Tavares slewfoot on Marchand

[bluefan]

Should've been a penalty and maybe a fine too.

Don't really care as it's Marchand. He should at least know how it feels to be on the receiving end of one.

 

[Tusker]

Looked like a dive to me.

Rule 52 – Slew-footing
52.1 Slew-footing - Slew-footing is the act of a player using his leg or foot
to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an
opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the
same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the
opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice.

 

[The Nuge]

While it's not a slew foot per se, it is dirty. He should at least get a fine but he's a big enough name that nothing will come of it

 

[323 Krejci 7]

Marchand got two games for the same exact thing. Just saying, cause I don't even think that was all that bad by Tavares...

 

[Danish Pastry]

Penalty at most... not everything is a fine or a suspension...

 

[hockeywoot]

Trip. Not a slew foot.

They could have called a penalty...thats about it

 

[Nynja*]

Is tavares ok tho?

 

[DieByTheShield]

He should at least get a fine, Marchand is a well known dirtbag but JT shouldn't stoop to his level.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

That's not a slewfoot though

Kids these days...

 

[FLYLine27*]

Well, first off it wasnt a slew foot, it was a trip. Second, AWESOME job JT!

 

[Sarge58]

Not defending Marchand, but it did look like a slew foot.

Tavares isn't above the occasional dirty play. He'll do what it takes to get the advantage. Pushing the envelop is part of the game.

It should have been a penalty, but it's not worthy of a fine or a suspension

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Nope, not a penalty.

If everytime someones leg unintentionally caused a trip there was a fine, the players would lose a lot of money.

Not a penalty even, you think? Lol.

 

[TheAngryHank]

2 min trip at most.

 

[Strummergas]

Based on the responses in this thread, it appears that a player should get fined every time they do something that would result in a 2 minute minor.

 

[jacks*]

Looked fine to me.If anything a dive from Marchand

 

[The Beyonder]

I dunno why JT is gooning on such a classy player like Marchand. Should receive some suspension time.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

A little bit of a trip by JT, a little bit of embellishment by Marchand. It all evens out.

 

[aemoreira1981]

And...and...and...and...where's the call? (If you watched the NESN broadcast, you'll get this.)

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

That's tripping not a slewfoot. He did not use any upper body to pull or push back on Marchands upper body, plus he only got 1 foot....

Exactly.

2 minutes for tripping at most.

 

[TheGooooch]

That was certainly a penalty. He knew what was happening.

 

[CharasInCharge]

Should have been 2 minutes. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Rink Rage]

He should sit for at least one game.

 

[NHL Fanatik*]

Nothing major, two minutes.

 

[BruinsBtn]

The Bruins are dead last in the NHL in powerplays for about the last decade because they're a slow team...right guys?
