The lack of response on the Brad Marchand play that injured Timothy Liljegren has a lot of Leafs fans upset and this video goes more into why. #hockey #nhl #torontomapleleafs
What neanderthal thinking. You cry about someone deliberately hurting someone and then you say that someone needs to go and beat up Marchand !! What is fighting if not a deliberate attempt to injure ?? I am glad the goon days are long gone. Fighting him would accomplish nothing but satisfy someone's blood lust. The reality is that going after Marchand has nothing at all to do with sticking up for a team mate, it is only revenge.
It was determined that both players were attempting to play the puck and these tie up of sticks and skate occur all the time in the league. Just because it was Brad Marchand doesn’t mean it was dirty.
Hockey "fighting" is a Canadian thing and the league has gone from about 100% Canadian 50 years ago to the point where it's below 50%, while the US is now 28%, and Europe/Asia is over 20%. It's kinda pointless to have someone grab an opponents jersey and half a one fist fight against a man wearing a helmet but "it sens a message" and gets ya 5 for fighting.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is Keefe putting the shackles on his team. Personally I don’t really care for Keefe’s coaching style, and I think the team’s loss to Florida in the second round last season is solely on him. I could go into a lot more detail re. the second round exit and why I think it’s on Keefe, but only if asked to do so as it’s water under the bridge now, but suffice to say he didn’t use the trade deadline acquisitions wisely at all and just kept icing the same tired old combinations that clearly were not working. They only needed one regulation goal in three of the four dropped lost games to avoid OT and skate away with the series. He had the assets and did not use them. One of those assets made the Leafs look sick in Nashville last week, but no that player was all washed up and only worthy of the fourth line on Keefe’s bench.
Reaves is a loud mouthed tool lol The Maple Laugh have not had a player who was skilled and could fight and stick up for his teammates since the days of Wendel Clark…

NHL RULE MAKERS MADE A STATEMENT ON THIS HIT.

Move on leafs fans
What Pat Bev said about the Raptors applies the same way to this cowardly Leafs team.
The LAFFS are back on their ish.
Colton Orr would slapped the shit out of Marchand and anyone who tried to stop him.
When your core is softer than toilet paper you have a shity team…
Stop the presses! An unhappy leafs fan! I’ve never heard of such a thing
why the fuck did we sign reaver

Like when John Scott went after kessel
Wish you cry again this year f***ing leafs fan !
It's infuriating that the NHL keeps letting Marchand get away with dirty, dangerous actions.

Lol, retribution for the hit. Liljigren was the one who delivered a hit. Marchand just stood his ground.
The laffs are pathetic
When the Leafs lose we all win.
Fire keefe. This is unacceptable.
Reaves is a loud mouthed tool lol

KEEFE GOTTA GO ITS BEEN TOO LONG !
This happens for the same reason the Leafs are not a successful playoff team. They are soft. Response should have been immediate.
