How Lightning's Pat Maroon opened a body image dialogue that resonates

TAMPA, Fla. — Pat Maroon was taking a postgame shower following the Lightning’s 3-1 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday night when teammate Steven Stamkos approached and asked if he had seen a video circulating on social media.

“You’re probably gonna want to see it,” Stamkos told Maroon.

Bruins TV broadcaster Jack Edwards dipped from play-by-play on the NESN broadcast for 40 seconds to make fun of Maroon’s weight. He said that Maroon is listed at 238 pounds, but he’s had “a few more pizzas” since testing was done on the first day of training camp. “(Intermittent) fasting for Pat Maroon is like four hours without a meal,” said Edwards, laughing through the sequence with NESN color analyst Andy Brickley.
