Does Bunting try to kick Marchand? Have your say!



Michael Bunting gets tripped by Brad Marchand, but does he let his foot intentionally wave toward Marchand’s face? Have your say!

  1. Yes, this should be a suspension for the rest of the year including playoffs. no excuse for this. How Quickly you all forget about Adam Johnson.

  2. Didn't look like it was on purpose, but it's Marchand, so screw him if it was intentional. It wouldn't be a penalty, just karma.

  3. Id say yeah. His way of trying to get him back for that trip. Refs really have to keep an eye on all players during the playoffs. Teams battle all season to get to that point and it wouldnt be right for dirty players and teams to get away with plays such as tripping or interference. It gives them a slight edge and all that. Im talking Vegas Boston Tampa and Florida

  4. Skaters fall all kinds of weird ways with their skates going up sometimes. I tripped up a guy after a face off and got the boot of his skate to my chin.

  5. I see Marshy lifted his skate with the stick but what the fuck is bunting trying to do there that shit has happened to me playing hockey and I can still keep my skate Lower than what he did

  6. That's how it looked to me, if I were the player safety committee I'd look into this, an he would probably be suspended

  7. I think that's Bunting flopping. His skates are always up in the air. Extremely reckless embellishments but not trying to kick

  8. Absolutely NOT! Marchand lifted the leg during a trip, and Bunting wasn't even looking where his foot was. Typical Marchand move, playing the victim.

  9. So, no officials point out that deliberate trip.

    He was trying to get the stick free, you have to do it In a way, you don't cause injury to both. It's not easy when caught on that angle. You see the frustration and the idgaf attitude as he rips his stick from underneath him maliciously.

    Remaining balance isn't easy on ice, wearing skates while you're back to someone as they lift your leg instead of just trying to wiggle the stick free.

    I'm certain Brad's tongue must have made its way to all the higher-ups. There's a reason they coddle him.
