All I want is some consistency from the dops. Give Wilson 20 fine, I get it, but this gets zero? Give me a ****ing break.
We're suspending players for fighting?

According to this tweet from Elliotte Friedman there is no suspension for Marchand and it's not even being looked at the Department of Player Safety.
Yes, finally.
Not to mention the Bruins have the most powerful owner in the league.

Domi got two games for blowing up Ekblads nose with ONE punch because Ekblad didn’t want to fight, Marchand pops Eller 4 times before he dropped his gloves and because Eller didn’t go down there’s is no suspension. Defending yourself against being punched in the face and actually wanting to fight someone are not the same thing. Eller didn’t want to fight any more than Ekblad did, only difference was that Ekblad went down easier.
If eller didn't want to fight he would have dropped to the ice and turtled and let the linesmen do there job.
He didn't.
He chose to stand and fight.
What's truly funny are all the Marchand haters in this thread who always talk about him getting his ass kicked over the stupid stuff he does ( like taunting) but yet he does it to someone who does the same and you ate still up in arms.....
Make up your minds....
Umm Eller fought, Ekblad had ZERO interest.I’m not upset about what Marchand did, or Eller. I’m pissed because Domi was suspended for 2 games for doing the exact same thing and Marchand got nothing. If they are gonna start handing out suspensions for punching people that don’t want to fight, at least be consistent about it.
Ekblad didn’t turtle, he got hit nose exploded and went down like a sack of potatoes. Just because Eller didn’t get hit in the nose doesn’t mean he Wanted to fight. What the hell would you do if someone was punching you in the face? Swing back or turtle like a little b**** in front of thousands of people? It doesn’t make what Marchand did any different, he hit a guy 4 times in the head when that guy didn’t want to fight.

If you want to be that disingenuous thats your choice, neither incident was remotely close to the same.
Obtuse much?
Last time, you are talking two different situations.
Umm Eller fought, Ekblad had ZERO interest.
So basically Domi got suspended because Ekblad has a glass chin. He was basically trying to do what Marchand did here.
Ekblad didn’t drop his gloves and fight. Eller did, or at least his throwing hand.
Like it or hate it, that’s the major difference between the two incidents from a rule book perspective. Marchand and Eller both got fighting penalties (plus Marchand getting the instigator and misconduct). Domi got a roughing penalty and Ekblad nothing as no fight took place.
