Series Talk: ECSF-Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins (FLA leads 3-2)

[Beezeral]

It’ll be coming out soon. Bennett actually punched Marchand with his right hand causing the concussion.

The hit happened 5 hours ago. If this alleged punch actually happened, we’d know by now.

Wat?

I’m only quoting you to post the video not give my opinion. Only slowmo video I see available

Reach of the century to call that a punch.

 

[Chaos2k7]

So does the league review the punch to the head that caused the concussion?

Looked like his shoulder, I am sure they won't announce exactly what it is.

 

[TD Charlie]

Reach of the century to call that a punch.

I guess it’s fine to disagree, but reach of the century is a bit much IMO.

My son and I were watching the game and it was so frustrating to see Boston repeating the same mistakes it made in the games it lost to the Leafs:

When trying to access the offensive zone - for reasons I fail to comprehend, they continually try to bring the puck in themselves, or make a cute pass to bring the puck in. It was almost automatic to see that the Florida D took the body and the puck never got in or never stayed in. I don't know why Boston doesn't shoot the puck in more often. They did a bit of that at the end, but too little too late.

Boston had a whale of a time trying to clear the puck from their zone. Same dynamic - too much one guy trying to do it, or make a fancy pass. Pucks were taken off the player in various ways very often. Not sure why flipping it out or banking it out off the boards was not used more often.

Blind shots, blind passes. Shots that were low percentage being taken that completely missed the net, sometimes shots were just stabs in the dark backhand shots, etc. Or backhand pass to no one in particular or no one at the target location. Just really sloppy puck management on both ends of the ice by Boston

Thought the exact same thing when I first saw the replay and it wasn’t until it was slowed down. Honestly, another angle could clarify.

 

[Coach Parker]

No, now I have looked at it and his should gets Brad in the back of the numbers and his right hand gets Brad in the head. I can’t find anything but that right hand hitting his head because it sure isn’t the shoulder of Bennett.

 

[Pogotheclown]

Bennett is a pos, not the first time he goes out to intentionally injure players.
Last years attack on kemp was horrendous.

 

[Coach Parker]

Just had to watch the 0:03 of that video. His head whips back and it isn’t from the shoulder.

Maybe the contact itself whips his head back?

If you watch it in slow motion his head definitely turns to his left in motion with the hand. If an opposite angle exists it would show a lot more either way.

He slid into the boards and seemed to reach for his shoulder after impact. They were checking his shoulder out on the bench. Maybe he started feeling concussion symptoms as the game went on.

Marchand initiated the hit

Kemp?

His head snaps left like he’s a Punch-Out character.

Could be both, I doubt they will announce it exactly.

No idea what the injury is. He’s been terrible but it’s not like they have a replacement. Nor will they retaliate

 

[Drugs Delaney]

I hope Marchand gets better soon. I'd like to have him on the ice when the Panthers win.

 

[Coach Parker]

It really could be just from the impact. His head whips back and unless they say something or another angle comes out it’ll have to be kept vague.

Literally stick in tire meme. Looked at the video a bunch , march turns his head before the contact that he initiated is made. And btw Boston , although on brand for the city, ur supposed to throw rats on the ice when the cats win, not trash.

[Chaos2k7]

Bennett drilled Pasta a couple times, once in the open ice, once in the corner, with more force than that Marchand hit, I guess he got him in a bad spot.

FWIW the boys in stripes didn't consider that icing either.

 

[BelovedIsles]

This is what I expected, get ready NYR!

 

[Beezeral]

FWIW the boys in stripes didn't consider that icing either.

Bruins have managed 31 shots in the last two games and you are worried about a missed icing call?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I still think Florida wins this in 5 games especially if Marchand is out for extended time. Swayman had his Cinderella run, he’s let in 10 goals in the last 2 games. He’s come back down to earth and looks very beatable now.
