Did Marchand get punched or wrecked clean? (MOD NOTICE post #175)

[Widdlez]

Marchy has injured several players with dirty hits, that's why no one cares.

Yeah I know. Eye for an eye and all, a famously good system at all loved for its fairness.

When marchand injured other players i just baseline thought that was bad, i didn't have to go through a flowchart to decide if actually maybe they were bad people before deciding if it was bad, because i have principles.

Only video I can find so far, I can’t really tell so I figured I’d post it. Even if it is a punch it seems hard to prove it was calculated/intentional.

Marchand coming in late and getting what he deserves.

 

[Ezekial]

I see Marchand hitting center chest causing his right side/arm to keep moving forward.

Yea that's what you want to see, but in reality his arm is extending while there is space between them and it's clearly visible in that gif. Willful ignorance I guess. Enjoy the bliss.

Here's a question that I don't think anyone has stopped hyperventilating long enough to ask,
if they have then I missed it(sry):

Has anyone asked Marchand what he thinks happened?

And no, I don't give a s**t what Montgomery says, he's going to defend his player/team(as he should).

Genuinely, anybody heard anything from him?

 

[JianYang]

Probably need a better angle. It's usually difficult to give Bennett the benefit of the doubt too with his history.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Dude’s bearing down on you as you ice the puck and you have the presence of mind to go for a sneaky head punch whilst absorbing a check? Impressive athleticism to pull that off.

Bennett Is now my favorite player in the playoffs

It’s easier to fight for principles than live up to them.

Bruins should use the same tactics in game 4. Fire w/fire.

They said that for game 3, I am sure it gets chippy at the end of games, but no one is going to risk a game on some stupid shit while the end result is still in question, at least the Panthers won't.

Running around trying to get revenge only exacerbates the issues for Boston.

Without a clear angle, what is the other option, suspend him on a maybe?

Sam Bennett is an NHL centre and one of the toughest fighters in the league - I’m sure he has the athleticism to make it happen.

Who said that?

 

[BB79]

If the league won’t do anything about it, the Bruins should take matters into their own hands

I'm a big fan of fight fire with fire. Game 4 should be a try to win though. If not, game 5 should just be an all out shit show.

He’s injured…it would be inappropriate to ask him at this point.

Second, he most certainly wouldn’t give a truthful answer to beat reporters anyway

 

[Chaos2k7]

I am asking you, what you think should happen? You are saying its hard to give the benefit of the doubt, ok, what's a solution then. People are pretty fired up DoPS has said no fines or hearings...

 

[BB79]

Yeah that’s a punch alright.

Welcome to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs - quarter got left in the first.

Ok, time to tape shanks to our sticks and have snipers in the rafters. No quarter!!

 

[Mike C]

What is the issue? Punch? Where?

Nowhere

 

[JianYang]

I am asking you, what you think should happen?

If we are talking about suspension, then I don't think you can based on that angle.

Uhhhh, what?

You're probably absolutely right about the 2nd part, but the 1st part....

If a sneaky dirty play on a famously sneaky dirty player in the second round of the playoffs is too much to handle, there’s a basketball game on right now that might be more your speed.

People realize the slow motion replay was not in real time right? He dumped the puck, saw Marchand and braced for the hit in less than a half second.

 

[Mike C]

Dislike the Bruins and Marchand a lot, it’s a dirty play by a dirty player who’s done the exact same thing before and knows what he’s doing. (Pretty strange you can’t refer to past incident imo, but digress)

If the league won’t do anything about it, the Bruins should take matters into their own hands

Don't think it matters. Florida thrives on that type of agitation and probably have the edge when the going gets rough and tumble.

Scrape him up and LET'S GO

Whats that story about the goose and the gander again?

That's true. But it's also possible that teams simply haven't really pushed far enough against Florida. I don't see how Florida benefits from having one of their star players injured and removed from the playoffs.
