I don't know how else to explain this. They're separate incidents, Sissons' embellishment and Marchand's unsportsmanlike play. You can call Marchand the devil all you want I don't really care. Doesn't change Sissons' embellishment.
Wouldn’t something have to have actually touched him for it to be ‘embelliahment’?! He flat out pretended he was even touched never mind up high. HE is the one who should be getting called out and the fact that he isn’t shows exactly how whacked this new generation of fans is. Beyond ridiculous to feel that is ok in this game. F all you soccer folks who have no problem with this fake crap allowing it to seep into this game. Rant over.

You need to watch the play again. Then watch it again. Get a HD feed. 4K if you need it. He was contacted, at least on the shoulder. Maybe on the helmet but it's tough to see for sure. It definitely didn't warrant the reaction though. But don't out and out put out false statements.

Not too long ago every time the Pens lost 2 in a row it meant bad times for their next opponent.

Since winning that 2nd cup though it feels like they're only good when they're hot. Tonights game reminded me of the 8-4 loss to Boston last year after losing 2 in a row..

It's embarrassing to get outworked when you've dropped the last 2. Start caring more ffs.

Preds replay it looked like he got hit on his shield though the reaction was much too late to have been natural.

Lmao I've never seen someone so vehemently defend embellishment when they themselves admit it was embellishment.

Somewhere in the middle
But it likely won't happen. Much better odds he is in the locker room for a boneheaded stunt leading to an ejection.

In today's NHL you are probably right.

I'm old enough to remember when you tuned in to watch a fight and a hockey game broke out.

Folks make a big deal about too much stuff in the NHL these days, but YMMV IMHO and all that....and no I am not saying Marchand hasn't done some inexcusable nonsense when I say that.

Wild 33 SOG
STL. 9. SOG

And the Wild are a team who almost always gets outshot. If STL doesn't show some fight in the 3rd, then Yeo is on very thin ice. STLhas too much talent and experience to be playing like a cellar team.

13 games my dude. Good start, but let's check back in at game 82 before we try to insinuate people were wrong about the teams.

People are allowed to make topical comments. Not everything has to be commented on after all is said and done. Both fanbases deserve some good mojo, anyways.

People were saying that about Yeo two weeks ago. I think he’s bought himself some more time with the last few wins.
