TheChimp Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 How many games is Timmy gonna miss? Marchand must have told him they were out of liquor. That's just what I was thinking, that Tim Connolly is a vicious drunk. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone notice when the camera work got all wonky in the third period, Myers destroyed Marchand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone notice when the camera work got all wonky in the third period, Myers destroyed Marchand. I didn't notice, and I already deleted the game in anger. Crap. I would've liked to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being relegated to internet radio this season, I did not see it but I heard RJ announce the big hit and mention that Marchand was having some difficulty getting back to the bench :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Driver Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Like in the NHL when there appears to be different Shanny standards for different players. True that! Marchand and his punk comments doesn't really mean much, but when the Boston Goon Squad gets away with dirty hits is gets eveyone else pissed. Surprisingly Marchang actually got suspended for clipping earlier, but expect the standards to relax as the playoffs approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone notice when the camera work got all wonky in the third period, Myers destroyed Marchand. Yes I did. :thumbsup: He was very slow getting up and went straight to the bench. Myers has been doling out some hits lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny DangerFace Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 No that's not it. Myers awkwardly hit marchand due to height difference. They didn't show it again but it almost looked like shoulder/elbow to his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I thought so... I don't think Timmy ever wore a shield with us - remember this ? A visor might have saved his beak that time ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw0P1qfwAHw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanbe Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Anyone notice when the camera work got all wonky in the third period, Myers destroyed Marchand. I did. Myers nailed that punk and he had no idea where he was for a second or two. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFX Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Everyone see this beautiful hit Soupy laid on Marchand in their 6-2 spanking of Boston? I'd love to see the Sabres destroying guys at the blue line on a regular basis. When was the last time that happened? I think McNabb did it in one of his earlier call-ups this season and I was hoping Regehr would make it part of his regular repertoire when we acquired him, but he typically waits til guys are deep in the zone before hitting them.

darksabre Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 That was a beauty of a hip check. Marchand probably didn't know what it was seeing as it was perfectly legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Watch the very end of that video and right after the perfectly legal, clean, by the book hip check you see Bergeron go after Campbell. Why is it every single time a Bruin gets hit perfectly clean and legal they feel the need to go after the guy who threw the hit? They are the biggest bunch of pussified hypocrites you will ever see in the NHL or any other sport for that matter. Why they feel they can cheapshot whoever they want and not get hit in return is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFX Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 You're very welcome. I saw that hit on NHL Tonight and knew it had to be shared. Then I saw there was an entire thread dedicated to bashing "Stanley Cup ChampiAn" Marchand and thought "What better place?" Oh, and I can't look at Marchand without thinking he's The Boy With Purple Socks from Harriet the Spy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were more than a few members here that wanted to see someone go after Boychuck after his perfectly legal hit on Vanek just a few games ago. Where were you guys in that game day thread? The idea is intimidation. If you send the message to the other team that even legal hits will be met with violence you discourage the other team from throwing hits. It gives your team more room to work. I wish our team was capable of that kind of intimidation frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish our team was capable of that kind of intimidation frankly. I've sat on both sides of the fence on this one quite frankly. After Vaneks hit by Boychuck my emotions got the better of me and I was of the thought that someone should have stepped up. After further thought I've amended my feelings. I agree every clean hit shouldn't be challenged with violence, its a mans game. Keep your head up. But I do believe when its arguably your best player a message should be sent. Whether the hit was clean or not. Brad Marchard doesn't deserve that kind of protection especially on a perfectly clean hit. Maybe Vanek does with his status on this team. It was certainly warranted after Boychuck took him out of the playoffs with an illigal slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'd like to add that as we all know a big hit can spark a team and shift momentum and on the other side a big response can take that momentum away or at least take it back. Maybe thats part of the thinking that goes into a violent response to a clean hit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats part of the thinking that goes into a violent response to a clean hit ? Now you are getting it. IMO it is probably a combo of the 3 thoughts we've expressed here, intimidation to reduce the opponents will to hit, emotional response to seeing a teammate get crushed, and an attempt to try to change momentum. And like I've said in the past, fights are fun to watch. Why complain about an event that results in more entertainment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
