Don't feel sorry at all for Marchand. He's been the deliverer of tons of cheap shots among other things over the years. Sorry bud, too bad for you.

Oh yeah I don't care about Marchand getting punched. Don't like seeing players get concussed, but if there's one guy that probably deserves it it's Marchand. But I'm definitely here for the retaliation.

Helps that I absolutely love Boston. And don't mind the Panthers one bit either.

Was he concussed? Because I thought he kept playing after that and even laid another hit where there was helmet to helmet contact. And some are speculating that is where he got truly injured. I dunno, this is already too many posts about Marchand for my liking.

He's in protocol, at the very least. Probably wouldn't be if he wasn't expressing symptoms. Could be it was that, could be it was the helmet-to-helmet, could be a combination of both. We'll never know.

The second hit was basically just tapping helmets, the only way that caused a concussion is if he already had one and it just made the symptoms explode to where he couldn’t hide it any more.

Yeah, and on a TNT clip I saw you could clearly see Marchand stumble onto the bench after that Bennett punch. Could barely stay on his skates. Definitely concussion-like enough for me to be willing to put money down on Bennett having concussed him.

Yeah, Pang SAID “maybe it was the second hit a little later…” but what he clearly MEANT was “I have no idea wtf DOP$ was thinking letting this go”.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Bennett should have his head taken off by someone for that.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Bennett... The drama writes itself.

 

[ADHB]

I understand why the coach is upset, but you can't overturn that on a challenge. The refs on the ice should have called him for a cross check.

I guess if the offensive guy doesn't interfere, then you can always push any defending guy into the goalie without any goalie interference. That's the standard now.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I don’t really care who wins this series. But after missing the Bennett punch and now that awful non call on goalie interference, could this league embarrass itself any further?

 

[ADHB]

I guess if the offensive guy doesn't interfere, then you can always push any defending guy into the goalie without any goalie interference. That's the standard now.

If you start calling that, the defender will just launch into his own goalie anytime he's touched and say he got pushed in.

Also, no way Swayman was saving that whether he got bumped or not. The reason the goal was scored was because Bennett cleared Coyle out to get to the puck. The refs on the ice need to call that.

 

[mightyquack]

Lindholm is having a horrid third period.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Hampus is having himself an… interesting 3rd period, to say the least.

 

[AngelDuck]

Barkov is so great and I firmly believe Carlsson will end up being slightly better than him even. We’re lucky

 

[mightyquack]

Don't feel sorry at all for Marchand. He's been the deliverer of tons of cheap shots among other things over the years. Sorry bud, too bad for you.

Yeah, I'm not feeling sorry for Boston and especially Marchand who have been cheapshotting for years.

Some of the pearl clutching this year painting Boston as some innocent victim is hilarious, given some of the players and style of play they have employed over the years.

 

[AngelDuck]

Boston has completely lost their cool and composure. They’re done

Yeah, this is the guy people are up in arms about because he maybe got cheapshotted:





Don't dish it out if you can't take it back. That goes for Sam Bennett as well.

 

[AngelDuck]

Impressive from Florida. All business

 

[mightyquack]

Boston have been outclassed all series, even the game they won, Florida felt like the better team, Swayman was just unbelievable.

They have no ability to get any sort of sustained offensive pressure. They seem to just dump it in, try and retrieve it, send it back to the blue line and fire it at goal.....not a recipe for success in the playoffs, unless you're playing Toronto.

Except you have video the defender was "cross-checked" and the loose puck wouldn't have been that easy to put into the net. Somehow that logic isn't introduced and the logic that a cross-check isn't a penalty.

 

[AngelDuck]

That’s awful from Ekblad, gotta know better

Again, that's on the ref on the ice. You can't call a penalty on video review.

 

[mightyquack]

146 shots v 78 shots is an absolutely insane difference through 4 games. 36.5 shots per game v 19.5 shots per game.
