“I think he’s still obviously one of the best in the world, but he’s not really getting the credit he deserves right now,” Marchand said. “A lot of the attention is on the younger guys, but if you look at the details of the game, and full 200 feet, he’s by far the best player in the League, him and (Colorado Avalanche forward) Nathan MacKinnon.”
He added, “Two good Nova Scotia boys.”

“That’s the way that the game is going,” Marchand said. “The young guys are getting the attention now. There’s a lot of flashy young guys coming to the League but if you look at the attention that Bedard’s getting compared to Sid, they’re not on the same level right now. Bedard’s a [heck] of a player for his age, but Sid’s one of the best to ever play the game, one of the top couple players in the League now and Bedard probably gets more attention than anybody.

Marchie's been one of my favourite players since he came in. A smaller, skilled guy, but he plays a bigger man's game and isn't afraid to drive the paint. Love what he says about Sid and Nate, and the way he leans towards players that play in all areas when he thinks about who the best is. Also, it's cool to market the younger kids, but don't forget about the ones that helped build things along the way. Mentions how Crosby would never say anything, but it just drives him to be even better.
