Post-Game Talk: Deserved it?!?!?!? Bruins-3, Penguins-2 (Mod Warning #14)

[Frank Gallagher]

Meh. All I have to say is **** the Bruins and their fans.

I understand why people don't like Marchand, but face it.. if he was on this team people would love the guy. What I want to know is, whereTF is our Marchand? I thought we had one in the making with Uher / Kuhnhackl? Instead of playing Engo at F maybe we ought to give one of these kids a few games? NAHHHH!

I'm not sure where you got that idea about Kuhnhackl, but that's not his game. Uher maybe, but Bobby Farnham is probably the biggest pest in the system. I don't think Kuhnhackl or Uher are really ready. Especially not Kuhnhackly with his injury issues. Farnham I think transcends levels (and may in fact be God) and might just be able to translate his game (skate real fast, hit things, get beat up once or twice per game) to the NHL pretty fast.

I can honestly say that I would never root for a player like Marchand to succeed regardless if he was on my favorite team or not. If he played for the Pens, my feelings towards him would be similar to TTEoT's towards Dupuis. I hated when Cooke would deliver a cheapshot, but those were always somewhere within the game, often just a little late. Marchand has absolutely no respect for any other player's safety with his repeated spears to the groin away from the play, slewfoots, and boardings. He is simply an abomination of a human being which does little to distinguish him from many of his team's fans.

I liked Fraser's article till he said this:

"It took a complete buy-in and education of players, coaches, and referees to change the negative culture of "obstruction" following a return from the first lockout season."

I think they need a new buy-in and reeducation, at least for the last two periods of the game.

I agree with this completely. The Penguins could certainly use a pest. Not a rat.

Not sure of anyone else saw some of NHL tonight on NHL network but man do I feel dumber for having listened to Kelly Chase try and justify what Thornton did.

Welp.. let's move to the next step - suspensions. Thread is up.
