Brad Marchand puts his hand around Nick Cousins' neck by the benches

[Score08]

wtf happened to hockey fans? The p***yfication of hockey is nearly complete.

 

[antman12]

Honestly shocked Marchand has made it this far into his career and no one took his head off yet

It wasn’t that bad, but randomly taking off your glove to put it around someone’s neck is such a weird thing to do.

I still can’t believe the bruins named this clown captain. Start of their downfall for sure.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Rat boy strikes again!

They both are.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Such a gross human.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Imagine thinking this is a big deal. It clearly wasn't meant to hurt him. The sperging out over every little thing unpopular players do is what is weird, not Marchand being Marchand.

 

[Sheppy]

Such a gross human.

Agreed, Cousins deserved it.

 

[Jacob]

I do not think anything done against Cousins should be illegal. Like a reverse diplomatic immunity.

 

[tfwnogf]

Strong hockey play. Cousins needs to keep his chin down; neck is too exposed just asking to be grabbed.

 

[trellaine201]

Players really have no respect for one another. Such a black eye on the sport because those in charge allow it with very little consequence!

Since when is choking someone a hockey play?

 

[KillerMillerTime]

This has got to be a suspension... right? Wild.

Oh the humanity!!!

 

[CaptainCaveman]

Parros will have no choice but to send a message here. Eight game suspension incoming for McDavid.

They also have to forfeit next year's third round pick to Calgary.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

This has got to be a suspension... right? Wild.

For what? Give him a roughing penalty at most.

Nick Cousins should be choked every game on principle.

 

[Ratsreign]

This has got to be a suspension... right? Wild.

He was telling him “I should lick you”
Linesman stepped right in when he heard that

 

[xVolchenkov]

It’s weird to know how to feel about this. On one hand, it wasn’t much of a choke (in the sense that not a ton of force was behind it). On the other hand, you can’t take off your glove to choke someone. Not even close to a hockey play or something you can justify. I think he should get a game for it.

came here expecting to see this

Are you ok, sounds like WWE is more for you.

 

[NyQuil]

Cousins has been pretty tame. Haven't really seen a hate worthy thing this year....I was hoping to see some fireworks but nothing. Hes just kind of there. I'm surprised he gets so much hate... He doesn't even hit much, let alone dirty hits.

He’s surprisingly canny when it comes to high IQ plays.

I guess he’s been around the league for awhile, but he can be a smart player.

I was hoping for it, honestly.

Every player should be lady byng choir boys.

[ReimanSum1908]

Utterly disgusting and one of the worst things that I've seen in the NHL over the last ten years.

You absolutely cannot do that. Twenty game suspension is generous.

 

[wmupreds]

Obviously it wasn't that serious and Cousins seemed to not care or maybe thought it was funny. Weird but I don't think it's that big of a deal

 

[Clint Eastwood]

People are acting like he was trying to choke the life out of him. He just grabbed his throat a little. I will say it should've been 2 minutes for roughing but that's it.

Lomberg legitimately choked Frederic in a scrum a couple years ago and got nothing.
