Brad Marchand seems to have a soft spot for the Toronto Maple Leafs these days. Despite being one of the most hated NHL players in Toronto and having eliminated the Leafs in the playoffs countless times, the little ball of hate is refusing to throw his arch-nemesis team under the bus.The Leafs are set to take on the Panthers on Tuesday night, and Marchand was asked about Toronto's slow start to the season.
