Confirmed with Link: Marchand Suspended 2 games for Slew-Foot

Scotto74 · Jan 16, 2015

seems like they got this one right.

I just wish they would get this stuff right on a more consistant basis.

It was the upper body contact that made Brassard fall, though. Marchand's skate hardly touched Brassard after he was already falling.

HumBucker · Jan 16, 2015

Fair. Would seem fairer if Kreider got a hearing too, since his act was even more dangerous. :huh:

Me too.Hate to whine and moan but saw Subban do it 4 or 5 times and nothing.Depends who you are and play for it seems or how many other teams fans or announcers speaks out.But ok fine .Bruins rep as tough seems to always allow other teams to get free shots at them.

Minor penalty=2 game suspension.

No matter who they put in that position, they'll never figure it out.

Really, guy?!!??

I didn't see the intent either.

I have seen plays where you can tell Marchand was definitely trying to "get" the guy. Last night's play they were shoulder to shoulder battling the puck and Marchand got his shoulder in front of Brassard's. There was slight contact on the back of the leg, but it looked like Brassard had already started to fall. Also there was not the usual "pitchfork" associated with a slewfoot.

I thought it was borderline.

Also, two wrongs don't make a right, but why wasn't Subban's slew foot in the CLS game the other night reviewed by the league? They showed it on NHL on the Fly, he was given a tripping penalty, and I didn't find it until just now. Not the best video, but check out 1:10 in.

Do a little bit of quick research on PK. This is up to three years ago (Jan 2012):

I didn't think the Staal injury was a slew foot, but the other two were.

3) PK on Dubinsky (and also different angles of the Neal and Kunitz slew foots:

4) On Elias:

I am sure there are more. When is PK's hearing?

Marchand practicing -- getting ready to cover his obligatory two-bad-penalties-per-playoff-game pace.

2 refs on ice never even called a penalty.Now Kreider goes fo box and what he did caused a fight yet not even a hearing.NHL is so biased not funny.

Latrappe · Jan 16, 2015

So, Marshmont got 2 games and Kreider 0. Yeah, sure....

RaskIsABrickWall · Jan 16, 2015

only 2..thought it would be 3

I know they didn't call it, but even they would have it would only have been a minor penalty for tripping. But he gets a suspension for it.

People are so obssesed over suspension and this type of crap it's embarrassing. I have to laugh that people think that warrants 2 games, what are those opinions even based on?

ehh we should be fine

Columbus is playing really bad and its a revenge game for the Bs

And Dallas is just not a good hockey team and a very bad home team

22Brad Park · Jan 16, 2015

Remember Jeff Skinner slewfooting Bergeron.Notta out of it.Not even a call.

Fire Sweeney · Jan 16, 2015

Kreider's hit was a hockey play. Not sure why people are complaining.

Lol yea sure.Push a guy from behind head first into boards.Could of broke his neck.

DaStinger · Jan 16, 2015

Was a dirty play, deserves a suspension. Was not the most dangerous hit in the game however. NHL needs consistency.

My problem with it is that it's probably just a minor penalty if it gets called on the ice and that would have been the correct call. Now the league is suspended players for minor infractions.

He was called for boarding, that's not a hockey play

Just like that time Bergy got hit into the boards from behind in almost the same spot.

Awww how cute, you're playing the board contrarian role.

Not to mention that Kreider has boarded two guys this season (and last):

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-p...eider-earn-suspension-hit-140958051--nhl.html

This doesn't take into account his penchant for running goalies either.

Not trying to absolve Marchand of any of his past transgressions, but why is he on the radar and guys like Kreider (and Subban) are not?

The league needs to be much more consistent with their efforts.

PatriceBergeronFan · Jan 16, 2015

First dirty play of the year for Marchy and people freak out and condemn him. I like it, and it wasn't as bad as the boarding later on.
