Marchand hit on Bennett – Tough Call Review



Marchand hit on Bennett – Tough Call Review

I’ve been asked to do a video on the Marchand Bennett incident from the point of view of Marchand. Here’s my review.

  1. Everyone just needs to accept the fact that Florida is by far the dirtiest team in the league and that they have the league's blessing to be exactly that.

  2. Marchand is 5' 9" AND he's crouching and lifting before impact…no question in my mind he would've impacted Bennett's head had he'd been a taller player….Marchand's intent was there…he made an attempt and came up "short"… running his face into an impact defending Bennett's right hand…..laughable that any one would say Bennett should've been penalized or that Bennett's action was dirty in this attempted blind side check by Marchand

  3. Rofl. Lets go super duper slow mo, with a second angle and see if we can definitely see the right hook – oh wait nope just hands up bracing for a high hit. Marchand's shoulder looking for Bennet's jaw at 1:54. Lucky the leg contact prevented that intent to injure hit from happening because Bennet straightens out and his head goes up 2-3 inches. But here we are saying Bennet threw a hook faster that even a boxer can with his arms tucked in and almost no movement from his arm – like you would expect would happen FROM A COLLISION. Lets all go read about inelastic and elastic collisions in a physics book!
    Even at 0:19, where is the hip leading the hit??? Nope – targeting high. Bennet is lucky is left leg was out wide. Otherwise Bennet would be out with a concussion and likely losing some teeth on as his face smokes the ice.

  4. Hmm well if braddy boy went shoulder to shoulder that wouldn’t have happened. For some reason he cut in front of him🤷🏻‍♂️

  5. I never heard anybody complain about his hit on Bennett. I thought it was a clean play all around.

  6. How can you say he never left his feet, clearly he did. Also reverse angle shows Bennett used his right hand punching him

  7. Let me guess; Bruins fan? Give me a break! The RAT was coming to take a shot at Bennett, not the other way around. Bennett stood his ground and gave it right back to him! Playoff hockey. He didn’t hit him with butt end of the stick as you imply. And Marchand was out on the ice later delivering more open ice hits so come on. Your team lost! They played soft and can’t stand up against Florida’s aggressive style. It’s funny because Boston used to be known for their toughness. This is crying over spilled milk because your team is losing. Maybe if you keep trying, everyone will focus on that as a bad hit instead of how they failed to shoot the puck and your PP is totally struggling. Your D is weak as well. Swayman is only reason you’re still in this series.

    Stop crying about fake news! Bennett is the player you wish was on Boston’s team right now. He is a tough son of a bitch and that bugs people. This is what hockey players used to look like before being replaced with all finesse and razzle dazzle theatrics. This is hard nosed playoff hockey at its best!

  8. I’m sorry. I just posted rude comments before I saw there may be another video from you. I deleted my comment. I sincerely apologize. I’m just a little angry because I only now see the other angle.

  9. Ain't no way Bruins or their fans are complaining about this routine collision knowing how dirty Marchand is

  10. Interesting that you are so supportive of checking guys who don’t have the puck. With your logic, every player should do this all day long.

  11. Brad Marchand got hurt . Big deal this clown is always doing dirty shit . Got a little of his own medicine

  12. read the title guys, its about marchand hit on bennett, not about bennett's sucker punch on marchand, and if marchand wanted to hit bennett dirty, he would have low bridged bennett, like marchand always do

  13. On second look from a different angle Bennett hammered matchand with a cheap right hand and it made marchand very wobbly. I agree with others who say Bennett should have been suspended and then he scores the key goal yesterday after interfering with the defenceman cross checking him into the goaltender. WTF. 😮

    And then last night McDavid seeing a Vancouver player totally totally vulnerable facing the boards blasted him from behind. After all these years the players know not to do that. Definitely a suspendable hit. Well except this time because of who did it so nothing will happen.

  14. Merchand was trying to kill him and he’s done a lot of dirty shit in his career. You will get no sympathy out of me for this. It’s playoff hockey.

  15. Cheap shot!! No question. I can't believe you can call this clean with a straight face! You can clearly see him raise his arm up and start to throw a punch ahead of the collision. I'm not a fan of either team, I'm a Utah fan so I've got no skin in the game but it's pretty clear your eyes clouded on this one.

  16. so @tough call is the biggest bennett fans…. he doesnt see the punch lol and think this is a clean hit

  17. You must be a Panthers fan because you are not showing the other angle.
    Don’t get me wrong I don’t like Marchand, I don’t like the Bruins

  18. I would like to send Bennett a muffin basket! We should all send Bennett muffin baskets!… and Brad Marchand a box of tissues (with a floral motif, I think). HaHa
