Marchand potential pass of the year

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Also, that “spear” was nothing, come on. Make it seem like a hard nut shot. It was so minimal.

 

[Rygu]

You have to watch that 5 times in slow motion just to appreciate how insane that was

Took me 3 views just to see how the puck got to Pasta.

That was all-world.

 

[Senor Catface]

There was a nicer pass within the 3 last days so no to the thread idea, BUT that was an incredible play that would feature highly on any Rock and Sock 'Em rap song.

It's the dangling in close to such precision that makes that such a nice play to me.

 

[PB37]

Toe drag, thru his own legs, controls the puck against two defenders, and makes a perfect pass. Incredible.

I love cheese.

Great read by him too before that. Read the play, clean interception to start the rush with speed.

Everything went his way start to end of that play. That was an amazing amount of awareness, skill and luck. Great play. Fancy

Very strong candidate for assist of the year.

The pass itself was a decent-amazing pass, but def not pass of the year.

 

[Neutrinos]

That might just be the best play I've ever seen

2nd for me.. behind his SHG against the Kings in 2014. He single-handedly stole Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, Jeff Carter, and Jonathan Quick's lunch money.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Sorry to **** on it but every time I see a wonderful play like this from him I can't help but ask: why does he have to do the other stuff? Because, he really doesn't need to. But he does. But he doesn't need to and on and on.

It is sport and entertainment. He truly has toned down most of the agitator act at this point anyways.

The Bruins are fortunate to have three elite players on this line.

Best agitator.
Best defensive forward.
Top 3 goal scorer.

Yeah, I was debating calling it set-up of the year

 

[Shocker]

Not pass of the year, but definitely competing for the assist of the year.

 

[CanadienShark]

So damn slick. As much as I hate Marchand, he's so damn talented.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Wowza. That was sweet.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I f***ing hate Marchand but that was unreal.

howndo three guys go chasing Marchand to leave the league leading goal scorer alone in front of the net

Hey now. He was the third leading goal scorer at the time!

Because you are not supposed to be able to come out of that with possession and make that pass to Pasta. Hate Marchand with passion but that's an unbelievable play.

In their defense, he wasn't the leading goal scorer at the time

 

[LeafGrief]

Holy shit

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Super sick play.

Also f*** Marchand.

 

[Over the volcano]

Well he is now - thanks to riding Marchand's coat tails

 

[StumpyTown]

Crazy how a 3rd round pick who was never a really prolific junior scorer could turn into what he did in the NHL. The guy must really study the game to be able to improve so much in relation to his peers. He's still a rat, but that's his schtick. Plays like this make me glad the league has a personality like him in the game.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

It's amazing the way this guy has gotten more skilled the older he gets. He was never a very high scorer in the QMJHL, and didn't top 60 points in the nhl until age 27. Now he's on pace for his 3rd straight 100 point season (pace wise) at age 31.

 

[missionAvs]

Late to this and wasn't expecting much tbh but holy crap this was slick. Unbelievable play there from Marchand.

My nephew, hates cheese... and chocolate too. In Switzerland, that is borderline a crime.
