Marchand burns Canadiens for throwing shade his way

Brad Marchand didn't get any shots off during a Game 5 season-ending loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday, but he sure did take a cheeky shot at the Montreal Canadiens a day later.

Early on Monday, the Canadiens' Twitter account sent a public service announcement to an unnamed player, citing the dangers of licking golf balls. It was obviously a not-so-subtle dig at Marchand and his recent propensity for licking opposing players.

Marchand's response, however, is sure to leave a bad taste for Habs fans:

Funny...throwing shade when you were out of the playoff race since October

Montreal, of course, finished the regular season in 28th place, 41 points behind the Bruins.
