Player Discussion Brad Marchand VI‎

[Over the volcano]

It's telling that so many people are up in arms over this (fans, media, active players, former players) but no one mentions the head shot.

Or Krug being helped into the boards...

 

[Dr Hook]

Brad is no cooke and he has far more talent as a hockey player than either cooke or avery

I hope he stops with the lick.

Agreed he isn’t but I would hate hin like that if he wasn’t ours!!

McAvoy dove Lol, nice try

It should have been a penalty to both players, as is often the case.
McAvoy was definitely held, but he tried to sell the call way too much, and that's why he went down.

Clever narrative but a bit desperate

GTFO troll

McAvoy is way too strong to have gone down on that play...that is not the same as giving the puck away because he was held.

 

[Chief Nine]

He’s still alive?

I don't agree but I certainly gladly would have taken penalties to both of them on the play rather than allowing that goal to stand.

As a Bruin fan since 1972, I am as angry as anyone else that there was no penalty called, but I think Marchand's idiotic diving and other idiotic activities may spread among the younger players.

Until these playoffs, I have always defended Marchand, but, will not any more. He needs psychiatric help.

oh ya? do they lick rehab out there?

trash talk goes over the line sometimes.

 

[Save By Thomas]

Marchand needs to be shipped out.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Too much diving, Marchand against the Leafs on the shorthanded goal by Kapanan, and now McAvoy with a dive last night on the Stamkos tying goal. Marchand needs to be shipped out.

Yikes

He's a clown. We would all hate him if he wasn't on the Bruins.

Yep. I've said that so many times- I love the guy but if he was on another team I would despise him in Matt Cooke, Sean Avery fashion.

Agreed he isn’t but I would hate him like that if he wasn’t ours!!

BFD, I pretty much hate every player who isn't wearing Black & Gold anyway...........some just more than others.

I really don't think he's going to dive in that situation. Clearly he had the stick in there he had his skate and he had his left hand grabbing him. When you're going at speed if somebody and peed you in some way it doesn't take much to put you down.

could also care less what other fanbases think, if they are upset, good

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

There have been a lot of Bruins over the years that we'd all hate if they were on another team

Anyone who’d put up 8 pts in 4 games against Boston in the playoffs would be hateful.

 

[Kaoz]

This is where I’m at. People are overreacting. NHLers going off about how there’s no place in the game for this. No one says a word about Stamkos elbowing Nash in the head, though.

And I’m glad we’ve got a Pens fan in here. Can’t wait for the next time Mario threatens to leave the league when his team doesn’t get special treatment

The folks saying there's no place in the game for this crack me up too. Did they just start watching hockey yesterday?

Idiotic is the right word for suggesting McAvoy is partaking in the activities Marchand is known for.

Right.

Its happened once before in 100 years so its fine.

Anyhow, Tikkanen fanned on the kiss.

As much as I hate that this whole thing is still going on, I have to admit that I would love to see a Shanahan-style suspension video. "While the intent was there with Tikkanen making a clear kissing motion, contact was not made and no saliva was transferred. We are therefore suspending Tikkanen for 1 game."
