Didn't look like a very hard hit. In real time, it didn't look very late either. That said, video quality was pretty bad, so I wouldn't over-rule the refs from this angle.
I'm just here to see Brad Marchand get some karma after all the cheap, dirty bs he's done over the years…. but I have to say I was disappointed. It didn't look painful enough.
That is a two minute minor for boarding. It does not matter if you like Marchand or not. Marchand does turn his back to the play and Lubushkin does not hit him very hard but he had time to pull up and avoid the hit.
I hate Boston. I hate Brad. But that was a bad hit. Player is vulnerable and head is turned away. Should have known the player was not ready for the hit from behind. So ya, hit from behind.

From a karma standpoint, any hit on Marchand is a good hit.
Is that marchand? Oh no nothing to see here boys carry on
Clean enough. Brad Marchand has done way more dangerous hits and plays. I give Lyubushkin a pass.
The Rat was looking for some cheese and got grated.
Karma
this is inexcusable marchand should atleast get 3 days and a $25,000 fine

What goes around comes back around, any other player and its maybe dirty but against that little turd its clean and encouraged.
Marshy can take it. He'll still be able to hoist the cup.
Boarding penalty 5 minutes only even though it ,s the pest of pest,s.
Any hit on Marchand is a good hit.
Marchand was spinning around admiring his pass! Lyubushkin was just finishing off his hit.. Anytime you can hit Marchand its a good one! Rat!
Honestly I don't care. Marchand has talent but is also a cheap-shot artist and a borderline goon. He's just getting his.
That was late…
Thats beautiful
That was a thing of beauty and there can never be a dirty hit on Marchand.

It’s a clean hit. Marchand was admiring his pass.
Nothing wrong with the hit at all. It was a clean hit on a dirty player. Give him a raise instead of a penalty.

Not seeing the 'tough call'. It's boarding. Even if it IS Marchand.
He deserves it but still from behind and late
