[UPD] Marchessault apologizes for NSFW Instagram tantrum minutes after losing game 2

[swimmer77]

And this is what social media has reduced some folksies to. Splendid.

 

[PG Canuck]

in a previous post he suggested he harassed him in insta and got blocked. Also by saying he'd take the punch in the face he is also suggesting his willingness to go up to him and harass him.

You sure love to assume things.

I just found it hilarious. He wasn't racist or bigoted or anything other than pissed off and resorting to playground insults. What he should have realised is that, instead of just sensibly blocking the users chirping him, Marchessault now has to deal with too many to count nucks fans joyously flocking to chirp him mercilessly. He's going to have to spend quite some time in the bubble blocking people from his IG account.

He had no other choice but to respond to the time wasters and set them straight. I don't see what the problem is. You can't let things like this go unchecked or it could bleed over to his teammates and then everyones time would be wasted. Great leadership

it's not an assumption, it's a logical conclusion of your written words.

I wholeheartedly agree that you shouldn't bring someone's kids into any argument but the purpose of the trolls' comments were to troll him and get him triggered, which they did, very successfully. I don't think anyone in the right mind, even trolls, would shit on anyone's kids for real.

She said "they look like natural born divers, just like their daddy"

Still waiting to see the comment "attacking" or "shitting" on his kids

 

[Anisimovs AK]

If he doesn’t like people commenting on family pictures, then why does he post family pictures on social media where people can comment on them?

Well...uh...


Social Media is a double edged sword. Everyone forgets that until they cut themselves

I’m offended.

 

[Oilslick941611]

I’m offended.

you'll get over it.

i can assure you Canuck fans have no issues with him telling other ig users to get breast fed by their moms. (He did say that to another user btw)

 

[lawrence]

These guys are true savages. My gosh. Beauty m. Worth the follow. Check out their latest dive on the Dallas player.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Who gives af. People on Instagram are narcissistic douchebags anyway; he should have just not responded but who cares. This happens on a billion accounts a billion times a day

Bahaha

Beat one out before you text her bro

[illpucks]

Imagine HF had verified player accounts and he signed up here?

 

[Raistlin]

on one hand we have Marchessault telling ppl to suck on their mother, on the other hand we have these players standing up for a greater social good.

I mean, I love Marchy. Definitely a passionate guy that cares a lot about his team. But when people ask why he's not a frontrunner to be the Vegas captain, this incident is a better argument than I've ever been able to make. His passion mixes with emotion far too often and this incident, while cringe as f*** to see happen as a Vegas fan, did not surprise me in the slightest. I'm glad he apologized for it after either getting some clarity or being told to, but again, this didn't surprise me one bit.

Your reasons for loving "Marchy" is the same reason for Canuck fans loving Burrows back in the day. Keeping in mind Burrows never have dives as obvious or got into fights with trolls on social media, but yea, I can see why you guys appreciate a player like him.

The Knights have always been so milquetoast to me. Nothing to hate, even Reaves I can say "I'd love him on my team!" But this gives me something besides the refs to cheer against.

 

[MrLouniverse]

even Reaves I can say "I'd love him on my team!"

Please take him. He has recently taken a drastic paycut: only 3,500,000 USD/2 years, as a winger who averages under 6 goals/82 games; and, how can you put a price on those social justice intangibles?

Only if you take Eriksson. He's a steal at 5 million in salary, across two years even!

 

[deadinthewater]

Wow, that's embarrassing..

 

[Brazen331]

No doubt Marchessault will be taking more shots than usual next game and he shoots more than anyone else on VGK.

Granted, most of the shots will be low percentage but he will be firing away.

Yes, Insta and Twitter. 2 cesspits of the internet.. no wait. Of society.
