I agree with the sentiment but I don’t think you understand what a bell curve is

Scandalous take using multiple perspectives and logic I love it

Except the third part is mostly not true. (20 min dirty plays is prob cutting it short)
There was no reverse hit, just a blatant sucker punch directly to the dome.

It’s absolutely wild how rare this take is
After watching what Bennett did to Knies last year in the playoffs, I can’t believe people think he should get away with this garbage again just because the victim is Marchand.
I don’t care how many players Marchand has speared, licked, and slewfooted over the years. You can’t have a guy who’s trying to win playoff games by giving the other team literal brain damage.

Wait, are they both out for the series?
I only ever watch the first round (Leafs fan)

Can someone link me any videos related to this? The only thing I could find was Marchand going for Bennett after he dumped the puck in the zone and it seemed like Bennett got to Marchand with an average hit after Marchand skated at him. I feel like there’s context I’m missing.

Why is the ideal outcome that both are gone for the series? Marchand didn’t do anything wrong here. So you’re saying you want him to be injured for the remainder of the series.

thats the thing about rats, they force u to play dirty, its in their nature. anything with marchand is a case of FAFO but hell always cry wolf.

Marchand is also the most punished in the league. So it’s not like he has no repercussions. Florida just looking for an easy way to injure players to make their life easier. That’s not good hockey and you won’t convince me otherwise.

Yes, clearly the high IQ take is that it was a clean hit and people are getting hysterical over one angle where it kind of looks bad.

Fuck marchand. Thank you sammy for doing the world a favour

Not a fan of either team, but here is what I would Do :
Bennett out for the rest of the playoffs. Nothing for Marchand
Routine-Budget7356
Boston was gonna lose anyway, March just a loser and using this so that Boston can blame their loss on this specific hit.
It’s a losers way of losing.

lol, he clearly punched him…
only after watching the clip at 1/1000 speed
its playoff hockey, we have to manage the game- 3 blind mice

lol Marchand went for the hit Bennett braced for it . And because Marchy missed ,his head hit the hand/stick. At the speed of the game. I don’t think this was intentional. However. Injuries suck . I don’t wish em on anyone.now Boston knows wat it’s like to not have star players in. And the “what if” comes into play. Shame leafs were not healthy all series. Might not even be in this situation. On both sides.

This event is the crossroads of a long history of the ball being dropped by George Parros and the DoPS.

It’s what happens the two dirtiest teams in the league meet each other in the playoffs. All the stick grabbing and cheap shots. The refs call maybe 5% of the penalties that could be called, and both teams try to see how much they can get away with. Injuries are going to happen.
It’s brutal hockey to try and watch.

I can’t wait for Oliver Stone to turn this into a movie with the missing Zapruder film. Back and to the Left

Accurate.

I’d make jokes about Brad Marchand, but they wouldn’t make a lick of sense.
pye-oh-my
All of the above is true. Dirty play on a dirty player .
FidelIsMyDaddy
Am I wrong in thinking that Marchand has cleaned up his game in recent years?
Also, it’s pretty nuts to say “it couldn’t have happened to a better person” … The comeuppance I want for dirty players is proper suspensions. Wishing head injuries on anyone is fucked up, I don’t care how you justify it.
