You’re acting like Marchand hasn’t been punished (including for the hit you referenced). Of course he has a dirty history, he’s also been punished at length.
The double standard that dirty plays against Marchand are somehow excusable is hilarious.
Marchand had a ton of plays where he should’ve got suspended but didn’t. Once he started getting suspended he lost that benefit. He has a well deserved reputation.
It’s the same with Wilson. The league is going to be stricter with both. It can be frustrating as a fan but both players created this situation for themselves. If you want to be frustrated with anyone direct it at Marchand for being dirty.
To add to this Marchand has also created the environment where fans don’t care if he gets injured. Wilson has to a certain extent as well but atleast he will drop the gloves and answer. Marchand will hide, turtle or if he ever drops the gloves it will be against a non-fighter who he probably jumped instead of squaring up with.
