of course, because it was a devil who got hit, it was called no penalty. The officials are solemnly sworn into oath to go against the devils at all costs. (JK.) Just my opinion based off of watching games on TV (away.) And attending games as a season to go to this year and last.
That's an illegal check to the head. Pretty easy. Player even has symbology on his jersey to inidcate it: Marchand #63. The way he missed the guy's entire body and only clipped the head… Matt Cooke anyone?
That should be a match penalty for checking to the head. It's from a risky angle of approach and is delivered with an upward motion and Marchand shows no regard for the puck. Considering that Marchand has an extensive history, he should get 10 games.
it SHOULD work the same way on the knee as the head: The puck carrier has the right to evade the hit. Sticking the leg out, sticking the elbow out, changing the direction of the shoulder, elevating the body to reach the head, etc. – 2 min. penalty plus.
for once the JERK did not mean to be one. mcleod tried to dodge at last second (can't blame him) but i don't see as a penalty, why oh why can JERK never be on the receiving end????
Seems like a no-brainer suspension to me. It had all the elements they want to get rid of, it’s easy-west, blind side where he clearly extends the leg to aim for the head.
Its boarderline, he does kinda move up though, not sure why brad cant hit clean, thru the opponent, it always has to have hints of trying to injure…..shoulder to chest u fuckin scumbag…….try it….

I’d say this isn’t a penalty, but went wrong, the Devils player saw him and side stepped hitting his head on the back of the Bruin player.
A hockey hit gone wrong is still a penalty.

Penalty all the way.

head
Cheapshot artist, a disgrace to all great hockey players. Marchand is a joke to the Bruins, I hope he costs them a series
Yes, 100% penalty. They said he won’t get a hearing, which is also 100% right.
Clean hit he was committed to going shoulder to shoulder and mcleod turned
He targeted the head!! Next question. Also recidivism should work against the little sh*t.
Marchand haters gunna hate. Initial contact is shoulder to arm, didn't leave his feet, McLeod should keep his head up.
If this is a penalty just ban contact. This is missed check. Glad they didn't call anything.
That was a head shot.
5-10 games
That’s a big lose number 2 in face off percentage the McDavid of 4th liners probably a concussion hope he’s ok I hat Marchand
Brad is only 5ft 9in, Guy is playing at his height, yes he clipped his chin so tough call!! Back in the day no good todays game penalty! 🤔🤔
Intent to injure fer sure 😂
