Brad Marchand is at it again.

Kyprios said 1 maybe 2. MacLean didn't know because Emelin wasn't hurt on the play. They both said it was worse, or "dirtier", than the hit on Salo. I don't know if he'll get suspended, or how long it may be. And to be honest I don't really care, because it doesn't matter.
 
If I was a Bruins fan, I'd have a hard time liking/defending what Marchand is doing. To my understanding, that's not Bruins hockey. That's more chickensheet stuff that small guys in the ECHL or some beer league pull.

I like Marchand. I think he has grit and has the hands and speed to be a legit top 6 forward. But he still wants to play like he's trying to prove something. Small man complex I guess.

Obviously he still isn't getting the message. Repeat offender. If Shanny's going to be consistent, it should be 8 games. But because Emelin wasn't injured. He'll may 3 games for being a repeat offender.

I want to see if Julien is going to blindly back up his player and say something completely stupid.

So hypocritical for Marchand to be calling out Habs fans and calling them classless for cheering after Chara got hit by the puck in the face. Marchand said that you should be "concerned about player safety". wow.

Not the most horrible thing I have seen, I think the hit on Salo was far worse personally. He'll never admit it but I would bet money he took a run at Emelin for the hit from behind earlier in the game on Thornton.
 
I have no doubt about that either. But it's one thing to send a message and defend your teammate, who is more than capable of defending himself, but it's another to clip the guy. It's payback, right? Intimidation works, I get that.

But don't spout afterwards about giving a damn about player safety, when you don't. Just say that you don't care what anyone else thinks and that you're glad that Chara is okay, and anyone that takes a run at our players will get it back 10 fold. I'd respect that a lot more.
 
This was not as bad, and it even looks like BM was starting to hold up (yes I know he didnt). But given that he was suspended for a similar incident, I could see him getting another one for that fact alone.

Then again stuff like this happens all the time, so in my book when it 'is not that bad' I dont really care one way or another.



As for the game itself, those were some pretty slick goals from Pouliot and Patricio. The Bs needed that win after fluttering for the last handful of games. The habs might not be very good this year, but they always play their best against the Bs to make things interesting.
 
I normally support any Nova Scotian hockey player but I can't stand Marchand. When is somebody going to say enough is enough and give him a beat down? The kid has a major attitude problem and sense of entitlement, both on and off the ice. I've heard stories out of his hometown and even a lot of people there think he's a d**k.
 
I didn't it was nearly as bad as the clip on Salo. I thought it was just an completely unnecessary play at the end of the period.

I am all for finishing your check, but this was at the end of the period, 200 feet from your goal. All he was thinking about was getting a little retribution for the Thornton hit earlier in the game.

Everybody's head asplode when they hear the clip of him calling out others as being classless. I'm all for irony, but wow this is just a little too rich even for me.
 
Absolutely can't stand Marchand. It was sweeeet justice watching him chirp at Ville Leino last week only to have Leino make an insane pass to setup a goal. Hope someone beats him down though and teaches him his garbage won't stand in this league.
