Brad Marchand jumps Lars Eller

[TD Charlie]

There are a good 3-5 punches landed before Eller drops the gloves. Eller clearly didn't want to fight. Marchand punched him until his choices were fight or turtle.

And he chose to fight, and got rocked a couple times. I’m sure he’s fine.

So be quiet next time.

I know millennials will never believe this but there was once a time in hockey and the world that you used to get your ass beat for being a punk rubbing it in.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

So yeah. Getting mugged is the appropriate response apparently.

Yes....

 

[Craig Button]

What a beating. That was amazing.

Yeah it was.
7-0.
I'm glad you enjoyed it too

 

[Master P]

I thought head shots were illegal?

 

[Gnome17]

So yeah. Getting mugged is the appropriate response apparently.

I mean if you act like a brat you should be ready to face the consequences. Fighting is still a thing in the NHL. If he covers up like that when getting called out he looks even worse.

 

[DFC]

Don't act like a classless jackwagon when you are blowing someone out and you won't have to worry about getting beat down by a midget. Reading some of this nonsense makes it obvious some folks haven't watched much hockey before. Just standard operating procedure in the game tonight.

If we were in 1974, you'd probably be right.

 

[CapnZin]

This is a good take to examine the down the line differences between the two types of hockey fans out there.

You say Eller said no to the fight so it should stop or not happen.

I say he said yes as soon as he ran his mouth after scoring a goal in a 7-0 game. Whether he decides to participate after that point is irrelevant.

Not sure there’s an in between with fans

There’s a difference in action though.

If a player mocks and does whatever... go check him, slash him a little harder, or whatever... or even better score a goal! That’s the best type of retribution.

If a player doesn’t want to fight... you don’t fight. That’s crossing a line.

The most famous player in this regard, who crosses the line, but never backs it up, is Brooks Orpik. He eventually started backing his actions up... but it leads up to stuff like the Domi-Ekblad incident, Thornton-Orpik incident, or the Emery-Holtby incident.

The league is trying to send a message, this is a good one to look at.

Gotta love the people outraged at taunting, but completely fine with assault.

The fight where lucic challenged him? There is no shame to losing to Colton Orr

Lucic bought into his own hype as the toughest kid on the playground. The second he faced a real challenger, he got his face broken and hid behind the ref pretty quick.

And there are a minority of Bruins fans who have that attitude. Chara sends a guy face first into the boards? "He dove! Z barely touched him! What a wuss! Old time hockey!"

Krejci gets caught in open ice?
"Despicable! What a thug! Get him out of the game!"

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

He is just mad because the Bruins are the Caps *****. We dominate them every game.

This is also true.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

taunting = saying yes to a fight apparently...

Anyways ask yourself not if that was clean or not, ask yourself will marchand get suspended if you think he will it was likely dirty and if you really think no, then it was not.

Also i think this was Ellers first fight..

Those "good ol' times" were actually horrible, and we have evolved. The sport should as well.

Marchand deserves a suspension.

 

[DFC]

He earned it. It may be 2018 hockey but it is still hockey. What purpose did it serve to mock the Bruins bench then trash talk as he entered his bench?

We can't have this in today's game. I'm not saying Marchand needs a lengthy suspension. Maybe just a fine. But this is the same thing as Domi/Ekblad, with the defense of Marchand being, "Yeah, but he deserved it."

Wrong. Lucic and Orr tested heavy blows for about a minute before Orr caught him flush and broke his nose ending the fight.

But haters gonna hate

 

[llamateizer]

Didn't like what I saw

 

[DFC]

So be quiet next time.

I know millennials will never believe this but there was once a time in hockey and the world that you used to get your ass beat for being a punk rubbing it in.

Yeah, and those times have been phased out. I know Bruin fans still long for the days of center ice muggings, but they're over. You have to catch up.

 

[missingchicklet]

It's laughable that there is all this outrage over a hockey fight starting over someone being classless. This stuff has been happening since the NHL began. Eller taunted the Bruins. Marchand fought him in response. Marchand got an instigator penalty and misconduct, as he well deserved, and life goes on. Looking forward to a long thread every time snowflakes get triggered over stuff that his been going on in hockey since its inception.

 

[AD1066]

Lucky for Marchand that Wilson wasn't around. Would've torn that nose right off.

 

[CamMac]

Hold up, Bruins fans, according to fans of other teams we are really not being classy in this thread. That is not good look for our fan base, because as we all know HFboards is a very prestigious website, full of serious content and is totally not just a bunch of fans shit posting.

As a Bruins fan I condemn Marchands actions and send my thoughts and prayers to Lars Eller and his family.

 

[LouJersey]

Taunt all you want. When you get your ass beat because of it then too bad

 

[RickP]

Sure, Eller should be more careful in a 7-0 game, but Marchand has no business doing that. That was disgusting.

So be quiet next time.

Bless your heart

Once someone starts complaining about millennials, it’s all downhill

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Eh. You’ll find that in every city

Doesn't make it okay, does it? When Kadri does his stupid stuff, it pisses me off. Fans that celebrate dirty actions are the worst part of hockey.
