Brad Marchand may not be everyone's cup of tea in the NHL, but no one has ever said he does not have a sense of humor. On Thursday night, skating alone with the puck was (once again) a challenge for the Boston Bruins forward.
So on Friday morning, he took to Twitter with a plea for help.
"ATTENTION," the tweet read. "Hands have been lost or stolen, if found please return to TD Garden...thanks."
Ranked second on the Bruins with 64 points (21 goals, 43 assists) in 49 games, Marchand "lost his hands" when corralling the puck on Monday during a shootout. He needed to beat Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart to keep things going — instead he overskated the puck and didn't even record a shot on net.ATTENTION...hands have been lost or stolen, if found please return to TD Garden...thanks

Then against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, he was skating alone on a breakaway, and when he went to make a move, he lost the puck again.
Brad Marchand is apparently cursed on any form of a breakaway now 😭😂 pic.twitter.com/4C1RHTpnMg

Marchand did score a goal on Thursday after teammate David Pastrnak passed on an empty net to feed his linemate for the easy goal.
