FolignosJock Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 That hit looks clean to me and it looks like marchand tried to avoid contact he was stopping and their skates hit, I think the guy from montreal was selling it... was marchand penalized?
deluca67 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Looked hip-to-hip to me. Marchand is a huge D-bag but this particular hit isn't why. Looked like a good hit.
Weave Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Looked like a good hit. Looked like the kind of hits we all used to cheer about when it was Zhitnick making them.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 You think Kaleta has a rep, Marchand really has one and deservedly so. To me that was a good hit. Sure Marchand came in low, but the Montreal player looked, to me anyway, to leave the ice slightly in order to make it look worse than it was. Sure he hit the ice, but he, again it appears to me, really sold it. Opposing players know Marchand's rep and have learned to take one for the team. There probably will be a Shanahan moment just because it's Marchand, but I hope there is no suspension. If there is, the NHL is a bigger joke than I thought.

He came a long way to make that hit. There's no way he's trying to avoid contact. Marchand loves going low on hits and Shanny's probably going to have to give him 5 games on this one. Which of course will be followed up with the "he's just defending himself" defense.
darksabre Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 He wasn't throwing a body check and he wasn't throwing a hip check. He clearly wanted to take Emmelin out at the legs.
Gramps Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Somebody needs to end Cyrano de Marchand's career before he ends another. POS ...

shrader Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 One last comment on that hit. When you see any type of hip check, it's always a mostly stationary player taking out someone who is attempting to skate around them. This Marchand hit, he's the one moving towards Emelin with speed, then he goes low. He had every intention of hitting and then he went low. He'll be getting a phone call.

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 That hit looks clean to me and it looks like marchand tried to avoid contact he was stopping and their skates hit, I think the guy from montreal was selling it... was marchand penalized? I don't know what to say......he came a long way and looks like he pulled up knowing he'd get a charge and probably suspended for it, so he goes a little low. It was sort of a pansy takeout. He probably wanted to drill him high, and got nervous, so it looks really wierd. You don't take a guy's knee out at 35% speed. All this suspension crap is affecting these guys in the head....and not for the better.
Bmwolf21 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Wow. Nice play, big shot, picked a corner...
bunomatic Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Last night in Vancouver( actually Burnaby ) some classy canuck fans spray painted Lucic $ucks and go canucks on the side of Lucics church from where he grew up in Burnaby. Its a Serbian orthodox church. Hopefully they find the idiots. Brainless ######$.

And this is even worse because it affects an entire group and not just one individual.

Rox11 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Translation: he's a Bruin and we've already suspended him once. What more do you people want? I am hoping for the day that Marchand gets creamed; obviously it will have to be by someone no more than 2 inches taller than him, because then that player will be the 'pu&&y' for hitting someone smaller. Marchand's going to get away with this for a long time with the defense of his own size. The Bruins have Shanahan right where they want him ... in their pants.
apuszczalowski Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Especially since the property isn't even Lucic's. and I would bet that the majority of the people attending there probably have the same dislike for him since they are probably all Canucks fans in BC
bunomatic Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 and I would bet that the majority of the people attending there probably have the same dislike for him since they are probably all Canucks fans in BC I think he'll have a lot of support at the church he grew up attending. I think most of if not all the members are fellow Serbs.
Randall Flagg Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Haha. We're going to Vancouver soon. That will be a fun one to watch.
deluca67 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Haha. We're going to Vancouver soon. That will be a fun one to watch. Booth has been playing well for the Canucks. 11 goals 22 points in 31 games.
Weave Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Price too high for Flyers(at moment) for Nash. May re-engage later. JVR,Bobrovski, Schenn or Couturier believed to be part of asking price.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 I think he'll have a lot of support at the church he grew up attending. I think most of if not all the members are fellow Serbs. I agree with you on this one. I have many Serb friends and they all say "blood is thicker than water". I have no love loss for SOME Serbs for what they did in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo, but I never paint everyone with the same brush. I blame the politicians for stirring up a mob of thugs and hot heads. Idiots defacing a church of all places is just madness. Madness begets madness.
