And the linesmen weren't as quick to get to him as they were to Ekblad, so maybe he had to defend himself a bit. I see them as different incidents. Eklad clearly wanted nothing to do with anything, and Domi just popped a guy who'd done nothing to engage or return fire. Eller initially tied up but then took some swings, too -- his second swing took him too far and left him off balance. That's where Marchand capitalized. Eller is a big guy, presumably strong enough, he could've just tied up and held on. Hugged it out. 11 minutes ago, Hank said: I googled the punch but didn't see what led to it so I can't answer your question wrt douchiness.

We can agree to disagree, that's fine. I think you have a problem with the player involved more than the action itself. It inhibits your ability to be objective.

No I think it is stupid to think, that you can punch someone in the face because your team was getting the sh## kicked out of it and you got waved at. "THAT GUY WAVED AT ME!!!!! TIME TO KICK HIS TEETH IN!!!!! BECAUSE I CAN"T HANDLE MY TEAM LOSING!!!!!!" It's childish baby behavior from anyone.

Let him square up if you want a fair fight (we know Marchand didn’t). I'm not sure I can reconcile the idea that Marchand both jumped him (a strong, aggressive act) and acted like a pansy. At least in this instance. Marchand definitely went after him with aggression, but Eller saw him coming. Marchand didn't blindside or cold the guy. And after the initial skirmish (which Marchand definitely got the better of as the aggressor), they were tied up. It could have ended there. But Eller elected to take two swings. He chose poorly.

apuszczalowski Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Marchand is a class act and should be the standard that we teach our children to look up to. You celebrate and hurt an adult millionaires feelings you should be expecting a violent response and attack. The Capitals should have been apologizing to the Bruins after every goal they scored for making them feel bad. Marchand has always been a kind and loving player on the ice, even kissing players the same way a puppy would kiss someone with their tongue. If anyone should have a hearing with the NHL, its Eller for scoring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 The only way suspension should have been on the table for Marchand was if the instigator penalty was within that window where it is mandated. Apparently that's not the case since there's chatter as to whether or not a hearing was scheduled. But even then, they would have rescinded it because only in the NHL can you have something mandatory that isn't mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
