ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Everytime I see these types of collisions the first thing that comes to mind is it's time for International Ice, it's just going to continue to happen and probably get worse with players still getting faster and stronger, NHL/ Owners and GM's need to come to an agreement for the future of their players.

Wilbur Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The more I see this the more furious I get. While the situation was accidental (ie. no premeditated), it looks like he went out of his way to hit Duclair, their path wasn't set for collision. Apparently Marchand missed today's game against the Hawks due to an 'upper body injury'. Guy was just fearing retrobution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive he's made it this far without a pair of balls or a functioning brain. Either the NHL or a player needs to end this gutless piece of garbage's career sooner rather than later.

Tystick Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 He always denies any intent, I call BS. You've cried wolf for too long, douchebag. I wish the NHL would 2x his suspension length every time he injures someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any responsible league would have given this coward a lifetime ban by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Definitely a purposeful act by the Rat to clothesline Duclair. Considering the result is an injury to Duclair, Marchand should get the rest of the regular season and the first 7 games of the playoffs. While he’s on suspension the Rat should have to be a speed bump in the local Walmart parking lot. How long before some vigilante justice ends the Rat’s ratting?

40moreyears Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Is there really any teams or players left in the league that has a retribution mentality? Didn't the King Rat Buttman clear the way for Rat Jr? Would love to see Rat Boy try to survive an era of Grimson, Probert, Domi, and even Semenko, ffs.

kloubek Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Like others, at first it didn't look so bad to me in real time. We say he had all the time in the world, but in fact with it sped up to true speed he didn't have a ton. What bothers me about this is the purposeful act of putting his hands out like that, at the last moment, which could result in nothing OTHER than clotheslining Duclair. If it was any other player, I would say that he maybe didn't realize until the last moment, and then put his hands out too high by accident. But knowing Marchand as we all do, I'd say with almost certainty that this was on purpose and he knew exactly what he was doing. That's fine... he will get off Scott free, or another slap on the wrist and will be out there in no time - ready to intentionally injure someone else.

-AJ- Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Most of it was maybe fine, but it's clear that he put his hands out intentionally, either reactionarily or consciously. I'm hoping for at least a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Gets fined for embellishment and does a thing like this. If he wasn't playing for a powerful NHL owner, he would be out of the league by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If the league had any balls they'd suspend him for something meaningful like the first round, but they won't, and he'll be back in the news for something like this not before long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with at least half a brain knows this wasn't an accident. Unfortunately I don't think if you put all the heads together from NHL hockey ops and DoPS you would get half a brain.
