Brad Marchand dive

[Arthur Morgan]

Wow, Leafers are really clinging to this one lol. You stole a 'W' just be happy and let it go lmao

Id say they earned that win but whatever you say lol

"Salty" lmao. I've got 0 drive in this game. Just calling 'em as I sees 'em as a neutral and unbiased fan of the game.

so as a fan of the game, you enjoy seeing players dive to get the penalty? are you also a soccer fan?

 

[Strangle]

Should’ve been an embellishment penalty

You have to think this is embarrassing for the refs. Might lead to a frustrated bruins team who stop getting calls for awhile

 

[Oddbob]

1 game suspension for blatant flopping. Grabs the wrong leg which is just sad. Making the ref that called that look bad, which is why it should, (BUT WON'T) be a suspension or fine.

 

[Peasy]

Pathetic display by a respected "leader"

Bergeron or Chara would never.

 

[Over the volcano]

That's some dirt by Bertuzzi

Hacking Marchand away from the play and after the whistle has obviously been the Toronto game plan since their last regular season meeting.

 

[bobholly39]

I hate Marchand but that is hilarious lol

Hope he gets suspended

 

[The Management]

Marchand can be such an effective player, but this is so blatant that I really don't think this helps his team in the long run. You're the captain of the Boston Bruins, have an ounce of pride.

 

[tfwnogf]

Surprising, marchand never does stuff like this. Ever.

 

[ToDavid]

The gall to then get up and cry about not getting a 5v3 off that.

It was a gift that they even kept Marchand out of the box to play the power play.

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

He clearly grabs the same leg that Bertuzzi slashes. Sure, still a dive, but why is everyone saying he grabbed the wrong leg?

You know, sometimes I think HFBoards is actually just a continual experiment run by researchers in the psychology department of some major university and this right here is study of what happens when a Rorschach test meets the Mandela effect.

 

[BB79]

It's a pathetic play. (Dive) It deserves to be talked about .

Player embellished a play to try to get a powerplay. This is the first time it's ever happened in the playoffs. Stop the press!

 

[jfhabs]

Hockey is becoming soccer/basketball

 

[Subbanned]

Wow, Leafers are really clinging to this one lol. You stole a 'W' just be happy and let it go lmao

I think any objective hockey fan here can see the blatant embellishment here by the Bruins captain. Even if we are watching the playoffs with no rooting interest this sort of garbage is embarrassing

 

[Peasy]

Player embellished a play to try to get a powerplay. This is the first time it's ever happened in the playoffs. Stop the press!

Not the first time and wont be the last. But its hilarious seeing the Bruins go from Bergeron and Chara leading them to Marchand with his classless antics.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Embellished yes, but how about don't be an idiot and slash people on the back of the knees.

This. I couldn't believe the lack of awareness of the game situation by the Leafs. They were up with only like 5 minutes left. Not the time to take gratutious penalties to show how tough they are.

 

[Buck Naked]

Haha, I was just thinking the same this morning when I saw the clip in the OP. What the hell is happening in here?

 

[ToDavid]

Meh, you're slashing Brad Marchand in the back of the knee after the whistle, you know the risk you're taking. Bertuzzi has rocks for brains and got a penalty because of it.

The Bruins were already getting a power play from Lyubushkin. The Coyle penalty was just a made up offsetting call for Bert because the refs are too cowardly to call the offsetting dive against their buddy Marchand. Bertuzzi knows exactly what he's doing, getting a free shot in when you know the refs aren't going to make it a 5v3.

 

[bigdog16]

The better team won tonight . Brand new series . Embarrassing leadership there.

To be fair its pretty embarassing leadership on boyh sides of this series

 

[Pi]

Grabs the knee of the wrong leg when he’s given a love tap on the back of the other leg and then cried to the refs to want a 5 on 3.

Marchand is evolving like a Pokémon. He’s not just a rat now. He’s a diving rat.

 

[TD Charlie]

He helped it along for sure. Tavares caved himself in on the Grzelcyk penalty. Both captains just selling their way into our hearts and I don’t like it

 

[Notsince67]

So soft. What happened to the Bruins?

 

[Number8]

Should he receive a fine for this? He even grabs the wrong leg lol

OK, for you and all the people who think he's grabbing the wrong leg......

You might want to watch it on something larger than your phone. All this "derka derka he grabs the wrong leg" makes you look like total idiots.

He gets hacked in the back of the knee/calf on his left leg. Goes down and grabs his...... wait for it.......... left leg.

 

[kevsh]

There is a career as a soccer player waiting for him once he is done…

 

[TD Charlie]

He clearly grabs the same leg that Bertuzzi slashes. Sure, still a dive, but why is everyone saying he grabbed the wrong leg?

Because it’s Marchand and it’s fun to pile on. I get it. Doesn’t bother me. I’d be less annoyed with him if he put the team on his back and came out with a series win, but instead we get this

 

[hatterson]

Yes Marchand dove (or embellished), it's what he does. Bertuzzi has to be smarter than to give him a chance to do that.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The refs had already called an even up on the play for how absurd Coyle reaction was, it was highly unlikely they'd call two on the same play.
