Marchand is such a shitbag.

 

[FMichael]

Looks to me like Marchand jumped, or suckered him.

 

[LSCII]

You act like a clown and taunt an entire bench celebrating a meaningless goal, you have to expect someone is going to come after you. Eller got what he deserved, Marchand's dirtbag history aside. That was a good old fashioned hockey play. Guy mouths off, opposing team answers by shutting guy's mouth for him.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

That was satisfying seeing Eller get manhandled by a guy a foot shorter than himself. When you play with an edge like Eller you should at least learn the basics of fighting.

 

[Groo]

If you can't send the crowd home buzzing about a win
You send them home buzzing about a fight

Reminds me of this:

Looks nothing like what happened last night. Unlike Girardi, Eller should have known he on the Bruins radar afer having words with the bench minutes before.

Marchand was right in front of him the entire time.

Eller plays with an edge? !

There better be a suspension incoming because thats worse than Domi.

 

[ModryJazyk]

true, it was unfair from Marchand but Eller asked for it with his stupid goal celebration in front of Bruins bench.

I'm all for put your money where your mouth is, but do we know what was said by Eller? To me it looked like his little fist rolling was directed at his own bench, not that of the Bruins...on the other hand, celebrating the 7th goal in a blowout is kind of tacky.

Yeah I agree, Boston overreacted and Eller has been around long enough to not celebrate a 7-0 goal

I don’t like Ellers celly on the goal but I don’t believe it warranted a beating. I’m a typical old school hockey player and I love to chuck the knuckles but a guy has to do more than that to justify jumping him like Marchand did. I think, and I’ve been there myself, Marchand just lost his cool what with the Caps hammering Boston all night, and he over reacted.

Marchand's a talented hockey player with the (on-ice) social intelligence of a goal post. He's been able to walk that fine line that for whatever reason (I'm thinking Chara) that hasn't put him in serious harm's way.

You're completely on point. Eller chirped a nothing-burger. That's it. What Eller does in a game happens all the time and no one gets jumped. What I think is going on is Marchand, picking his ready little greasy spots as he so expertly does, didn't go because of Eller per se. I think the game obviously had an effect, but what I think it was really about was Marchand conveying an image to manage the garbage he pulled in the playoffs.

Got December 6th circled.

 

[Sheppy]

What's happening on December 6th? What do you figure Tampa will do? lol

 

[Bondurant]

I'm finally getting around to seeing this. Ellers knew what he was getting into. Not sure what the fuss is about.

 

[sr edler]

When you play with an edge like Eller

What.

 

[LSCII]

Oshie saying this was worse than what Wilson did is probably the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Yeah, a blindside cheap shot to an unaware player is the same as facing off and tuning up a dude that was running his mouth. f***ing ridiculous.

 

[roflstomper]

oooof Eller got that ass beat.

 

[The Professional]

In what universe is this worthy of a suspension? People on the main board are unbearingly whiny. And soft. My goodness. Marchand forced the issue and instigated a fight. Big f***ing deal. He gave Eller time to defend himself and Eller did, it's not like he turtled or ran away. And Marchand then hammered him. Just because it was a one sided beating doesn't mean there needs to be any supplemental discipline. This was an instigator penalty and that's it. Hockey fans are just bleeding hearts these days. Any bit of rough stuff and they cry for fines and suspensions. Get over it. Hockey is a violent game ok? Things like this happen. If the caps have a problem with this, then they can deal with it themselves next time they play Boston.
