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.
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.
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.I'm all for put your money where your mouth is, but do we know what was said by Eller?
