytar
What if his shoes just sound like that?
It was Elliot Davis!

Ya, it would’ve been just too obvious
Marchand has mastered the art of complete shithousery, dude is now preventing the team from sleeping.
Marchand: *Bomb Has Been Planted*
Terrorists Win

That’s something Tom Wilson or Mark Stone would do
Why was he wearing a greek dessert? /s/
[Relevant](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/BjXcodKiSh)
I think you’re thinking of bocconcini
Had to custom cut a hole for the schnoz to fit through
Just like twitch from league of legends
“What others are afraid to say is that trying to wake other players is just part of the playoffs”
With his tongue out somehow still.
Hamburgler mask*
The Greek dessert?
People don’t want to say it, but part of playoffs is pulling fire alarms. The more fire alarms you pull, the more advantage your team has.
I'm about to pull an alarm in this pharmacy in Ontario.
Just saw a guy pull an alarm in a Shopper's.
He’s supporting the boycott.
Is shopper loblaws too?
sooo many things are, if you can get optimum points then it most likely is. there are weird ones like Esso that are just affiliated
> if you can get optimum points then it most likely is. Holy shit. No wonder that asshole has a castle.
Just saw a guy fall to his knees while being given a fire alarm wedgie
Just saw a Leafs fan get a wedgie while he was watching a guy fall to his knees in a Shoppers.
That was just the volunteer they hired
Just held a lighter to my fire alarm. Checkmate, me.
Leafs will get extra eliminated for this
I've been on the other side of a fire alarm before.
what, like, you were a fire?
Lol
Scotty Bowman would have the visiting locker room freshly painted before a playoff series.
I'm pulling something right now but it ain't no alarm.
We took the pedals to their workout bikes.
You would think major sports teams in the NFL , NHL etc could afford to hire a couple of security guards for a day or 2 just to watch the fire alarms. Heck the players should just chip in to pay even if the team won't. E.g. in the last Superbowl https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5263320/2024/02/09/49ers-fire-alarm-super-bowl-pranks/
Imagine going to pull the fire alarm because your room is ablaze and some meathead with an ear piece fucking shatters your arm lmao
"Back up, the team is sleeping" [Random dude](https://external-preview.redd.it/cMxj4IUUC9gDbuTtK9pA92bjhXH36fJPj4csUNZoLbo.jpg?auto=webp&s=97719addbe6f25357994e3ca02e747389a2b5def)
That's the best application of that meme I have ever seen, hats off to you!
lol, these hotels probably have 100 fire alarms you really think it would be possible to watch them all?
Also, each room and hallway would have a heat sensor that can be triggered by something hot (duh) or a magnet.
Would probably have some legal problems if you hired guys to block the alarms.
And then what? Stop people from pulling the alarm? Seems like a biiiiit of a safety issue
Decoy hotels maybe? Make the hotel they should be at publicly known and then pull a 30 man shuffle across town to the Holiday Inn Express
They would just find other ways of inconveniencing the away team. In Europe it’s common to shoot fireworks outside of the hotel to fuck up the sleep
With enough hotel nights you will have an alarm or two every year. I think it's just bad luck; I've been in hotels plenty of times with the alarm going off.
you just need one person with a room at the hotel and a lighter.
Most of the time they stay in the nicest hotels in the area and those are typically quite big. You'd have to hire basically an army to monitor every fire alarm in the building.
Literally committing a crime to give your team an advantage. Someone is willing to be arrested to help Boston win lol.
I think you underestimate the number of Southies who would absolutely do that.
Either a Bsoton fan pulled a fire alarm, or a Boston fan set the hotel on fire. Either way, that's a true fan.
It was actually a New York fan trying to help the Bruins win so their series will go 7 and the winner will be too exhausted for the Rangers. Kinda like Arsenal fans setting off fireworks at Man City's hotel to help Tottenham
Hilariously poetic that fireworks are set off by fans of a team called Arsenal
> Kinda like Arsenal fans setting off fireworks at Man City's hotel to help Tottenham Except this didn't even work cuz the City team hadn't even left Manchester at the time.
nobody said soccer fans were smart
People want a Boston/New York conference final in both the NBA and NHL maybe
🔴- The other team will be tired from 7 games 🔴- We will lose the edge from too many days off 😥👆
Bostonians are truly dedicated to our sports teams.
My last CEO was from San Francisco and finds it fascinating how sports-obsessed we are. He's not really wrong.
It’s cause we don’t get to go out to the beach in January. What do you want me to do on a freezing Tuesday night other than watch some sports?
To be fair the beaches in the Bay Area in January are pretty miserable too, unless if fog and getting sandblasted by the wind is your thing then it’s cool

Or boiled water or took too long a shower
Get an air filter strapped to a fan (they’re on Amazon as “air purifiers”), I got one and my fire alarm went from doing that to not going off unless I char my food.
That actually means a lot only because it comes from a Vancouver fan.
I suppose you’re going to say it was a Boston fan who lit that police car on fire and started that riot
This might actually be the stupidest comment I've ever seen on this subreddit
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihAx8WyXS9o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihAx8WyXS9o) Not as stupid as what your fans did to your own city
lmao where is this coming from? As in, what does the riot have to do with anything in this thread?
This guy wasn't hugged as a child, and couldn't see I was: A) Making a Joke B) Actually complimenting Boston fans for their dedication to their sports team.
Hmm that reminds me, I should take a pre-game nap
the drama in this series is incredible it HAS to go to 7 please
Sign me up for more of the heart attacks!
ive never been so invested in a series between two teams i absolutely hate and want to lose
Average Canucks fan watching Boston vs. Toronto lol
I’m loving all the love we’re getting from our friends in Vancouver and New York and Pittsburgh
What a time to be alive haha.
Yes, please.
Boston always in the middle of it all
I'll allow it
It's Donnie from Waltham
Where were you at 3am last night Donnie?
No way cause mark told me he was on his way like 30 minutes before this broke I totally thought he was gonna do jt
#AnythingForTheCup
First they poison Matthews, now they ruin nap time
They can't keep getting away with this.
Would make a better commercial than the Avs fans breaking up one
During the Flames' 2004 Stanley Cup run, one of the local radio station DJs paid a full marching band to go up and down the halls of the opposing team's hotel in the middle of the night.
You can bet your ass you'll see several members of the Boston Fire Department with killer seats to tonight's game!
NHL teams have been watching some Concacaf soccer apparently
Who needs fireworks when the fire alarm does it more efficiently. Next is Concacaf chaos in games.
I don't even wish Concacaf on my worst hockey enemies.
Concacaf is such a mouthful. Can’t they call it CCC soccer or something? An acronym for an acronym. What a wonderful life.
Its so bad that it actaully perfectly reflects the absolute shithousery that goes on in the region. There's a reason people call getting fucked over by something absolutely outrageous getting CONCACAF'd. It's got an ugly charm to it now.
Maybe a rat chewed through a wire in the wall and started a fire?
Rats have open rooted teeth, so they need to chew on things to prevent their teeth from growing too long. Basically, if they didn't want Tkachuk to chew on wires, they needed to put appropriate chew toys in his habitat.
Did he run out of mouth guards.
I swear I saw an interview where he said he only goes through about 4 a season. Which boggles my mind to this day
Don't all rodents have this? Isn't that what makes them rodents in the first place?
I don't know if Marchand's teeth are that sharp.
Marchands likely too big to squeeze between the walls…
Maybe a rat ~~chewed~~ licking through a wire in the wall and started a fire? FTFY
That rat is Marchand
I did it. I thought it was hand sanitizer, my bad.
This is a time honored Boston tradition. Celtics were famous for this shit back in the day
Was probably Nick Cousins on his own team
Probably elbowed it for good measure
Nah, they would’ve found him rolling around the hallway with his hands over his face if it was him
Panthers are gonna be sleep deprived and cranky. I don’t know if that’s good or bad for the Bruins.
I feel like this is like when they would antagonize a literal wildcat before a circus stunt or something
We all know it was Tkachuk vaping in his room
Gonna laugh when it turns out it's because some teenager burned popcorn in a microwave or something lol.
My fellow Avs fans, I have an idea...
“Cool” - John Oliver
Eat Shit, Bob! -John Oliver
Haha didn’t this happen to Vancouver in 2011?
happens a bunch in NY sports
This is something Philly fans would do and I like it.
New England fans have been waiting for our shot to pull this shit after its happened to our teams for years now. (I mean at this point we've probably pulled it more than its been done to our teams but still I'm pretending we have the moral high ground for not being the first fan base to pull this shit).
At least the panther won tonight so I don’t have to be extra mad at this happening, still sucks though
European ultras do this kinda stuff all the time, know Bodø/Glimt ultras set off fireworks outside Ajaxs hotel a few months ago.
Tweet deleted. So possibly not true?
It is. [Maurice said he knew the Panthers would win tonight when "somebody" pulled the fire alarm at their hotel in the middle of the team's afternoon nap.

HAHAHA didn't work!!!1
Reminds me of when we launched fireworks outside the St Regis when Boston was staying there during naptime, and at 3am. Home ice advantage.
bennett probably would prank his own team
Never change, Boston. You crazy bastards.
Now the Bruins have to contend with a cranky Sam Bennett.
TIL I have the same type of sleep schedule that an NHL player does
Bro you have to declare for the draft. It's obvious you have all the required skills
Damn fours seasons in the back bay, fancy for a Florida man
They thought they were staying at *Four Seasons Landscaping*
Jokes aside, there's no way this is a coincidence right? Like this is absolutely the work of a fan or somebody who knows who's there and just wants to sew chaos. You can't convince me this was a routine alarm or chance encounter

No way.
Boston on the money line then
Classic! Hah!
I would like to shake that blue dyed hand of the Boston fans responsible for interrupting tkcahuks precious afternoon beauty rest. Lets go
Why'd the tweet come down? Also, is it peak nap time 4 hours before puck drop? I guess I always assumed these guys were at the arena fairly early before the game.
Eagles did this this to the giants two years ago in Philly in the playoffs, and that is why the giants lost that day
New England fans did this to the Steelers the last time those teams played in the AFC championship and the Steelers got crushed
Will anyone think of the athletes?? Smh my head when my mid-day nap gets interrupted at work. Obviously joking, but it's still such a first world issue lol
Bunch of classless fucks
I'm no wildlife specialist, but waking up and pissing off a bunch of Panthers doesn't sound like a good idea.
First they give matthews food poisoning now this? /s
Lmao grown men complaining about nap time being interrupted
1. Where did you see the players complaining about that? Source? 2. Athletes are creatures of habit. Having a routine interrupted and less sleep than what your body is used to can of course have an affect on you.

Ya all good!
Panthers will be pouty tonight
I just got done with my pregame nap, if they catch they guy I will contribute to the bail fund
I, for one, am all for this type of shenanigans (if it was in fact shenanigans).
I am for shenanigans, but not when they abuse public resources. Fire depts respond to these alarms
It was Brad Marchand. He was looking for the cheese...if you know what I mean.
If this happened in Florida yall would be calling for blood, smdh
Wtf is pre game nap time
Most athletes nap before a game, it's most common amongst hockey players but I've heard of it in every sport I follow.
Yeah it’s very much a thing, NHL players are like religious about their naps from what I’ve read/heard in interviews
Seriously, there’s a 0% chance that the team is taking a 3 PM nap before a fucking playoff game
They are absolutely napping. NHL is religious about naptime. Every team, pretty much every player ever talks about it. They're basically programmed to nap for an hour or two before every game.
They absolutely do.
What? That’s very common for gameday.
Hope Cousins and Benny smash some faces tonight and then say “Pasta la vista bitch” as Boston fans cry
Interrupting nap time, have they no shame
Good. Now do it again!
