He read and heard -- and took to heart -- absolutely everything that was written and said about him (and a lot is written and said in this intense media market), wasn’t nearly tough enough, and didn’t seem all that interested in working on becoming the dominant two-way defenseman his skills indicate he can be. Instead he seemed most focused on power plays and points and becoming a great offensive defenseman, rather than a dominant all-around player.

This article is pure gold. Let's have Marchand talk about how the dressing room is divided and there are separate cliques. Let's take the word of one of the biggest d-bags in the game.

A poll of veteran Bruins players, if truth serum was involved, would probably reveal that many of them felt that guys like Hamilton and Reilly Smith weren’t willing to pay the price to win, and didn’t really want to be Bruins at the end of the day.

So there's literally 0 evidence of this, and yet the author talks about it as proven. I mean why would you write something like this?
I'd much rather have someone like Hamilton in the dressing room than that little rat Marchant who seemed sad his fellow idiot friend Ference wasn't around.
