It's been a tough week for Boston's Brad Marchand, to say the least. After completely missing the puck on a shootout attempt against Philadelphia a few days ago, Marchand became the butt of many jokes and memes all across the league. Even Flyers mascot Gritty got in on the action posting a video of Marchand's gaffe with the caption "just barely licked it." Thursday night in a game against Pittsburgh, Marchand got the puck on a breakaway with no opposing players even close to his position. He lost control of the puck, not even managing to get a shot off. Check it out:

Whatever you think of Marchand, and unless you're a Boston fan chances are you don't hold him in high regard, there's not much questioning his offensive talent. These two recent mess-ups are not usual for Marchand, and even he recognizes that, sending out a Tweet making fun of himself and his lack of luck recent.
"ATTENTION...hands have been lost or stolen, if found please return to TD Garden...thanks," Marchand posted on Twitter Friday.

To be completely fair to Marchand, he did still score Thursday night and his team went on to beat Pittsburgh 4-1. It is nice to see someone willing to make fun of themselves after two pretty embarrassing situations. We sure the hands will be back where they belong in no time. In the meantime, let the awesome memes continue!
