Lol I don't mind Marchand's play at all, his gutlessness permeates the entire team and is one of the main reasons I can safely buy tickets for any Caps Bruins game knowing the caps will comfortably win and the Bruins will do something stupid.
Obviously you're a stat watcher and think that's all there is to hockey (unless it's Lars Eller putting up the stats, then they don't count, who cares about his 7 points in 7 games against Tampa put up as a shutdown C), but yeah, a bunch of grown ass men battling for every inch of the ice will get demoralized when one of them is running around trying to prove that he's the biggest ***** in the building. There's your "secondary scoring" and "goaltending". If Wilson was pulling the same antics the caps wouldn't be winning anything except facepalm contests.
