Around the League: Capitals and Ovie are Stanley Cup Champions

Watching bruins I should say that they are not only one line team, but 7-10 minutes a game team. They cannot skate for more than that in full game. Problem is they create most of their offense in that span. Tampa was able to contain them in that 7-10 minutes span in last three games and then bruins were just gassed and stayed around watching Tampa skating circles around them. Leafs though gave up 2-3 goals in those 10 mins. We need better patience and some phisical play to break cycle on boards and go on attack.

If Marchand keeps this up hes going to get an uppercut to the jaw that will end it rather abruptly.

They had a much tougher first round than the Lightning.

If Leafs had any defensive structure it is the Leafs the Lightning are beating on right now.

Looks good on the NHL for letting it go in the first place.

Bruins gonna be shaking hands come Sunday.

Glorious

Thought we got beat out by the best team in the East? Or, has that idea died now?

They probably were the best team in the east for about 4 months.

They were probably the worst match-up for the Leafs, and Matthews bad back.

Someone will punch him with the knob of their stick, shattering his jaw, and ending that little charade.

I placed my summer bet on TB in Vegas at 17:1 odds and it would return a cool $3,400 ..

I've thought before the season even started that Stamkos and the Lightning were the class of the east.

I watched the Bruins pretty frequently the last few months of the season and that was exactly the impression I had. It's unfortunate the Leafs couldn't properly deal with it but that's the biggest difference between a team like Toronto and Tampa, Tampa is able to maintain their composure.

apparently the league is going to talk to Marchand about his licking.
that is a sentence I never thought i'd had to write.

Should have been suspended when it became a trend I feel, instead of just talking.

 

[Nineteen67]

Is it not a match penalty to lick someone? Spitting at a player is.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

First lick = okay
Second lick = okay
Third lick = okay
Fourth lick = okay, but just don't do it again

This league is a joke tbh

Seriously. You warn him in our series to not do it again, he does it more, and there's still nothing but another "hey, stop that"???!

Even with his hits and crap, his suspensions are never really severe. For the long list of everything he's done, I believe he's only been suspended a total of 14 games over 5 different suspensions, and fined $17,000 over 3 different fines.

He's the ultimate repeat offender that the NHL doesn't treat like a repeat offender

Apparently that first warning never actually happened. So it took 4 times (really 5 if you count his attempted lick) before he even got a warning

 

[Daisy Jane]

but why is he licking people?! that's just grody

 

[Gabriel426]

If I am the owner of TB or Leafs, I would have file a sexual harassment in the work place law suit against him and file a restraining order too. He will be out of the game and series , right away.

Exactly! If Marchand was a Leaf player, he would have been fined and/or suspended already!

 

[Daisy Jane]

teams now told that any licking is a 10 minute misconduct.

Never thought that would ever need to be a rule.
And the winner of this years Sean Avery award goes to...

Maybe in Ontario it would fly, but not here.

Come on Caps.
