Same Play! (Marchand on Vancouver)

Does everyone remember Marchand hitting Salo, where he was protecting himself? I watched Game 4 of the SCF 2011 today.

Go to 8:40 of the video and watch. The player streaking into the Canucks zone is Marchand, and he almost takes out Daniel's head. On top of horrible officiating to make the game worse for Canadian teams, the lockout happens?

This is so sad. My parents are always telling me of hockey before the 2004-05 season, when I was just 4 years old. In my recent memory, I can't remember one game where I haven't yelled at the TV, or been mad with Gary Bettmann. Resolve the lockout soon, NHL and PA. I'm a die-hard fan you don't want to lose, but you seem to be trying really hard to doing so. All areas of the sport are now bogus.

The officiating was abysmal in the finals. Marchand should have been suspended almost immediately for his play. Rome gets 4 games for running over Horton, but Marchand gets away with almost killing Daniel? There was no excuse for how badly that series was handled by the officials and the NHL's lack of discipline.

So much puzzling officiating that series. I've come to terms with it though, what's done is done, the NHL got what they wanted. I'm sorry, but hacking a guy in the back of the legs with your stick should always be a penalty but Boston didn't get called on it once and off the top of my head I can remember at least 10+ cases of that happening. Yet we were the Villians....all because of a CLEAN hockey hit 1/4 of a second late.

The play you're referring to, is a classic case of what Boston was getting away with. Clothesline + low bridge (interference) hit? What a joke. Thanks for the reminder.

I still claim to myself that we won the cup that year against Boston, because of how ridiculous things were. They were playing like the 1970's Flyers, or the guys from the Slap Shot movies, and almost nothing was being called against them!

I think it's actually incredible how much I hate Boston. Every god damn thing about that team is f*****. Their play-by-play announcer is the most biased idiot in all of sports, their coach is a complete idiot who thinks Salo is a goon, their GM believes that despite breaking people's necks/backs and running goalies that their players are "generally clean", and even their fricken owner is notorious for being one of the biggest d-bags. Jacobs is also one of the main dudes responsible for the lockout. Like holy f***. That entire organization is completely f*****.
