-DLC- Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2017/12/9/16757376/brad-marchand-hits-john-tavares-up-high-suspension-coming Early in the third period, with the Boston Bruins leading 1-0. Brad Marchand was assessed a major penalty (Interference) for his high hit on superstar John Tavares. As the video (linked) shows, it followed a hit on David Pastrnak that seemed fairly innocuous.... This guy just doesn't seem to care. How many chances before he seriously injures someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Clutch Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just saw that too. The guy is completely reckless. Got to wonder what goes through his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's dirty piece of crap. No need to get his hands up his face like that, his stick. He's reckless. It wasn't good, which is probably how we should be judging his crap at this point. Not that bad just isn't acceptable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just kick him out of the league for life before a player does the league's job for them. If he actually seriously hurt someone there would be a pretty good case to hold the league criminally liable for negligence at this point given the evidence to support he has zero chance of developing into a respectable hockey player. Absolutely gutless play from the biggest piece of garbage since Messier. Stop slapping him on the wrist; his one remaining brain cell can't figure out this kind of trash is unacceptable.

Sygvard Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I love how the poll on the Bruins blog asks for opinions on the hit. With options that range from "totally clean" to "worth a game". As if a single game is the worst discipline he could get for a predatory head hit as a repeat offender. Throw the library at him until he learns where the edge is.

His hands got up on the hit but their was hardly any force behind it, and it was to the face, not the head. He got a well deserved 5 minute major and that should be enough He came from the other side of the ice at him and knocked him flying. Of course there was force.

-AJ- Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 To be honest, Marchand seems to have cleaned up his game more in the last year or two, but this isn't a good sign. Isn't he a repeat offender? This could be a game or two perhaps because of that. Looking at the history posted by Deb, I'd say 1-2 games is fair.

Rounoush Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'd give him a game. Really just because he is a repeat offender. This one is certainly dirty but it's not that bad in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almo89 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Probably got a major just based on reputation. I hate the guy, but this hit doesn't seem that bad. A tad late and a little high, but doesn't seem to be actually trying to aim for the head. 5 and a major seems fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
