khay Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Did Marchand get a penalty for the sucker punch?The principal contact is not the head, why would there be a suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I love all the Bruin / Marchand bashing in the comments of that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Does look like it's shoulder to shoulder from that replay.If so, they should suspend Marchand just cuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You people disgust me. Celebrating someone else getting injured, no matter who they are, is deplorable behaviour even for sports fans, and...Just kidding. Landeskog probably just said to himself "I don't care if I get suspended, that was totally worth it." Wasn't even a head hit, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's nice to see players have finally had it with this goof. I've seen him get run at atleast 4 times this season. Players seem to want him gone. I do to. Lol. Take his freaking head off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Looked shoulder to shoulder on the replay...I can see why the refs would call a match penalty since it looks awful in real time, but with the benefit of replay it's not as bad.

Green Building Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Definitely glanced the head, but it looked like shoulder to shoulder on the replays. Need another angle from behind the net or something to be sure.I don't really wish injury on any player, but for most players I both mean, and say, something like "that's tough, hope they're alright, don't miss too much time, etc etc...". For certain other players I'm indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Is it wrong to find joy in watching Marchand get banged around like he's been this season? Somewhere in Finland, Sami Salo is having a good chuckle.Especially liked how Marchand had to leap upwards off his feet to get a shot in on Landeskog.

The Bookie Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I need a slow motion gif of just the hit so I can glaze out watch it on loop 30 or 40 times #marchandporn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV77 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The clown still sets him for cheap shot. Somebody in a game or on the street, needs to give Marchand a solid beating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'd have to see it closer. Hard to see if it's actually the head or just the shoulder. It is not, however, hard to see that Marchand sold that hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat James Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 What goes around comes around, eh, Marchand. You get what you deserve. Karma is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Blind side. Principal point of contact was the head. Apparently there was no serious injury on the play, but we'll see. Three games (more if Marchand sustained a concussion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Blind side. Principal point of contact was the head. Apparently there was no serious injury on the play, but we'll see. Three games (more if Marchand sustained a concussion).you can see Marchand sees him before the hit. It is from the side yes, but not blindsided. Main point of contact was top of the shoulder. Not the head. It does kinda look like he tried to take him out tho. But it's Marchand so who gives a poop. I don't think there will be anything at all.

RRypien37 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 A thing of beauty. I wish all the best to Mr. Landeskog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Principle point of contact doesn't have to be the head for it to be illegalShoulder to shoulder contact doesn't make it a legal hitBlind side is no longer in the rule bookI've attached the illegal check to the head rule, and the most important part here is the check must be squarely through the body. Landeskog doesn't to that but instead ends up making contract across the from of the body, and Marchand gets spun as a result.There is head contact so he could get suspended, but it almost looks like Landeskog is trying to get out of the way. That's the confusing part, since it seems like he has him lined up but then tried to back out of going full force and ends up almost missing him.
