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

[Gentle Man]

But he said yesterday they didn't know it happened?

But today he is saying they knew it happened but it's his fault they didn't retaliate?

Or is he saying he didn't see it so it's his fault that no one saw it and Marchand didn't tell anyone that he got "sucker punched?"

Or what are we doing here? I guess eventually hockey game will break out

Sam bennett drives the speed limit

Based on other comments from the team, this is the answer.

 

[Gentle Man]

So the trainer in asking him what's wrong, and getting pulled due to the concussion, didn't ask him what caused said concussion?

 

[TotalHomer]

So who's going to match up against who? Who are the fighters on the Bruins? I assume Maroon is playing. Frederic? If we don't have lineup changes Bennett is the only real fighter on our team. Tkachuk can fight but isn't very good.

Defies logic that you can punch someone in the head during the run of play, concuss them and then not face any discipline just because Paul Maurice said it was nothing more than a collision.

With that said, this version of the Bruins is completely incapable of pushing back. Already struggling offensively with Marchand. I think this series is over in 5.

Lmao, yeah he didn’t face any discipline because of what Maurice said.

In all fairness, Erod gave him a face full of stick just before all of that.
Hockey happens.

Oh sorry, then it's because someone at the league office is in a coma. Maybe Sam Bennett took care of them too. Would be a shame if someone two hands him right on the knee cap.

Or maybe it’s because there’s no clear view of fist hitting face?

 

[pantherbot]

Montgomery is just an idiot. Even if there was a dirty hit there by Bennett, what benefit is there to be saying all this in public? Bruins aren't intimidating the Panthers, we already know that, and if the Bruins want to win a game they need to focus on hockey, not whatever antics they're talking about.

Then add on if the Bruins do try and do anything stupid, he/they are telegraphing it very publicly and the league will just come down on them with a hammer. What an idiot.

Does he want to actually win the series or try and injure other players?

Ah ok that must be it. Maybe Marchand got hit with a rat from the stands. Tough to tell!

 

[pb1300]

To compare that to what Bennett did to the rat shows how little you know about hockey.

At least that is what I have heard here already

Grasping at straws, at this point.

Idk what to tell you. Hopefully you are never punished for something because “it looked like he may have done it”.

I seriously can't believe this is your argument. Everyone with a brain knows what happened. Sometimes it helps to use logic. There is no other explanation for how Marchand gets hit in the head and concussed.

Someone tell Tkachuk to keep his family off the ice

This does nothing to refute my point. You can “logically” assume all you want, but you can’t “convict” without solid proof of the infraction.
There is no visual evidence of the fist hitting head.

 

[PaulGG]

Boston is really good even without the rat. Funny to me that Bennett is called out for a dirty play on the player who has a long history of cheap shots and dirty plays.

 

[TotalHomer]

Can I please see the reverse angle of this just to confirm it's a punch?

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Crap sake people. I'm really sure Bennett finally worked his way back into being able to play in a playoffs where his team has a legit chance at a Cup, then decided to risk suspension by intentionally sucker punching the other team's captain in the head.

Bennett knows how important he is to the team. He will be a key piece against NYR. No chance he intentionally concussed Marchand.

 

[swiftwin]

Let's check in on the Boston Bruins and how they feel about actually winning the series.

Oh, they're still talking about staged fights. Carry on.

Who said anything about staged fights? You seem confused.

He’s an idiot for sure. Just not in this case. He’s gotta say SOMETHING

 

[swiftwin]

Seriously, stfu.

Marchand was suspended for this. I'm not sure what your point is.

 

[swiftwin]

Does he want to actually win the series or try and injure other players?

It doesn't have to be one or the other.

It's possible to win the series by injuring the other team's best players, which is a strategy Florida seems to be employing.

Considering the league is letting them do it, maybe Boston should consider doing the same.

"And the Boston Bruins win all 4 staged fights today, extremely impressive. Final score, Panthers 7, Bruins 1. We'll discuss if they carry this momentum into game 5, as well as the Penguins playoff chances, next on TNT."
