Should Marchand be suspended?

[Lovedemfanboys]

4 dirty plays, 1 on Johnsson is iffy on intention but it's Marchand so he doesn't get benefit of the doubt and it really does look like he extended his leg unnaturally for just skating to trip up johnsson who had a clear path to the puck

Are you serious? Maybe take a break from playoff hockey

 

[torniojaws]

He has a nose for dirty stuff.

 

[MasterDecoy]

Yes. Forever.

 

[A1LeafNation]

How does Kadri get suspended but not Marchand?

What is really going on in the NHL DOPS? Do we need see more emails?

 

[BigEezyE22]

FYI: Kessel got a 3 game suspension for a similar slash on John Scott as a non-repeat offender when Marchand is probably the biggest repeat offender out there.

Not probably, he's faced supplemental discipline more than any active player.

Playoff hockey.

 

[BigEezyE22]

So Marchand is what it would be like if Sidney Crosby and Matt Cooke had a baby?

Only if that baby were delivered by hooking a winch right to the nose.

 

[PensPlz]

He's absolutely reckless. Those are stupid, reckless, dangerous plays. He plays with no regards to anyone on the ice. He has no respect for other players and their saftey.

He's a repeat offender.
He needs to be done for this series.

Only thing remotely suspendable there is the slash. But that is only really suspendable if he connects and there is an injury.

Look, it is a nice collection of dirty little plays. But dirty little plays don't get you suspended.

 

[Crosbyfan]

I would suspend him for the slewfoot on Johnsson, I see clear intent there, but it is not up to me.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

I absolutely hate Marchand more than any other player in the league

I voted zero

Don't be the boy that cried wolf with this bullshit

 

[jetsforever]

The answer to the title question is always 'yes'.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

You had me at should Marchand be suspended.

I don't need to watch any video to be convinced.

 

[SwollenGoat]

Leafs are a bunch of wimps. Only fitting Marchand bullies them. Nobody but Kadri could stand up for themselves. Marchand wouldn’t do this to a team like Tampa, Columbus, Pittsburgh, or Philly. Actual teams that would make him pay for it. Or most from the West for that matter.

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Van Riemsdyke, Reilly, etc. Bunch of softies.

Habs fans calling another team soft is cute.

 

[HFpapi]

The extent to which Bruins fans will blindly defend Marchand every time without question no matter what is embarrassing at this point. I almost never comment on this site but am here daily. Every single thread showing yet another dirty play by him is met by the same predictable comments with 100% certainty.

-He didn't mean it
-You're reaching
-You're just a hater and jealous he's not on your team
-Yeah but what about that dirty play by so and so in 1996?

What are you guys not seeing that every other single person is? I'm a Leafs fan and I really don't like Kadri and I would despise him if he played for another team. He's objectively a really dirty player and a bit of a rat. I can't deny it. You don't always have to be tribal. Was anything from tonights game egregious and really dirty if every play happened in a vacuum? Maybe not. But it's every ******* game with this guy, multiple times a game even. A slash here, a slew foot there, maybe a cross check to the head, a knee on knee for you, a head shot for you.

This guy is gonna end someones career no doubt. He's awful for hockey and a danger to the other 700 players in the league who are supposed to have trust that they aren't stepping out there with a complete POS human being who will injure you intentionally as if it's part of the game.

 

[Bedards Dad]

He wont get anyrhing, but it was a pathetic display from him last night.

The punch to Freddies head should have been dealt with by Polak. I hipe Marchand gets his, there's no room in the game for his crap.


The worst part is, he would be a great player if he stopped the shit.

 

[Durden Tyler]

vote 2 game, each of thoses video are boderline to me, but add them and you clearly see intent to injure all game long to me.

 

[SprDaVE]

The stick swing is 100% suspendable. You don't use your stick like that. The other videos are laughable though.

Should be 2 games for intent to injure for the stick swing. If Rielly gets injured there, everyone would be talking differently, which is absurd. The even more laughable part here is that Rielly also got penalty.

I can't imagine how much they'd be crying if Kadri swung his stick like that.

 

[SoVi3t]

A lot of his shit in the game last night was just dirty hockey. Not happy about it, but it's allowed.

The attempted slash though could have easily injured a player, no idea how he doesn't get at least a game for that though.

 

[3rdLiner]

Desperately pathetic reaching. Enjoy your win don't embarrass yourselves in the process.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Nothing in there is suspension worthy but man he can d-bag it up with the best of them.

A 2 handed 180 swing with your stick isn't suspendable in which universe?

You don't do that unless your attempt to injure someone. It isn't to defend himself or to say hello.

 

[joe dirte]

just dress martin and tell him to end the little weasels career already. nose first into the boards bend that thing so far sideways hes smelling his own ass all day!

I dont know if i would go that far. but they should be accidentally diving at his knees, slashing, etc. him, but more importantly Bergeron and pastrnak. they were knocking them around last night and they were thrown completely off their game. bergeron and pasta are soft as butter and marchand gets so rattled he will get suspended.

 

[varano]

not even comparable to kadris suspension. Marchand is a pest and can be stupid but kadris rampage that night was pathetic.

also no, nothing even close to suspension worthy here.

lolol Rampage.

He clearly lets up on it and lowers the swing at the end. If he wanted to slash Reilly, I'm sure he could have.
