Should Marchand be suspended?

[Spirit of 67]

Wait what? The league suspended Kadri for his absolutely ludicrous hit on Wingels, not for running around like an idiot. I get where you're going with this post but there is absolutely nothing in the evidence provided by the OP that points to a Marchand suspension and heck, I'm not even a Bruins fan.

I'm a massive Leafs fan and found nothing even worth a major penalty. Let alone a suspension.

But we have several of these type posts every morning. One player skates near another and people freak out.

I have visions of these posters watching hockey from the 70's and 80's like Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange.

Marchand is the best at making dirty plays look legit. The guy is such a *****e. He will get what’s coming to him sooner or later.



Is that the reason why he was completely a non factor last night and was more interested in going after Plekanec than playing hockey?

A 38 year old veteran, Plekanec and a 20 year old winger shut them down.

Every dog has its day.

Plekanec had one good game. After two more games he can do what he should have done two years ago in the absence of the $12 million gift the league's worst GM gave him. That is, retire.

You don’t see a whole lot of these theeads coming from Bruins posters

Marchand has proven time and time again he has zero self control on the ice.

At worst its malicious, at best it's reckless.

I don't care how many times you suspend him, this guy just doesn't get it.

How does Kadri get suspended but not Marchand?

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

Because Kadri's hit was dirty...these are just pest-like things. Annoying as hell, and if his tap to Andersen had been any harder, or if his two-hander connected with Rielly, there may have been a case, but nothing major here.

The collision with Johnsson really does look accidental and just unfortunate where it connected.

Butt end is extremely dirty.

I know many, many Bruins fans. Bruins fans are the best fans. No fans in the world better than them. They are fantastic people. Believe me.

Strunk and White called advising that you have misused the apostrophe.

Also, no suspension. Maybe a few penalties in there.

You, and Strunk and White, are absolutely correct. I should be suspended for two weeks.

Some of the delicate souls in this thread are stressed out enough as it is. For me to add to their troubles by thoughtless grammar is unacceptable. I apologize and will try to do beter (ha ha).

Didn’t mean to touch a nerve - just pointing out a little truth.

Agreed, but if you watch again he didn't really connect with it, it was more of a love tap. Look I'm also a huge Leafs fan and hate Marchand as much as any non-Bruin fan, but nothing in there was suspension worthy.

 

[Dr Pepper]

No. No he shouldn't.

It didn't touch a nerve, I just thought it was a silly little comment made to pat your own fanbase on the back.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Marchand needs to be punished. Polak needs to run this man since the league won't do anything.

 

[Critical13]

I think it's worth a suspension. Two hander to our guys hands. We could have lost our #1D for the playoffs over his temper tantrum.

I laughed.

Nothing suspension worthy, but I will say I think after this season regardless if he does something dangerous or dumb again. I think the league needs to sit him down and have the Matt Cooke talk with him, give him the warning to change his game up before someone else gets seriously hurt. And then if he does something dumb again give him a long suspension enough with the 5 game stuff for him.

Topics like these are useless. Rationality is absent on these forums. Furthermore, homerism is at an all time high.

Bruins fans are not calling foul here because its there own player. If this was a Leafs player or any team they were playing against, they'd be crying foul.

So remind me again what's the point of these topics?

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

lol this is a thread?

 

[MapleLeafistan]

But it was good to see that Marchand line frustrated. Credit to that Pleky line...hope they continue frustrating them in game 4. I suspect it'll only be a matter of time until Marchand does something stupid again. He was clearly not happy last night...maybe had something to do with Komorov not being on the ice. I hear Fins taste good.

 

[MapleLeafistan]

lol this is a thread?

Yeah...this is a topic.

 

[Bar Down]

I hate Marchand's dirty antics as much as the next guy, but let's be honest. There's nothing suspendable here.

(Yet)

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Is it just me or is the primary contact on Hyman's hit on Marchand leg to knee?

It's just you. Solid clean hit by Hyman. That 360 katana style slash attempt though..... That's another story

 

[Pilky01]

I can't wait for 5 years after Marchand retires and he becomes a "safety advocate".

Kadri vs Marchand is one for the ages. Epic battle between two complete rats. As long as nobody gets hurt I enjoy watching the both of them.

Yup, they truely are two peas in a pod. As a fan of neither team, it’s funny to me reading posts from both fans groups about the other team guy and how they slam him as a terrible human being, suspend him, scum, dirt bag, etc. When in reality the two players are really interchangeable as far as their dirty play goes.....Brad is better at hockey but both are dirty players. Just funny seeing each fan base being so judgmental vs the other teams guy. Entertaining
