Even if they did call it a penalty during the game, what would it have been? I'm guessing a minor penalty for tripping since there was no injury. So no the league is suspending players for tripping minors.

He'll get two games max. Anything more would be insane.
Whatever. I've noticed he has been being very aggressive in his checking (stick checking, "body positioning" when fighting for the puck) the last number of games. I take that as a good sign...but then again it's going to back to "old Marchy" playing on the edge and sometimes crossing it. I guess if we want our players to play with that snarl that gave them an identity and made them so good the past few years, we might have to accept the penalty minutes and occasional discipline that comes with it.

I'm sorry but complaining about Subban or Crosby, or anyone else, reminds me of a little kid getting caught stealing cookies and squealing on his brother for doing it. Sour grapes.

When two guys are going to boards in that manner fighting for position its hard not to do what he did.If he did not fight that way for balance he would have been going to ice .Also its not like he did what Subban does all the time and just kick feet out of unsuspecting opponent in front of net standing straight up.Heck I also have a picture of Crosby in last years playoffs slewfooting Girardi after making pass out of zone n not a word was said.I am tired of NHL picking on certain players just cause of name on jersey or crest.Alot of sookie fans from other teams making noise as well brings it more attention.Call me a homer its ok but if it was called fair and same way for all teams then perhaps my tune be different.One only has to look at powerplays Bruins get per year to figure out deck is stacked.Teams in 29th in entire league get way more .Now thats funny.By the way ,not a word about Kreider hit right ?No surprise here.haha Bruins need to keep playing rough like last 5 games in spite of NHL.

Watched PJ Stock yesterday talking about it and he said in a situation like that cause of way they were battling to get puck driving towards boardsThe player gets his power from the leg he used n his lats on other side.Believe it or not alot of natural movement was in that play.Try it sometime see how your body responds.Should be a fine max cause no injuries and 2 refs on ice saw no reason to even all a penalty.

He has been playing great this season and has mostly been well behaved.
No kidding. Remember when Ference got 3 games for this?
No history prior to this either. I knew it was ******** then, even moreso now.

Honestly I don't think Marchand deserves any time off. Just a fine. No injury on the play.
No more dangerous than what Kreider did to Soderberg and I don't even think that deserves suspension... and I'm guessing he won't even get a freakin' hearing.

I know Marchand may get around 2 games, but what grinds my gears is how Kreider goes off scott free from stopping but instead of not doing anything, shoves Soderberg anyways who goes head first into the boards.
Hey Glenn, good to see you.
Yup. As long as we all realize every season or other hes going to do something stupid and accept it for whats on the other side of the ledger.
I see this totally different than most everyone else. It does look like a slew foot, but I see Brad clearly being off balance (watch as his right leg/skate is actually in the air when the starts to throw Brassard down. He uses his upper body to gain balance and in the process throws his man to the ice. Not only is his foot airborne (how can he slew foot if his skate isn't on the ice?) he is looking the other direction. Not to mention his team is on the penalty kill and it's later in the game and they're holding on to a lead. All things considered and no penalty on the play as well as no injury, I don't see how you can give him a lengthy suspension, aside from a reputation call of course. I believe his intentions were to stay on his skates and take his man down. I don't see it as an attempt to slew foot or injure.
