I totally agree. To those Marchy haters he does NOT deserve it.
agree that the double standard from the league is ridiculous, but Marchand has brought this on himself to some degree. That elbow on Johansson was disgusting and the Devils just did exactly what people here have been begging the Bruins to do for years.
The officials should do their jobs and call it evenly, but I can't get too mad at the Devils for giving Marchand some of his own medicine. And I get it, Marchand is who is his and it's part of his game blah blah, but I don't buy it. I can live with the antics, the licking, the yapping, even the slew foots and spears. That's hockey. Throwing wild elbows at non-physical players is a total dirtbag move and makes me sick. That's the one time Marchand reminded me of Matt Cooke and I can 't tolerate that as a fan.
So yeah if any other team takes a run at Marchand then as a Bruins and Marchand fan I'm livid. But if it's the Devils then I honestly can't blame them. It's just unfortunate that the league let's it slide because that's a BS double standard. Hopefully this is the end of it.
