Does Marchand get suspended for this?

[BruinLVGA]

David Backes got tossed from the game for this headbutt

Not much to it.

Brutal: slaughtered thousands of bacteria that were on that helmet, with that impact. Some folks in here probably swear they heard them scream at the last moment. Harrowing. /s

 

[BruinLVGA]

If it were Bergeron or Krejci hit that way, I am sure you would still feel the same way, right?

YES.

And they have been hit worse than this by the way. WAY worse.

 

[M2Beezy]

So I guess no suspension or fine? Thats good didnt deserve one just the usual crybabys whining...

 

[DearDiary]

Hitting hard =/= intent to injure.

Where did I claim anything like that? I said Marchand went way out of position to throw a hit, which he gave up defensively on

You barged into a couple of posts solely related to the supposed intent to injure, what am I supposed to think that you are making a point about, if not... intent to injure?

If you were not commenting about the intent to injure, what is your point? I can see for myself that Marchand went out of his way to hit Tavares.

So, by this logic, if you gently caress someone's cheek (with consent), I guess that qualifies as a slap? Ya know... Put hand to the side of someone's face... Then gently & slowly brush your hand on the cheek = a "slap"...

Yes.

 

[TrillMike]

Neutral fan. Didn't look. That bad to me.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Yes.

That is the most pathetic statement I ever read here.

A pathetic statement to an equally pathetic analogy

BTW, I don't watch much Bruins hockey anymore but I just saw the spearing or should I say castration attempt by Marchand on Drouin (last season?). What a punk. No respect at all for the game. If he's a target, it's not hard to figure out why.

EDIT: and I just watched the slew fit on Kronwall. This guy is your classic dirty player. What a bum!

EDIT, EDIT: and I just watched him go after some Senators' knee (Borwecki) with an intentional low hit. How is this guy even playing in this league???

You just happened to watch these all in a row, agenda much lol or obsessed and wish you had one of the best wingers and PK guys in the league.

Sort of gross the number of people defending Marchand for what looks like an intentional head shot.

The fact that one has to make an analogy to try to explain to you the difference between a real headbutt and a motion so slow that it couldn't have hurt a fly, is very telling. You seem to be all about semantics and sarcasm, but on the other hand common sense and logic don't seem to be your strong suit. If I was in your shoes, I'd be worried about that.

Fixed. Then they go on to say we all want this degenerate to goon it up on our team.

 

[Sheppy]

It was honestly a 2 minute penalty, even a 5 minute major was ridiculous let alone the folk coming in with their cardboard signs marching around looking for a suspension. The hit wasn't bad. Relax.

 

[Castle8130]

Marchand looks like a nasty Goblin or the son of a witch(not the good kind). Wouldn't be surprised if he was a satan spawn. Just came on here to shit on Marchand for being a nasty player.

 

[snipes]

Didn't seem overly bad

 

[Sigh]

Didn't seem overly bad

Change video to black & white, squint, should look like a suspendable hit now.

 

[3rdLiner]

Looks like a standard roughing. Tavares barely even got hit. No elbow, now decking into the boards, it seems like people with agendas making this out to be bigger than it is.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Neutral fan, I'd be fine with 2 mins for charging/roughing/interference (could argue any of those) - no games though, even if he was clearly up to no good the impact itself was minimal.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

God I love having Marchand on my team. It's so much fun to see how much he stirs the pot and gets HFs jimmies all rustled.

Read this post in this guy's voice

Another fan trying too hard in order to be outraged over nothing.

Glad I'm enjoying a grilled cheese while reading this whine fest....
