Marchand Refuses to fight Against Eller

[Howie Hodge]

It's the new NHL, get over it.

And this is coming from a Dinosaur like myself who hates the lack of accountability in today's game.

Too many things that are just not "code" anymore to dwell on them.

Enough on this, I need to go yell at the clouds tonight also....

 

[cliffclaven]

Marchand is smaller and a lot more talented than Eller. Why bother fighting him?

Sarcasm, hopefully.

 

[Rich Nixon]

This is one of the very few times he's been challenged and not responded

wait what

 

[Mantis]

Where is the turtle? What a stupid thread title.

 

[Beville]

It’s not even surprising...

And all these people saying “oh leave it for the end of the game”... well you won’t gain any momentum from that will you? Highly doubt that’s going to affect the game, it was the middle of the second pretty much a perfect time to fight but shock, Brad the Rat didn’t want to account for his actions.

If asking for having a set is being a “dinosaur” then I’m right there with you. Marchand is a rat, and a pos. Perfect player in the new league.

where's the lie? I'm no Bruins/Marchand fan, Eller has 5 inches and like 25 pounds on him, and Marchand is a much better player. he shouldn't waste time in a fight or risk getting hurt

Uhh.. when you jump someone in your last meeting, when they ask you to drop them, you drop them unless you’re a gutless rat. Funny how Marchand had no problems “fighting” Eller last game. He’s a gutless puke.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

No surprise. He ran like a bitch from Tyler Bertuzzi earlier this year.

Unless its an unsuspecting Eller who isnt ready...then Marchand will jump right in there eh....

Marchand didnt seem to care about the 5 inches and 25lbs eller had on him then that your salty about

that was dumb and worth criticism, I agree. this wasn't

nobody's ever accused Marchand of being brave, but fighting would still have been pretty pointless.

And this is exactly why the nunhl sucks.

because skilled players are free to play their game without wasting time with lesser players? this is the best hockey has been in a while

 

[member 151739]

No player should be expected to fight or forced to fight.

Just get rid of fighting altogether.

It’s always amusing to see Bruin fans simultaneously celebrate Big Bad Bruins tough old school hockey yada yada the code yada yada ... while trying to rationalize the actions of the leagues biggest cheapshot artist face-licking turtling rat while wearing their uniform.

I don’t think you’re new to the game but your posts on this subject read like you are. . .

Then stop acting tough and doing shit to goad your opponents.

Marchand shouldn’t have jumped Eller in the last game then. Answering the bell is called having a set. Eller shouldn’t have been forced to fight either. I guess when someone throws their gloves off and starts wailing away like Marchand did last game, you should just accept getting your head cut open.

“Fans” like yourself are why the league is losing money and actual fans every year.

Nah. There's no emotion to the game any longer. We used to have great hockey plus everything else.

Not even close.

well it's not the greatest ever, but it is better than it's been the last few years at least

 

[Sniper99]

Or wait till Eller turns his back and he'll get sucker punched.

Hes a licker not a fighter
