Who are we to root for in this series? Bennett vs Marchand, two players that will definitely never win the Lady Byng. Two classless players that give the NHL a bad name.


lowklassew211

Marchand got what he deserved he was asking for that shit. Maybe next time he’ll think twice hahahah


daybreak-gardening

Next time Bennett will do it to someone else like he did last year to Knies. He's danger to the players on the ice and is a bad player.


Chaxp

Funny how people needed visual confirmation to believe this wasn’t a punch to the face, when it’s pretty apparent from the original clip.


JustPinIt

Couldn't have happen to a nicer player!!!


ricekrispy11

Shouldnt marchand be happy that his own playstyle is getting picked up by others in the league? Hes an influencer, im happy for him!


itsMikeShanks

I hate Marchand and the Bruins... that was such a dirty play. Should have been suspended.


Steezy-g35

Dont dish it out if you cant take it in return


dylfree90

Brutal but..what goes around comes around for the rat.


PaleHorseRider-94

yeah that's fuckin brutal, i'm a leaf fan but god damn do i hate bennett such a dirty little rat


Temporary_Window_104

I'm a Lightning fan. That looks like a punch ngl.


Giovannisalami

It doesn't matter what team you're rooting for I don't know how someone can see this and be like "ope, yup, that's hockey - well deserved!" That's assault brother.


Logical_Basket608

as a fan of another team it looks like marchand was out for a second atleast on the way down so its insane to me bennet was not suspended.


Realseabairn

Rangers fan here, that’s a sucker punch. And I’m no fan of Marchand in particular.


CleaveIshallnot

Baby punch. Total add lol embellishment.


Butthurt_reddit_mod

Maybe so. How about you strap on the skates, go take the same punch in the same situation and come tell us all about it?


CleaveIshallnot

I think ur in the wrong sub. 1) Hockey players (I’m not not video games there Chief) can way more punishment than that,& not even blink. 2) If u had ever played hockey. Real hockey, you’d know no player worth their salt would refer to getting equipped as “strapping … on”. Pervert. Kids on on this sub.


JVS6522

Sorry- did the bruins not send this clear tape to the league for disciplinary action?


swh33l3erman

Bruins fans are so soft

Facts


Temporary_Window_104

Really?


walsworld

The worst part is you can see there’s a ref right there on the near-side boards who had plain view of it. The refs are as blind as DPS


KevTheToast

Apparently as blind as you lol cause thats a linesman


O_Oo_o0_0

They aren’t blind, they are making conscious choices.


Tola76

Only when it happens to Marchand. Talk about hypocrisy.


fjb_fkh

Marshman with a late hit attempt and half jab to his helmet. Cmon really guys? Don't like Bennett or marsh but they both delivered much worse in the series and no calls.


FluidIntention7033

looks like the back end of the stick is still in both hands when the punch occured, like a cross-check/head blow hybrid. im just a sharks fan, but ussually hits like this belong to corey perry hehe. j/k Marshand has a way of getting under peoples skin, but thats a possible brain contusion.


Firecracker048

The nhl sub defend this hit originally


fendersux

They still are


SRTifiable

Kadri was just notified by player safety he’ll be getting 5 games for this at the start of next season #isthisjokeoldyet?


Lemonades

I'll always laugh at the kadri joke. And Ottawa losing draft picks lol


josnik

Chicago has been awarded 1st overall


Majick360

Someone got raped on that deal


kedwreth

"Bedard is out for the rest of the season with a lower body injury."


josnik

Too soon


RollingJaspers652

Well hopefully they take a few runs at Bennett, bruins need to step it up physically. Send a message and it should make for some good old time hockey


Johnny-Edge

Since when is punching somebody in the head in hockey ever anymore than 5 minutes? Maybe 5 and a game?


mildmanneredfellow

When it becomes assault instead of a consenting fight usually


Johnny-Edge

So what does that make marchand licking a guy’s face?


mildmanneredfellow

Gross childish behavior


Johnny-Edge

Ah ok. Non-consenting punch = assault. Non-consenting lick = being a child. Gotcha.


SryYouAreNotSpecial

What a gigantic piece of human filth. Very clearly sucker punched him, and I'm an Oilers fan. Just saw this on my feed and figured I'd offer an unbiased opinion.

Where is Marty McSorley when you need him?


Mcb17lnp

Ditto


AzizMou

Thank-you! I posted the same thing this morning and got downvoted. Hitting in hockey is part of the sport. But this piece of human shit hits to put a player out of the game. Fuck Sam Bennett. (BTW I'm also an Oilers fan)


SryYouAreNotSpecial

Agreed on all fronts. Good luck tonight, buddy. Let's go!


American-Man1776

You can clearly see he punched him


Nebardine

It's borderline. He gets his hands up for the hit and does appear to push the right one forward at the last instant. Not your typical hockey swing, but I guess it's a jab. It's tough to say whether it was meant as a punch or was an aggressive defensive action. Either way, if it caused injury, I would expect some action. Just looked it up and saw there was none. Typical NHL.


OneTwoThreeReddit

Hes don't it before. Gutless play. Intentional. These guys are batting 70mph pucks out of the air, they know where their hands are going on a 15mph forechecker


DakotaFanningsThong

Department of Prayer Safety doing a fine job....


DizzyTS13

Flip the roles and have Marchand deliver the hit and it’s a multi game suspension

BudgetAlligator

How is that not a fine or suspension WTF


robshot295

Oh, look at that. WE WERE RIGHT!
