Clear intent to injure, and not even remotely a hockey move.
Sounds like he did, but Montgomery told the team to not go after Bennett. Montgomery admits it was a mistake to not let his team go after Bennett.If it was a punch.
You'd think Marchand would have cried to his teammates about that and they would have gone after Bennett
Your bias is showing
LoL, they say that every year, it generates clicks
Yes, he has his moments when things get chippy, but you portray it as 100% dirty all the time. Your bias is showing.You think Bennett didn't punch Marchand in the face on that play ? Would you argue that Bennett has not made countless dirty plays in the past with the intent to injure ? Has Bennett not started throwing punches at opposing players before the opponent has dropped his gloves ?
I don't like to strawman like a lot of posters, so I am asking you before I say anything further.
Is spearing an injured player between the legs while they lay on the ice face down what you consider hard nosed? If so you an Bennett may be cut from the same unwashed cloth.I know who Bennett is, he’s a hard nosed physical hockey player. He’s plays with an edge.
I’m just pointing out the sensationalistic click bait headlines that are so prevalent nowadays.
I never said he was an angel.Is spearing an injured player between the legs while they lay on the ice face down what you consider hard nosed? If so you an Bennett may be cut from the same unwashed cloth.
Well the problem is when there's no disciplineIt's a dirty play but...You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Ya this is just idiotic. Initiating body contact means you can get punched in the head?Two things here: (1) Marchand initiates the contact. Sometimes when you f*** around, you find out. Whoops. (2) Couldn’t have happened to a more deservingratguy.
Forgot the best one
I will never understand how someone could have this mentality. Nobody deserves a concussion.Two things here: (1) Marchand initiates the contact. Sometimes when you f*** around, you find out. Whoops. (2) Couldn’t have happened to a more deservingratguy.
Marchand's head snaps back if you blink at him too hard when he thinks a ref is looking.I mean, it’s pretty obvious the right hand gets in there and makes contact. Marchands head snaps back before his body.
That’s epidemic around the league, with players from all teamsMarchand's head snaps back if you blink at him too hard when he thinks a ref is looking.
The NHL and its fanbases now represent countries going to war....or somethingMany statements within thread can be true at same time
If humans just used "Right -vs- Wrong" when judging anything, instead of using the..... "Who" or past behaviors. We'd all be better off!!!! If society is going to move forward, society should stop bias, hate, and using past behaviors to make decisions today. No matter, preventing folks from falling into classic tribe-mentality-mindsets would be wise stagey. This thinking includes sport$ world.
- Takes time, effort, and use of critical thinking to wear other shoes.
- Reflection without letting emotions/bias skew equation is a problem within sports >>>
- Bennett is dirty player >>>
- Marchand is no saint either >>>
- Not a fan of either player >>>
- But a dirty play against either one should not be excused >>>
- Both these players can have wrong done to them, no matter their past >>>
- If each action isn't treated on an individual bases >>>
- Situation becomes what came first, the aggressive chicken or the defensive egg?
- This is one of reason why I don't ragged on players like Kucherov, Crosby, or other stars who defend themselves like they do. Folks come down on players who get chippy (Especially successful star players, amazing how that works out isn't it?).
- But..... If star players didn't do these things, dirty players like Bennett would eat them alive.
- Every team/player has to answer fire with fire because this is the environment that's been allowed to exist.
- Just use right -vs- wrong, and not the..... "Who" >>>
- Or "Double Standards" bust into room screaming...... "I'M HERE!!!!!"
