The Tailgate

Now, let me start this with I hate Brad Marchand, always hated Brad Marchand and that will never change no matter what he does but.....for this to be a 6 game sussy? I don't know man, I think the NHL got this one wrong.....again. The NHL released a statement saying he got 6 games because he was a repeat offender. Are we honest to god doing this? It can't be real. A repeat offender? Yes, 200% Marchand is a scumbag, a piece of shit and a rat. Honestly, yeah....he is a repeat offender but when the fuck was the last time he got suspended? PK Subban has literally spent the year going into the corner and slewfooting people, literally about 4-5 times this year its happened and he barely got touched by the league. Are going to talk about Tom Wilson? All the bullshit that fucking guy pulls? Doesn't get touched, the whole bullshit he pulled against the Rangers last year and nothing happened to him, legit nothing, no suspension, fucking I honestly don't even know if the fucking guy had a hearing with the league. Tom Wilson is treated like a superstar and runs roughshod over the league and they do nothing about it. Yes, I'm not sitting here and saying Marchand is an angel, in fact he's far far from it. Marchand has been known for years, for his slewfoots, his knee to knee hits and a slew of other bullshit. But I feel for the most part he's been pretty good(for the most part). Now on Tuesday night there was a scrum in front of the Penguins net, Jarry covered up the puck after playing phenomenal all night. Out of nowhere Marchand throws a right to the helmet of Jarry, Jarry for sure oversold it a bit buttttt Marchand did it none the less. It seemed like a pure frustration move by Marchand it was uncalled for most definitely but I would say maybe a 2-3 game suspension would have been appropriate. In my opinion 6 games is too much and it seems like the league is just trying to make an example out of Marchand. The fact it was a goalie he punched sure as fuck didn't help the matter at all. I just don't think the league got it right this time but then again when the fuck do they? There literally is no precedent set for suspensions in the NHL and it kind of just seems like they suspend people for however many games they feel like. The league needs to figure out the length of suspensions so they at least make fucking sense at the end of the day. The video of the incident is down below, you be the judge.
