According to recent reports, there has been some tension in the Bruins locker room between David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand has taken place.

The "Jones & Keefe" podcast recently discussed a big problem that is growing within the Boston Bruins locker room that includes superstars David Pastrnak and captain Brad Marchand.

The Bruins have been involved in a lot of drama this year, and it seems like things are getting worse after a rift between David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand in the locker room was just reported.

According to Rich Keefe on the "Jones & Keefe" podcast, things are getting out of hand between the two Bruins leaders, and it's putting the organization in a difficult spot: either they are going to have to fix the problem, or one of the two players could end up being traded.

Keefe has broken a ton of news this year for the Boston Bruins, including the firing of head coach Jim Montgomery, and the injury that Hampus Lindholm suffered in November.

He was also one of the first to break the news about the Jeremy Swayman signing in the offseason before other big-name insiders did.

The struggle has been real for the Bruins this year, and recently they have been playing some of their worst hockey. They are currently on a season-worst six-game losing streak and have dropped all the way down to 11th place in the Eastern Conference.

The Bruins need to figure out how to fix this soon. However, with this news breaking, it makes you think if this is the reason Marchand has been mentioned in multiple trade rumours this year.
