Why did Brad Marchand delete his Twitter account? NHL fans give hilarious explanations

Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand recently deactivated his Twitter account. Marchand is a frequent user of the social media platform and is known for his hilarious Tweets. This has left fans wondering why his account has been deactivated.

It all came to light on Wednesday, when fans were unable to locate his Twitter account. When they searched for his name, Twitter stated that the account did not exist. Joe Haggerty of 'Boston Hockey Now' provided an update to fans about the reason for Brad Marchand's account deactivation.

Since then, fans have flooded Twitter with explanations for Marchand's Twitter account deactivation.

Prior to this, Marchand had been posting regularly on his Twitter account for months and had recently been involved in a couple of controversies. He recently claimed on Twitter that players are not interested in attending All-Star Games that are hosted in cities such as Detroit and Edmonton. This sparked outrage among fans in those cities, who were upset by Marchand's words.

Only Marchand knows the real reason behind his decision to deactivate his account. However, the upcoming playoffs might have something to do with the decision. It is plausible to believe that Marchand wants to avoid distractions during this important stretch and focus solely on winning the Stanley Cup.
