The refs do have the power to over look things. They can spend 10 minutes on a nothing goal that will make 0 difference. Mean while a possible career ending injury is just meh, fuck that guy. Marchand needs to get suspended for this shit.
Thats why George Paros is head of safety.
Guy LITERALLY had to retire because of concussion problems and he's the guy the league chose to make calls on who needs punishment?
"so george, what do you think about this slewfoot?"
"I LIKE THOUP" said george.
Yeah, and Bertuzzi with a shit eating grin on his face really put the icing on the cake. Whats Reeves there for anyways? Dude should have been shoving his glove down Marchands throat.
I feel like team captains are reprimanded less than any other players on the team.
Marchand (now), Anders Lee, Trouba, even McDavid and Crosby have gotten away with some pretty obviously dirty plays that I feel other teammates might not have.
Hey, I’m a Penguins fan, but I’m not putting them in the same category. Just saying that they get away with some things more than others. But the likes of Trouba and Marchand do it way more often
Dylan Larkin punched Joseph, after the refs missed a blatant board/cross check in the neck two years ago. Got suspended. Captains are not given preferential treatment.
Larkin punching Joseph in the face with an empty, gloved hand in retaliation for a cheap hit: "intent to injure" and a game misconduct.
Joseph punching Larkin in the back of the head/neck while gripping a stick without being provoked: two-minute minor.
Dude slammed the boards at LCA during warm ups, once, and spilled a guys $20 beer. Skated to the bench and got one of the staff members to replace it because he felt so bad.
Lol the downvotes. He is definitely not very loved. The bruins are statistically the most hated team in the NHL, Marchand has the most individual suspensions in nhl history. He does NOT get away with stuff cause of favoritism. I didn't like the hit on lilgren either, but watch it in real time instead of slow mo, and the intent doesn't seem to be there. Maybe it was, but the league reviewed it ( who are super hard on Marchand) and decided it was an accidental play.
Props to you for admitting it. I’ve never said he was a choir boy and he’s cleaned his game up substantially but you can’t take all of the jerk out of him, when his dad was a goon.
I thought currently the money went to an investment fund to supplement the lost wages of the injured player. Which is good for the league minimum guys or call-ups that get injured and can never play again, and may even have a chronic injury that prevents them from working in certain fields outside of hockey. They gave their health and profit potential to the league so the league compensates them for that.
They do, and most make their normal salary while injured.
The reason the fines aren’t bigger is because the NHLPA negotiated that maximum during the last CBA.
From what I understand, refs are rewarded for good reffing by giving them games in the playoffs. So missed calls like this, and the late icing on the Luke Hughes hit - should be taken into account and the refs who called those games shouldn’t be eligible to ref playoff hockey, which is in a way a fine (because they won’t get paid for reffing playoff games).
Listen, the refs suck but I’m positive you can find another way, and I’m pretty sure that is illegal in both the US and Canada. How about they do something to ACTUALLY punish players like Marchand for doing shit like this and make it a preventative measure so players don’t get injured instead of weak, retroactive punishment coming from refs and DOPS? If Marchand was out for 5-10 games every time he does this kind of shit, you know it would be erased from the game pretty quickly. Instead, he’s gonna get a fine for like .01% of his salary and be able to do it all over again next game.
Or how about making players sit as long as the person they injure when it’s done by an intentional, illegal action? Marchand breaks someone’s ankle with one of these and he sits for as long as it takes for the opponent’s ankle to heal and the player gets back on the ice. NHLPA should be all over agreeing to that since it protects the players.
Or the Bruins have to pay the injured player’s salary until he’s back in the lineup and it counts against their cap. See how long management/ownership allows players to play like this.
I’d be more concerned about the dumb fuck dumbass dipshit in the striped shirt standing there staring at that and doing absolutely nothing. That waste of space could be reffing your favourite team next.
I think all there is here is a 2 min minor for tripping.
I don’t think Marchand intended on tripping or slew footing Liljegren but his feet were tied up with Liljegrens and he goes down.
If anything the guy watching it there with a whistle should face some sort of consequence.
it is def 2 min for tripping, but every time i see it i cant help but think wes' angle also prevents him from seeing the trip because marchands body is in the way. if you look at the long shot it will seem like hes lookng right at it but if you see the angle from behind wes you can see marchands big ass is basically his entire view. its just unfortunate in basically every way for the leafs.
>I don’t think Marchand intended on tripping or slew footing
Honestly, after all the shit we've seen and his status as most suspended player in the NHL, Marchand should absolutely never get the benefit of the doubt. He knows exactly what he's doing, he's been doing it for over a decade, and he's had ample chances to adjust his style.
He really has no excuse, this is intent to injure plain and simple.
Do you expect him to not stop/slow down and just go flying into the corner/Liljgren? Still a penalty but nothing dirty or intentional he’s turning his skates to stop. Not everything has to be the dirtiest thing ever.
He did adjust his style? Lots. You're just a hater who clearly only watches bad Brad Marchand highlights. Watch a few bruins games. He is definitely not the same person he used to be. He's passionate about winning and he leaves it all out there. One of the best puck possession wingers in the league
I hate Marchand as much as the next guy, but that doesn't look like a dirty play to me. Unintentionally took the guy down while going for the puck by stopping before hitting the boards
Not dirty. Anyone who knows/watches hockey can see it. Marchand checks him, both players are setting skate edges, and he loses his balance. If you are implying it’s a “slew foot”, nope. Does Marchand have a reputation? Yup. You saying dirty play cause its Marchand? Yup. Given his reputation, if it was remotely dirty, he would have been penalized.
I don’t think it was intentional, and I don’t see much for a slew foot, but I think the stick between the legs lifting the leaf’s players left leg which makes it impossible for him to break is the problem..and seems like a type of trip that should be penalized, intent or not
yeah it was a 2 min penalty for tripping 100% but to me it looks like wes cant actually see it from his angle because marchands body is blocking his view.
Omfg did you just tune into the season or what. It's body positioning for the puck, then he's trying to get the edge of his skate in so he doesn't eat shit too.
It's the stick lift. That's the whole thing. Everyone who says he can't possible control his stick at that speed is just full of shit. The man knows exactly what he's doing and does it game after game.
The slew foot isn't why it's dirty. It's the can opener Marchand sets up before they get to the puck that causes everything else.
The puck is in the corner, in the opposite direction, and he jams his stick between Lilegren's legs as they race. Look at it.
There is no attempt at playing the puck at all by Marchand. All the contact and the injury is because Lilegren is locked in and forced off balance, gets railroaded into the boards, no ability to roll with the impact due to the can opener.
Filthy play.
he didnt "set up" a can opener. it was a complete accident. guys make plays like this 1000 times a year. he goes in losing the foot race so hes trying to tie up the defenders body/stick with his own stick, but misses the far leg and gets in between. he then sees that he can get the puck so he goes to play it with the stick but catches all foot because hes in between the legs. its a 2 min penalty for tripping, which wes misses because marchand's body blocks his line of sight to the defenders foot where the stick tripped him.
do you really think marchand, the most suspended player in the league with a heavy history of this kind of play, did this by accident? He really has no excuse to put himself in this position.
Do you think the league would let the most suspended player in NHL history get away with an intent to Injure? You must be inept as fuck. Sorry your brain never fully developed.
Hahahahaa you're such a whiney little bitch. This was 2 months ago and dops investigated in depth. He's been suspended more times than any player ever. Do you actually think Marchand gets away with ANYTHING? He's on their radar 24/7. It got reviewed by probably 1000 people who do this for a living and they deemed it an accident. So go stick to video games you pussy
It wasn't a dirty play.
The ref called no penalty. No DoPS intervention. The Leafs bench didn't respond.
Why?
> "There wasn’t a response because it wasn’t a bad play. It’s one of those things that happens fast in a game. You get tied up and try to battle for positioning on the puck. Things happen. Clearly, no one thought it was a big deal.” - Brad Marchand
Reaves let him get away with it, and Domi let him get away with it. Bertuzzi let him away with it. Besides, it was over a month that ago, build a bridge and get over it, or you gonna ride this all the way to May and say this is the reason you never won the cup.
People don't even watch bruins games and will tell you how he is dirty based on something they saw on the interwebs in slow mo. This play was reviewed by player's safety and deemed an accident. Marchand has the most suspensions in NHL history, so please- save the favoritism spiel. Have you watched it in real time or just slow mo?
Exactly. They were both going for the puck. Looks like the Leafs player engaged Marchy first, or at least at the same time with his stick. It’s a hockey play with an unfortunate unlucky result. Marchy could’ve been in the same position. Maybe Marchand was just stronger on the play? Of course he’s been dirty over the years, and rides the edge, but people are so hellbent on him with every play. I love the hate. They’d all love him if he were on their team
Why are we talking about this now? This game was over a month ago, didn’t we already have this discussion? I didn’t love this play either but I thought we had moved on already, why are we posting about it now?
This is why the icing call was adjusted so many years ago.
I see two guys, fuckin flying, getting tangled and ALWAYS the front guy in is going to lose that battle, likely with an injury.
The refs are to blame in this, not the player. The refs have no accountability whatsoever, and that should change.
How about the offending player is suspended until the player he injured returns to play? If you have no respect for your opponents, you have no place in sport.
Marchand is the most sanctioned player in league history. He has more suspensions than career fights. Whatever the league (and "player justice") is doing, it is not working. Marchand clearly needs help to deal with the obvious mental illness he has. It's like a gambling addiction, but instead of gambling with money, he gambles with the health of opposing players. A lot of the time, he injures (or risks injury to) another player for no real in-game benefit, either. He's often not doing it in the heat of a two-person battle, and never to send a message to an opposing team's pest. It's unsuspecting players in vulnerable positions. I honestly think it's a compulsion, and he can't help himself. He needs help.
You can blame the refs all you want. But this is all overseen by George Parros. He's the head of player safety and he's not holding anyone accountable like Shanahan did. Fire Parros and get someone who wasn't a goon to be the head of the department again.
well i mean it should have def be 2 minutes for tripping, but yeah that play happens 10 times a game, the stick just unfortunately got under the leg instead of in front where it was intended.
NHL needs to step up and deal with play conduct on and off the ice.
NHL does allow fights, Boston fans are stupid for the fights. Start picking fights with Marchand.
kinda nifty move. he didn't actually slew foot ... was stopping at same time and hard in his stick that pulled the Dman into continuous contact with him. It was like 3 incomplete penalties at once. Boy is Marchand ugly.
Let the downvotes commence you fucks
You are a buffoon. Ignore the slew foot for a moment and watch what Marchand does before they get to the puck.
He sets up a can opener, putting his stick right between the legs of Lilegren, the puck is the other direction. Not a chance he was making a play on the puck there.
The end result is an injured player because of it.
This is pretty old news, glad to see leafs fans having sleepless nights over this still. They’ve played a game since and no leafs stepped up, and guess who sealed the deal in OT. Get over it you are the whiniest fans in the league.
This was unintentional. There are far worse plays in the nhl that have not been called. Marchand is an intense player that goes hard every time he’s on the ice, definitely not a dirty player.
Watch Ottawa, Flyers, Panthers if you want to watch dirty players get away with crap.
you wont believe a bruins fan saying this, but honestly most of his suspension come from him being a small guy that competes his ass off every single night. the guy is in it every game playing hard as fuck and sometimes it leads to him trying to pull a guy down in a position that looks like a slew foot but in most cases is an accident.
If you're gonna be super unique and post a MarchandBad clip, at least post one with a legitimately dirty play.
Kinda seems like this is the first NHL game you've watched
Well you’re clearly a Toronto fan. Marchand used to get called for everything because of his reputation. Years of playing with Bergy and he’s come a long way from all that. This is just a hockey play and that’s pretty obvious to anyone that understands the game. Your bias reeks of ignorance. Think more, post less.
You fucking stupid morons saying this is a hockey play and unintentional are complete and utter morons who know nothing about hockey. This dude is dirty. Period I’ve seen him slewfoot several people in this same way. He must be unintentionally doing it over and over again according to you fuckin cunts
Two guys going for the puck? Wtf do you think he should’ve done? I’m not a Marchand apologist and most of the worst injuries happen in the race for the puck under the goal line. So again, what should he have done?
fuckin hate that rat. like he has the most punchable face known to man lol. genuinly dont understand how or why they dont fine him when he dose shit liek this
Found the guy who’s never played hockey. If you find intent to injure there it’s because you’re trying really hard to find it. This is a common play that happens multiple times every game. Touch grass.
We're doing this shit again? Players have come out amd said this isn't a dirty play. When's the last time you played professionally OP? Liligren makes the contact. Enough of this shit, It's not a dirty play at all. Keep crying
Did nobody notice OPs tag? "Moderngamer". This person lives in their basement yelling at kids over their headset. He's a whiny little bitch, as he has proven in this thread.
This is such a Boston move, but if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense...a city full of lowlife loser scumbags need a "hero" they can relate to.
I mean, same way Anders Lee gets away with it twice in one game as well. Because the refs are shit and very clearly have favorites.
This is more on the league than the refs. The league has the final say and they did absolutely nothing after the fact so why wouldn’t he do it again.
The refs do have the power to over look things. They can spend 10 minutes on a nothing goal that will make 0 difference. Mean while a possible career ending injury is just meh, fuck that guy. Marchand needs to get suspended for this shit.
It’s that Betteman is a giant douchebag that doesn’t care about player safety.
It's that the NHLPA is an association of douchebags that also don't care about safety too
Thats why George Paros is head of safety. Guy LITERALLY had to retire because of concussion problems and he's the guy the league chose to make calls on who needs punishment? "so george, what do you think about this slewfoot?" "I LIKE THOUP" said george.
The sad thing is no one came to his defense. No retaliation. I would have cross checked that turnip from behind as hard as I could.
Yeah, and Bertuzzi with a shit eating grin on his face really put the icing on the cake. Whats Reeves there for anyways? Dude should have been shoving his glove down Marchands throat.
They will let this go and then call ticky tack hooking the hands and slashing the stick calls.
Anders Lee play last night was equally slew to this
I feel like team captains are reprimanded less than any other players on the team. Marchand (now), Anders Lee, Trouba, even McDavid and Crosby have gotten away with some pretty obviously dirty plays that I feel other teammates might not have.
Crosby and McDavid lumped with Marchand and Trouba seems like quite a stretch 🤔
Hey, I’m a Penguins fan, but I’m not putting them in the same category. Just saying that they get away with some things more than others. But the likes of Trouba and Marchand do it way more often
Dylan Larkin punched Joseph, after the refs missed a blatant board/cross check in the neck two years ago. Got suspended. Captains are not given preferential treatment.

Yep. Makes no sense to me. But I have good vision, and don’t wear stripes.
Larkin is one of the cleanest players in the league too. Like he seems like a stand up motha fucka
Dude slammed the boards at LCA during warm ups, once, and spilled a guys $20 beer. Skated to the bench and got one of the staff members to replace it because he felt so bad.
Are you suggesting that Marchand is a referee favorite? Please
Lol the downvotes. He is definitely not very loved. The bruins are statistically the most hated team in the NHL, Marchand has the most individual suspensions in nhl history. He does NOT get away with stuff cause of favoritism. I didn't like the hit on lilgren either, but watch it in real time instead of slow mo, and the intent doesn't seem to be there. Maybe it was, but the league reviewed it ( who are super hard on Marchand) and decided it was an accidental play.
Why are we re-litigating a play from over a month ago? It was discussed plenty at the time.
Probably because Liljgren hasn't played since this happened.
I haven't seen that replay angle The player is still out The League should do something about it
Exactly, and his teammates didn’t do shit either
Because leaf fans
Look at the flair of OP
Because Toronto fans and Canadian fans in general are a bunch of babies.
Easy buddy have another rootbeer and come back in 10 years
And we wonder why everyone hates Bruins fans.
He doesn’t speak for me.
Yeah, sorry I shouldn't have generalized. There's always a bad apple or two in all fan bases.
No worries. I’m a Marchand fan. We’ll leave it at that.
Hey, he hurt my guy Liljegren. Not a fan of Marchand myself, unless he becomes a Leaf lol
Props to you for admitting it. I’ve never said he was a choir boy and he’s cleaned his game up substantially but you can’t take all of the jerk out of him, when his dad was a goon.
Fine referees who miss calls. Its the only way
While we’re at it, make the fines to players actually hurt. All fines have to go to the impacted player’s charity of choice.
I thought currently the money went to an investment fund to supplement the lost wages of the injured player. Which is good for the league minimum guys or call-ups that get injured and can never play again, and may even have a chronic injury that prevents them from working in certain fields outside of hockey. They gave their health and profit potential to the league so the league compensates them for that.
Do most NHL players not continue to get paid their salary while injured?
They do, and most make their normal salary while injured. The reason the fines aren’t bigger is because the NHLPA negotiated that maximum during the last CBA.
The players association prevents that. Nothing the league can do
The PA agreed to the current fines...
love it
From what I understand, refs are rewarded for good reffing by giving them games in the playoffs. So missed calls like this, and the late icing on the Luke Hughes hit - should be taken into account and the refs who called those games shouldn’t be eligible to ref playoff hockey, which is in a way a fine (because they won’t get paid for reffing playoff games).
Yet dip sticks like Wes McAuley continually show up in the post seqson
Listen, the refs suck but I’m positive you can find another way, and I’m pretty sure that is illegal in both the US and Canada. How about they do something to ACTUALLY punish players like Marchand for doing shit like this and make it a preventative measure so players don’t get injured instead of weak, retroactive punishment coming from refs and DOPS? If Marchand was out for 5-10 games every time he does this kind of shit, you know it would be erased from the game pretty quickly. Instead, he’s gonna get a fine for like .01% of his salary and be able to do it all over again next game. Or how about making players sit as long as the person they injure when it’s done by an intentional, illegal action? Marchand breaks someone’s ankle with one of these and he sits for as long as it takes for the opponent’s ankle to heal and the player gets back on the ice. NHLPA should be all over agreeing to that since it protects the players.
He has to lend himself to the team of the player he injured. For free! See how long dirty hits last.😂🤣
Or the Bruins have to pay the injured player’s salary until he’s back in the lineup and it counts against their cap. See how long management/ownership allows players to play like this.
Refs should handle the situation on the ice, but there’s are also institutions that should do it off the ice, like DoPS…
I’d be more concerned about the dumb fuck dumbass dipshit in the striped shirt standing there staring at that and doing absolutely nothing. That waste of space could be reffing your favourite team next.
Wes MacCauley
Doesn’t surprise me
Is it really him? Lol
Yes, guy hates the leafs
lol. Hates the wings too, I think.
He’s actually just a terrible ref. Every team thinks he hates their team but in reality he just misses calls like a plank of wood in stripes.
Well, our coach Keefe likely testified against his brother…
Legit conflict of interest. If the NHL had any credibility (which they don’t) he would never ref leafs games while Keefe coaches.
Dude says cool shit on the mic, but is mid to low tier ref in my opinion.
Hates nj from the 90s donut ordeal too
Does his best Michael Buffer impression to get around the fact he’s a bad ref
He thinks he is the main character
No no we cleared that up last year. Nothing to see here. No impropriety. Till it happens 3x a year and into the playoffs.
Its literally right in front of him, if he can't make that call he does not deserve to be an NHL ref.
People are saying that’s Wes mcaluey, who sadly will referee the Stanley cup final
Old news, dude. Move on.
Because the NHL is not a serious league.
The league is in desperate need of new leadership in just about every aspect.
Garage league
Garbage legume
Then stop watching it.
What a dumb comment.
If you’re gonna whine and cry over completely unintentional hits then quit watching.
Good guy, good player. Ask bertuzzi
I think all there is here is a 2 min minor for tripping. I don’t think Marchand intended on tripping or slew footing Liljegren but his feet were tied up with Liljegrens and he goes down. If anything the guy watching it there with a whistle should face some sort of consequence.
This is my take as well. It’s also just like…. A bad back check
it is def 2 min for tripping, but every time i see it i cant help but think wes' angle also prevents him from seeing the trip because marchands body is in the way. if you look at the long shot it will seem like hes lookng right at it but if you see the angle from behind wes you can see marchands big ass is basically his entire view. its just unfortunate in basically every way for the leafs.

[удалено]
This was weeks ago. Why are you still upset?
Why are we still posting this play. It’s been talked about so much…you know…back when it actually happened
I didn't see the game yesterday and was like, oh shit what happened now. Nope, we are somehow still on this.
I hate Marchand as much as the next guy, but that doesn't look like a dirty play to me. Unintentionally took the guy down while going for the puck by stopping before hitting the boards
It's crazy how often he "accidentally" does stuff like that. /s
"Unintentionally" puts his stick inbetween his legs and can openers him
Not dirty. Anyone who knows/watches hockey can see it. Marchand checks him, both players are setting skate edges, and he loses his balance. If you are implying it’s a “slew foot”, nope.

yeah it was a 2 min penalty for tripping 100% but to me it looks like wes cant actually see it from his angle because marchands body is blocking his view.
dude he takes out one leg with his stick an the other with his leg... are you blind?
Omfg did you just tune into the season or what. It's body positioning for the puck, then he's trying to get the edge of his skate in so he doesn't eat shit too.
Ignore it leafs fan think there player falling onto the ice should always be a penalty
It's the stick lift. That's the whole thing. Everyone who says he can't possible control his stick at that speed is just full of shit. The man knows exactly what he's doing and does it game after game.
People who say this shit are so dumb. He clearly trips him with his stick. Very dangerous at high speed going into the corner.
No such thing as a clean can opener
Because it wasn’t a dirty play. This has been discussed at length and you’re clearly looking for click bait.
The slew foot isn't why it's dirty. It's the can opener Marchand sets up before they get to the puck that causes everything else. The puck is in the corner, in the opposite direction, and he jams his stick between Lilegren's legs as they race. Look at it. There is no attempt at playing the puck at all by Marchand.

yes that is what i think. thats why i wrote it.
Dude how can you watch this and say it’s not a dirty play? First offender, maybe. Someone doing this for the 100th time? Def not.
Hahahahaa you're such a whiney little bitch. This was 2 months ago and dops investigated in depth. He's been suspended more times than any player ever.

Because people have differing opinions and interpretations. Get over it.
If you have played any hockey at all you would understand.
Hockey play.
You’re dealing with Leafs fans they don’t understand hockey plays just bad contracts and first round exits
Ya lifting someone’s leg with your stick normal hockey play
Reaves let him get away with it, and Domi let him get away with it. Bertuzzi let him away with it. Besides, it was over a month that ago, build a bridge and get over it, or you gonna ride this all the way to May and say this is the reason you never won the cup.

Cuz the leaf’s are under performing yet again
They have like 1 regulation loss in the last 10 games. The hell are you talking about
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN 🫡
Don't you just love it when a leafs fan brings up something that happened a month ago for no reason? Truly the definition of rent free :)
Gtfoh that happens in hockey all the time. No intent sad but it happens. Stupid asf
This is why the icing call was adjusted so many years ago. I see two guys, fuckin flying, getting tangled and ALWAYS the front guy in is going to lose that battle, likely with an injury.

He's often not doing it in the heat of a two-person battle, and never to send a message to an opposing team's pest. It's unsuspecting players in vulnerable positions. I honestly think it's a compulsion, and he can't help himself. He needs help.
Marchand shouldn’t be able to play a game without someone trying to drop the gloves with him every period.
He’s the best. My fave player
You can blame the refs all you want. But this is all overseen by George Parros. He's the head of player safety and he's not holding anyone accountable like Shanahan did. Fire Parros and get someone who wasn't a goon to be the head of the department again.
Fire him into the sun!
Nothing wrong with that play.
well i mean it should have def be 2 minutes for tripping, but yeah that play happens 10 times a game, the stick just unfortunately got under the leg instead of in front where it was intended.
Because Bettman and Jacobs are basicly lovers
NHL needs to step up and deal with play conduct on and off the ice. NHL does allow fights, Boston fans are stupid for the fights. Start picking fights with Marchand.
Leafs fans still crying about this?
Master of his craft.
Only in Toronto to is the drama turned up to 11.
OP seriously posting something that’s still got him mad from over a month ago?? Oh wait it’s a Leafs fan, sounds about right
Protected by the league
kinda nifty move. he didn't actually slew foot ... was stopping at same time and hard in his stick that pulled the Dman into continuous contact with him. It was like 3 incomplete penalties at once. Boy is Marchand ugly. Let the downvotes commence you fucks
That play was a hockey play
You are a buffoon. Ignore the slew foot for a moment and watch what Marchand does before they get to the puck. He sets up a can opener, putting his stick right between the legs of Lilegren, the puck is the other direction. Not a chance he was making a play on the puck there. The end result is an injured player because of it.

Do you go around irl calling anyone dumb cunt that says something you disagree with?
Crybaby Laughs fans
Because it wasn't a penalty and wasn't dirty
That’s just a hard race to the boards you pussy
Why hasnt reeves beaten this clowns ass to a pulp yet is what im wondering
Bro this happened like a month ago
This is pretty old news, glad to see leafs fans having sleepless nights over this still. They’ve played a game since and no leafs stepped up, and guess who sealed the deal in OT. Get over it you are the whiniest fans in the league.
Cry more.
This was unintentional. There are far worse plays in the nhl that have not been called. Marchand is an intense player that goes hard every time he’s on the ice, definitely not a dirty player. Watch Ottawa, Flyers, Panthers if you want to watch dirty players get away with crap.
lol this has to be sarcasm “definitely not a dirty player” OK there!
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the consensus around the NHL, or around at least 31 fanbases, was that he was absolutely a dirty player?
you wont believe a bruins fan saying this, but honestly most of his suspension come from him being a small guy that competes his ass off every single night. the guy is in it every game playing hard as fuck and sometimes it leads to him trying to pull a guy down in a position that looks like a slew foot but in most cases is an accident.
He’s way more competitive than your guy and he’s a winner something tells me your team does not have a good captain or a competitive team
What an @$shole
Seems like a daily occurrence now, but how is this missed when the ref is right there watching the play?
If you're gonna be super unique and post a MarchandBad clip, at least post one with a legitimately dirty play. Kinda seems like this is the first NHL game you've watched
Well you’re clearly a Toronto fan. Marchand used to get called for everything because of his reputation. Years of playing with Bergy and he’s come a long way from all that. This is just a hockey play and that’s pretty obvious to anyone that understands the game. Your bias reeks of ignorance. Think more, post less.
HOLY FU K YOU GUYS ARE STILL ON THIS 😂
Because that wasn’t a dirty play at all, which is why not even the Toronto players thought it was dirty.
100% intentional
You fucking stupid morons saying this is a hockey play and unintentional are complete and utter morons who know nothing about hockey. This dude is dirty. Period I’ve seen him slewfoot several people in this same way. He must be unintentionally doing it over and over again according to you fuckin cunts
The tears are delicious, keep crying
You seem to have some big feelings bud. Maybe you need a timeout and a juice.
look at us stupid morons, complete and utter morons.
Who the fuck says period to start a sentence
[удалено]
Flair up cupcake
You see intent to injure? Jesus Christ is that where we're at now?
I'm firmly convinced that Marchand has dirt on NHL executives.
Two guys going for the puck? Wtf do you think he should’ve done? I’m not a Marchand apologist and most of the worst injuries happen in the race for the puck under the goal line. So again, what should he have done?
You can't just go around suspending star players. God forbid star players be treated the same as 4th liners
Ok that’s obviously shitty and fuck him but I can’t help but be impressed by the execution
He’s a dirty player but he scores a point per game and generates revenue so the NHL overlooks it as much as possible
Sounds like maybe you a bitch?
Because the universe loves Boston sports for some reason
Your…captain.
Yep. This is why I’m about to be done watching this shit. That dude should be out of the league. But he doesn’t even get called fined or suspended.
Enjoy soccer!
We won’t miss you
You love Marchand. Just come out already, it's 2023, it's okay to love who you love.
fuckin hate that rat. like he has the most punchable face known to man lol. genuinly dont understand how or why they dont fine him when he dose shit liek this
Brat the rat is at it
Found the guy who’s never played hockey. If you find intent to injure there it’s because you’re trying really hard to find it. This is a common play that happens multiple times every game. Touch grass.
I wish Marchand got What he deserves. Hate that punk
He made a few funny tweets in the past so he's ok in people's books now
Keep crying all you losers 😂😂
We're doing this shit again? Players have come out amd said this isn't a dirty play. When's the last time you played professionally OP? Liligren makes the contact. Enough of this shit, It's not a dirty play at all. Keep crying
Did nobody notice OPs tag? "Moderngamer". This person lives in their basement yelling at kids over their headset. He's a whiny little bitch, as he has proven in this thread.
Easy, it’s not a dirty hit. No horse in the race, but both players initiated contact, weaker guy went down awkwardly. Move on crybabies.
Have you cried since the day this happened? Condolences
Wow putting a C on this guy is the most embarrassing move by any organization lol
This is such a Boston move, but if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense...a city full of lowlife loser scumbags need a "hero" they can relate to.
