Player Discussion Brad Marchand VI‎I

[Gordon Lightfoot]

That gd pass/turnover out of the zone on the powerplay was something else. What was he even thinking? I can somewhat accept being neutralized by good defense but what the hell was that?

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Some of the plays him and Pastrnak attempt to force are mind boggling.

Lots of talent, but this time of year when these guys are dog tired, keeping it simple is often the best plan.

This guy on the PP is just killing us. And I’m stunned Cassidy not only puts his unit out there first every time but also let’s them hang sometimes the full two minutes. It’s egregious. Marchand is singlehandedly killing our PP.

Cassidy continuously chooses to live by the sword & die by the sword with his top guys.

Something he’s done all playoffs.

 

[Dupell6]

Even if he is injured he has as to be better. His decision making and effort right now are poor. To soft on pucks.

Marchand has traditionally been a poor playoff performer. It's a shame that it's continuing during these playoffs, especially the SCF.

Dear Brad, talk is cheap. Put up or shut up.

I hope this makes it to him, he needs it.

It’s crazy that he’s somehow leading the postseason in scoring

Might not be for much longer, unless he gets moving...

 

[lextune]

The fancy blind(ish) pass attempts at both blue lines is killing us.

Do you think that he's been consistently good throughout the playoffs? How about the SCF?

No not at all. That’s why I’m saying it’s crazy

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood your post (can't judge tones in written text).

No worries. After I posted it I thought that could be an issue

I'm assuming it's a left hand/wrist injury that he's had the entire series going back to the scrimmage game. Literally everyone is on him about shooting and he still keeps doing it.

We will see Game 7 Vancouver Marchand and Bergeron Sunday

Injury or not

Marchy and Bergy will come thru

 

[Lady Rhian]

Marchand needs to get in their heads. Just yap at them- no stupid stuff like licking or stomping on a skate. Just yap at them. He plays far better when he's hyped up like that.

 

[DKH]

Marchand hand is much better - should be even better Sunday

Hopefully it’s 100% Wednesday

Yeah you can tell something is wrong in the wrist/hand area. He won't shoot. Even when he is playing shitty he still shoots.

Not an excuse for the god awful turnovers but clearly not 100%.

I also happen to think this is the only series he has looked bad in. Saying he's had a bad playoffs is unfair. He's had a great first 3 rounds and a horrible SCF. Unfortunate.

+ reason why he needs to simplify his game

Since 2011 yes he has

 

[patty59]

Since 2011 yes he has

I know hes been disappointing but hes still leading the scorer in the playoffs
