Tavares slewfoot on Marchand

[NHL Fanatik*]

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

Can't get much slower than standing still

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

Give me a break



Also, love the general mantra of this thread. "Hey you can murder Brad Marchand with an ice pick and drown his puppy in bleach, that's alright though because it's Brad Marchand he has it coming"


It was a blatant penalty that the refs missed, pretty incompetent on their part but whatever. It's par for the course.

You can do whatever you want to a guy, so long as he has the name 'Marchand' or 'Chara' on his jersey.

If you want to call every little thing against the Bruins, that's fine but at least call the blatant ones against them.

It's really just insanity the abuse he takes night in and night out. IF IT'S A PENALTY CALL THE ****ING PENALTY FOR CHRISTSAKES, doesn't matter who the player is.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Yeah, that's not a slewfoot. That's just a trip. 2 minute penalty.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

 

[egelband]

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. A trip. Not sure players get fined or suspended for trips.

 

[VC]

That's a tripping penalty and not the actual act of a slew foot.

 

[Helistin]

Where's the slewfoot?

Fine incoming?

Twenty eight other teams would pay it.

Besides, who cares about a fine? What is it to you or I?

Have always loved Marchand's game (and the manner in which it annoys some here); love Tavares, or any star, showing anger, chippiness/over the line play on occasion. Others can have the homogenized, sanitized league they pine for.

It's called "Cooke Logic".

 

[pahlsson]

looked like a strong hockey play

 

[Absurdity]

I watched the game, and I didn't even notice that. I honestly thought the video would be about Tavares interfering/tripping Marchand in the B's defensive zone in the slot at the 2-3 minute mark. Between this incident, and the one I explained, the one incident I really had an issue with was Strome slashing and breaking Pastrnak's stick before the puck was dropped in a face off with 2 referees looking right at the incident, but there was no call.

Slewfooting does not require pull or push. Read the rule one person posted on this thread already. That is slewfoot, tripped ppl don't fall on their back.

Good strong hockey play, dunno what youre talking about.

Ok , so every time player falls on it's back it a slewfoot and if a player falls forward its a trip. Perfect.

 

[vippe]

Hate Marchands guts. But this was dirty. No way around it.

Please no facts. They don't jive well with folks in here.

Except for Phaneuff

 

[FinnBruin]

Probably not worth more than a 2 minute minor for tripping.

But again last night, between this, the Strome slash on Pastrnak and the Clutterbuck interference on Krug that sent Krug to the locker room, all of them happening right in front of the referees, it's once again not hard to see why the Bruins get the least power plays in the league. Hint, it's not because ''they are a slow team''.

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Refs don't like the Bruins, we get it. And we still win more than lose.

 

[Uber Coca]

Not a slewfoot.

 

[jacks*]

Bruins are so slow.

 

[Jacob]

That's not a slew foot, it's a trip.

 

[nmbr_24]

I watched that play a bunch of times. That is without a doubt a slewfoot. It is kind of a textbook slewfoot. Without a doubt it should have been a penalty.

 

[NastyNick]

Anytime this happens to Marchand you should consider that

1. He probably dove.
2. If he didn't dive, he absolutely deserved it.
