« Une partie des séries éliminatoires consiste à essayer de blesser tous les joueurs de l’autre équipe. Plus vous éliminez de gars, plus votre équipe a l’avantage. Marchand sur Sam Bennett qui l’a blessé.

I mean, he isn’t wrong….
Maybe it SHOULDNT be part of the playoffs?
Rat is averaging 2 pim per game, blud nobody had to take you out you’ve been doing it yourself
Besides my team winning a game in the playoffs nothing in hockey makes me happier than Marchand getting injured from a hit or a spear, or cross check. Nobody deserves it more.
His fuckin team played better without him. Is he coming off as a bitch or am I just an asshole
Marchand showing his playbook to the press dudes mad someone got a better cheap shot than he did sorry rat no more slewfoots for you
Marchand genuinely thinks that everyone else’s main objective is to injure other players. Nah, that’s just you and a few other assholes, dude. He’s such a tool and he doesn’t even know it.
He is right but it shouldn’t be. To me the fact that athletes are going to forget human decency to win at sports is contrary to what kids should be exposed to. This is toxic.
Hey, Bruins fans, this is why everyone hates Marchand. Not everyone is out there trying to hurt guys, but clearly he is.
He’d know
Oops he mixed up » playoffs » with » my career «
Gonna be spicy in these comments
Good look there cap! FFS.
Give your balls a tug!
« See, it’s OK to punch him the face like that! »
Next time he does some dirty shit, they should definitely factor these comments into the length of his suspension. Holy shit dude
Do I like Marchand, no. Do I think there is validity in what’s heys saying in terms of what happens on the ice, especially the mentality of some players during the playoffs—absolutely yes. Every player wants that edge—the lines blur come playoff time bringing the best and worst of the game. The folks who are willing to walk that line need more scrutiny, and likewise those same folks who cross the line need more accountability. Equally on the refs (and DOPS) as it is on the player. League has been notoriously bad in this regard—this year it’s just been downright ridiculous.
I think it’s kind of poorly worded, but honestly its one of the more respectable things I have heard him say
I don’t like Marchand, and I think he could have used better wording… but he is not out there crying saying .. »they did me wrong ».. fair for me but not for thee.. at least he is sucking it up and sleeping in the bed he made for himself with his own actions.
Anyone that’s ever watched playoff hockey knows this.
Imagine if Bennett said this.
This is what Scott Stevens said in an interview regarding all the injuries he caused. He was out there to get an edge over the other team. If that meant killing their best guy, so be it.
Now you know why teams usually don’t release specifics about injuries, they know they’ll be targeted on return.
I agree and disagree with what he’s saying. Wearing down a team through clean hits and physicality is and always will be part of hockey. After 3 or 4 games of crashing into the boards and people hanging on you, it takes a toll. But cheap shots and intentionally dirty hits have no place in the game. They’re a shortcut. If you want to « take out » a player, grind them down and do it the right way.
And absolutely no one was shocked.
I’ve paid attention to this concept more during these playoffs than any other prior. These are grown ass men that want to inflict as much pain and damage to the other men they’re playing against.
Edit: spelling bot got me lol
The Panthers take this to heart
I hate that I like Marchand
