wouldnt even get in the door
Its already been collectively bargained. Brad through his nhlpa already agreed to this process.

appeal and then if not remedy arbitration.
Thats it.

The fact Washington openly celebrates and defends the Wilson headshots leaves me wondering why the Bruins are relatively quiet with defending Marchand. Bergeron mentioned it recently at least.

Take the pay cheques and fat pension and run then I guess.Really disturbing though the way they handle buisness. It even feels corrupt

Back in Boston, Brad Marchand still waiting on Gary Bettman’s decision - The Boston Globe

Marchand made his plea for reduction Wednesday at Bettman’s office in Manhattan. As of puck drop, Bettman had yet to render his decision, according to Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy.
“I didn’t get any information from him,” said Cassidy, after noting that Marchand returned home soon after the hearing. “I think it’s at least a two-day process, and that’s why he didn’t stay here.”
Thursday night’s game was the fourth Marchand was forced to sit out for the swipes he took at Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry on Feb. 8.

In the unlikely event that Bettman were to peel two games off the suspension, Marchand would join the club in Ottawa for Saturday night’s game against the Senators.


Marchand is expected to skate Friday at the club’s practice facility in Brighton. He joined the team for practice Wednesday in Manhattan at the Chelsea Piers Sky Rink.
If Bettman simply lets the clock run out prior to making a decision, Marchand would serve his last game on the sidelines Monday with the Avalanche in town for a holiday matinee. He then would be back in the lineup Thursday against the Kraken for the Bruins’ first visit to Seattle.

If they are not going to change the 6 games, you would hope they would have the balls and spine to tell Brad.

Pathetic as expected.

Yep!

 

[Bruinaura]

I'm sorry, it's not like this is a federal case. I can understand taking a few hours to make a decision, but days?

What a farce. The entire process.

[the negotiator]

Balls and spine sounds like a new Netflix movie

clearly not characteristics of either the NHL or it's Commisioner

wrong thread

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Why is so easy to skate into the Boston's defensive zone . And once they get there why is it so easy to keep the puck in the zone by cycling .
Every team I see playing the B's looks choreographed compared to the Bruins. And those shots from the point in many cases create rebounds and extra time the B's line has to stay on the ice without a line change.

I’ll add one more question - why is this in the Brad Marchand thread?

 

[McGarnagle]

Meanwhile Tom Wilson kneed Laughton last night and no discipline at all. Imagine if it was Marchand, they'd give him 11 games.

This is what is the most annoying.

Many players get away with too much. If they all got called the same as Brad there would be many more repeat offenders.

exactly.
Which all starts with Marchands original 6 game suspension on Salo, which was basically a 2 minite minor for interference maybe.
