I didn't know they were rescinded but am glad to hear that . Please tell the one on Smith was as well because that was also a complete joke.

On "Behind the B" Marchand and McQuaid visited the league "War Room" in Toronto (any NHL player is welcome to do so). They check every play in every game. They ran Marchand's two "dives" back for him, pointed out that he didn't dive (on one, you could hear the guy saying something like "it's obvious your skate caught"), and said both penalties were officially off the books. Which of course is important as they're now tracking dives and handing out fines.

It's possible that Smith's has also been rescinded, I don't know. They generally don't publicize those rulings.

who the hell are you talking to? literally one guy in the thread tried to argue that it wasn't dirty.

the first 3 out of 4 posts insinuate that it wasn't that bad and it's just a "Rep" hearing.

What I was getting it.

I'd rather Marchand play with an edge if the calls are going to be called against him regardless of how he plays.

Pleased there was no injury on the play, but there have been more violent slewfoots this season (Garbutt, and wasn't it two in one game? With already having a history?) that resulted in a 3 game suspension. At most this should be 2 games, but we'll see.. The league isn't overly forgiving to our little rat.

Ok thanks for the info.

no they don't

Marchand is just one of the dirtiest players in the league...Scummy slew foot last night... Love him as a player though...He needs to play his game without this kind of crap however.

 

[DitClapper]

Probably will get a 2 game suspension.

 

[SpeedyLazaro]

no they don't

Really, guy?!!??

Per NHLPS

I know the exact play they are talking about, but did not really think anything of it when it happened. No injury either.

LOL pure rep for him.

It was a stupid play but I don't think intent was too bad.

 

[patty59]

Wasn't even the worst thing that happened in that game last night. But whatever.

He'll get his game or 2 and it'll be the end of it.

this group plays MUCH better when they're teetering on the line, so I'm not going to **** on a guy for crossing it once in a while.

What I was getting it.

I was just trying to liven up the thread since 99% of people are in agreement.

Using my handy, dandy NHL - Bruin - Violation - Suspension converter. (NHLBVS)

I've come up with this;

If this happened TO A Bruin (not named Marchand) = Small Fine

If this was done BY A Bruin (not named Marchand) = 1 Game

If this happened TO Marchand = No Fine or Suspension

Since this was done BY Marchand = 41 game suspension and the maximum fine allowable

Not mine.

No question in my mind he should be suspended. I just don't know if the league will do that or fine him instead. Or both.

That sounds about right

He should get 2-4 games, somewhere in around there.

Did Brassard die or something?

What should Kreider get for boarding Soda?

Did Brassard die or something?

Just his willingness to go to the corners.

His ass kicked

 

[sarge88]

His ass kicked

All props to Kelly, but that was one of the times where you wish McQuaid or Looch was the closest to the play.

 

[David Krejci*]

Should be a game, if not two. Dirty play from a dirty player. I rolled my eyes when Jack and Brick excused it. God those two are unbearable.

 

[Sheppy]

Did Brassard die or something?

Nope, but he could have messed his leg up pretty bad.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Nope, but he could have messed his leg up pretty bad.

But he didn't , hopefully nothing more than a fine.

 

[SPV]

Any decision on this yet??

I think it was probably intentional. That said, no injury, no penalty on the play, players both battling for position. I think reputation gets him 2-3 games; anyone else probably just a fine or warning.
