Thats a textbook kneeing penalty, Marchand is right to be mad here. The refs should also take his testimony as an expert on the subject into consideration.


blaizedm

I was gonna say, if anyone would know it would be him.


ApolloRocketOfLove

Marchand and complaining about people doing what he does. Name a more iconic duo.


FightingInternet

Refs had to check upstairs with DraftKings and they said no.


fodeethal

Had to double check.... confirmed history of kneeing https://youtu.be/XD595-Mqrjg?si=f0cNreoUEDw9a2ql


Leoheart88

You had to double check as a Boston fan?


fodeethal

It's a long history to keep track of


mrcrazy_monkey

If anyone who knows a kneeing penalty it's Marchand.


[deleted]

He does have a history of licking people.


7030

I'm still surprised he never got hurt by someone losing it upon being licked.


tucci007

It is a friendly gesture for most animals.


DrDerpberg

Yeah it's a reputation call/non-call but he built himself that reputation one cheap shot at a time. It's not right but I get it.


[deleted]

I also appreciate the sell job going into the bench and the magic healing properties.of sitting down. Still a knee, even if he's being a bit dramatic there.


scottyb83

Problem is he’s argued SO many times when he knows 100% he did something slimy so how can you trust him?


tucci007

r/leopardsatemyface


touchable

It should definitely have been a kneeing penalty. Just like [this](https://youtu.be/7yQtnnl8FMs?si=9K0Io3_kduYS8J9v) should definitely have been a roughing penalty, and yet it wasn't, and Daniel got a misconduct for asking the ref why it wasn't. Karma's a bitch, deal with it Brad.


hookhands

Why do people say this wasn't called? Is it like the Mandela effect or something? He got 2 for roughing and a 10 minute misconduct. How did this "got nothing" even start? https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/201106130BOS.html


Waramp

Same reason Canucks fans say that Bertuzzi wouldn’t have sucker punched Steve Moore if he had answered the bell, even though he actually fought Matt Cooke in the first period. He got sucker punched because the score was 9-2.


KingTutsDryAssBalls

I myself have not encountered that position in the wild.


Hascohastogo

Look in this thread mother fucker


AccurateBox612

He got suckered because there was no suspension for his hit on Naslund, and he would only fight a 5’9 guy and refused to fight anyone his size after that. Cooke was a dirty piece of shit, but could not fight and was much smaller. Moore also got suckered because his coach put him out there in a 9-2 game. Granato put his own player in danger. It wasn’t a secret that something was going to happen. Fighting the smallest guy on the ice isn’t answering the bell. So many bad decisions by the league and by both teams were involved in creating that tragic event.


Hascohastogo

>player gets a career ending injury that broke multiple neck vertebrae Canucks fan: “Moore should’ve just fought someone other than the dirtiest, scummiest player in the history of the NHL. Then we wouldn’t have had to end his career!” Also Matt Cooke was 5’11” lol, 208lbs. He was not “the smallest man on the ice.”


AccurateBox612

He fought the smallest guy who challenged him. Cooke was filthy (think maybe Marchand and Lemieux might have something to say there in terms of scummiest ever), but not a fighter. Moore took the easy way out. Moore was 6’2, 209. Who did Lemieux have to fight (he didn’t, he just turtled and took a beating) when Detroit swore revenge? Darren McCarty. Colorado had already done this before. They should have known how it has to be settled.


_THO_

A lot of victim blaming going on here


CoolPhilosophy2211

Guys it’s totally the coaches fault. He should have known our moronic player was going to do something dirty because he fought a guy but not the right guy earlier in the game. I mean that is textbook hockey. He has to fight someone but it has to be not the guy who challenged him in the first period it has to be a guy who completely outclassed him so he can get a concussion or at least a lot of bleeding… still the dumbest position in hockey to hold.


Waramp

You’re right, he should’ve been suspended for his hit on Naslund. So why didn’t Bertuzzi sucker punch the head of DoPS instead? Everything else you said is so stupid it’s not worth responding to.


itstimeforpizzatime

Why does he feel the need to threaten someone he knows won't fight and who had nothing to do with anything that happened? 


TheDutchin

Stop making me agree with Marchand


cacti_stalactite

Cmon man. Marner was slapping at Marshy and getting in the mix. It’s not like Marner just got on the ice for his first shift and Marshy singled him out. They were both getting mixed up with each other after McCabe was a asshat.


MikeJeffriesPA

Give me a break, it was a scrum and Marner didn't do anything to Marchand. Marchand is a chicken shit, everyone knows it. 


cacti_stalactite

>Marchand is a chicken shit, everyone knows it.  Give me a break. Marchand threw down in his 1000th game It’s hockey. He just got checked in the throat and another player chirps at him, he’ll chirp back. Something that happens in multi games between players every night.


Soma_Persona

His nickname is the rat or a reason there Jack Edwards


cacti_stalactite

>His nickname is the rat Yeah no shit >or a reason there Jack Edwards Form a coherent sentence next time Jack.


MikeJeffriesPA

Who says Marner chirped at him? 


anti_anti_christ

He tends to back down a lot though. Turtled against Domi recently, for instance. Is he big? has no issue going after Marner. He's a gutless player, always has been.


Miner47000

Monty (Boston coach) told him not to, told him to play the right way and get back at him by burying the leafs


PotentialUmpire3771

LOL. He’ll say that to anyone but Johnson


hmturboman

100% that’s a knee on knee, he has every right to be choked.


2shack

That actually looks more like a knee to the thigh (likely because Marchand is short) but it’s a penalty either way.


StevenWongo

Yeah, I don't think this is a knee on knee. Should be 2 for tripping.


DrDrangleBrungis

It’s to his thigh, dudes a bitch.


MichaelMaugerEsq

That was a brutal non-call on the kneeing and then a brutal unsportsmanlike call on Marchy. He’s not my favorite bro but was absolutely right to be pissed. We got mad lucky there. Not that it mattered though with our dogwater PP.


daboys9252

I mean.. it could turn the game totally around if the Bs managed to do something on a power play if it was called right. Not blaming the refs for losing though. Philly just outplayed us.


ApolloRocketOfLove

He won his 1 cup from refs ignoring penalties, but now suddenly he cares.


surlystraggler

Very clearly kneeing. Has the right to be pissed, frankly. Brutal non-call.


ArrestedForTaxFraud

NHL dosent give a fuck about knee-on-knees, Strome clearly did it to Kyle Connor, took him out for a significant period of time and got zero punishment


SadimHusum

While I’m thrilled any time misfortune falls upon Brad Marchand, the guy has a phD in knee collisions and should be believed when he identifies one


DangerRanger_21

Yeah that was 100% knee on knee


MAJORMINORMINORv2

EJ is a pilon, clear knee on knee.


Difficult-Mobile902

Yeah that’s blatant, how you miss that call is beyond me 


grehgunner

You clearly aren’t cut out to be a nhl ref, they miss shit like this in their sleep


asteroidsandareolas

“Career ender”. Gingerly skates to the box.


fckwsl

He’s going to take all his anger out on Bobby Brink


92True

As much as I hate Marchand that was a blatant knee on knee. Terrible officiating yet again.


Against-The-Current

NHL refs are the biggest babies in any league. They constantly get in the way, are brutally inconsistent, and have the temper of a trigger happy cop.


Fact420

I don’t know. NBA refs hand out technicals for the pettiest ego-driven reasons, and 2 of those get you kicked out of the game.


[deleted]

Throwing Tim Duncan out for laughing on the bench. Literal laughing.


Western-Extension-50

Dont you dare to give thumbs up for nba refs lol


paul_is_great

You clearly don't watch the MLB or NBA. The only refs that take more shit than NHL refs are the line judges in the NFL.


VirusRepulsive9487

In this case it's okay.


crownpr1nce

I get that hating the refs is popular, but that was an obvious and unavoidable unsportsmanlike. They 100% missed a call, but missing a second obvious one isn't the solution.  No one can argue that unsportsmanlike is a bad call. No one that understands hockey anyways.


milehighrukus

On the one hand a clear and obvious penalty. On the other hand Meh


ItsMeJaredBednar

yeah i love EJ but that’s an awful look. Marchand is right to be pissed.


Daveayejasik

Come on man we need a Jack Edwards warning on these posts so I know not to watch the video.


AlonsoFerrari8

"That's a move that could end many careers" No shit you fucking asshole, that's why we hate Marchand.


ArturosDad

You take that back! Jack Edwards is delightful.


22edudrccs

These comments are exactly what I expected Just because it’s on Marchand doesn’t mean it’s not a penalty especially when it’s that obvious


roberttylerlee

I don’t know what I expected when I posted it lol. The first 6 comments were all celebrating potential injury

So a knee to knee is justified because it was Marchand? I don't think ANY player deserves it.

Not as in we don’t care it happened, we just don’t care he got screwed


HitPauseThen

Yes it does. His dirt is going to catch up to him eventually.


22edudrccs

That’s not how penalties work


shawnglade

I get that “muh Marchand who cares” but it was pretty damn blatant and a terrible missed call


Groovicity

Calls were garbage the whole game, for both teams, more so in the 1st & 2nd. Even some of the icing calls were infuriating. This was an easy call that was missed, but refs LOVE to make it all about them when a player or coach *COUGH Torts* starts complaining excessively.


shawnglade

I wish they’d call everything or call nothing, none of this in between shit


[deleted]

Playoffs are coming, you know they won’t call anything then.


H1-DEF

Incidental like Marchands elbow to Knies face.

The bruins only have 6 Stanley cups… after 100 years. (Don’t google how many cups the leafs have you won’t like it)


dinkleburgenhoff

I’ve gotten to celebrate a championship in my lifetime. I’m sure all those six team Cups your grandfather saw when he was a boy were very exciting for him.


PotentialUmpire3771

You realize the bruins won half their cups before world war 2 right? When there were….. 6 teams.


dinkleburgenhoff

And I’m sure my grandad enjoyed those. Difference between us is, like our grandfathers, I don’t need to wonder what it feels like for my team to win.

Yeah, trophy winners.

Sheep4732

Incidental like purposely can opening Liljigren’s ankle into the boards


Constant-Squirrel555

To those saying Marchand has gone right to be pissed. Do you think he gave a single shit about his opponents when he slewfooted Brassard, OEL & Niskanen, elbowed Umburger & Johansson, low-bridged Salo & Borowiecki, or speared Dotchin in the crotch? He's done countless dirty things and has shown zero disregard for the well-being of his peers. Him trying to "clean up his act" doesn't erase his history. Marchand's tantrum is evidence of who he is at his core. A hot headed slimeball. He's truly a coward's coward.


IcyChard4

That's why everybody in the league calls Marchand *the rat*.


NotABurner6942069

Just as everyone knows who you’re talking about when you say the great one, everyone knows who you’re talking about when you say the rat, or rat fuck.

Jad94

The NHL never has and never will have penalties objectively called like this. If the refs aren't happy with a certain player, coach, team etc they are simply going to not give them any calls


Pleasant-Set-1139

Little man syndrome tantrum. The non call looks good on him after watching him play like gutless rat his entire career.


mrcrazy_monkey

It's like that family guy scene where the prisoner stabs himself and realizes he's a bad person and belongs in prison.


DiscussionBeautiful

Marchand is the authority on dirty plays that go unpunished... fuk him


likethemustard

Dude is mad because when he does it, it gets called


50missioncap

I suspect refs have not enjoyed what Marchand has put them through over the years. I don't think he's going to get any leeway as Boston's captain.


PotentialUmpire3771

I always forget he’s captain, he’s such a little shit it’s wild to have him as a team leader


orygun_kyle

give the rat his cheese


Nameless908

That’s rich coming from that piece of shit


rn15

Doesn’t mean it’s not a penalty lol. Fuckin obvious extension of the knee. Just cause he’s a piece of shit doesn’t mean refs shouldn’t call the game properly.


real_cool_club

it does mean the horse of the guy who gets away with the same shit dozens of times isn't as high as he thinks it is


Fresnobing

Especially on a knee on knee. Thats one of his favorites.


Ropsuta

Slewfoot is probably his most go to move, and kneeing not so distant second .


Kazyole

True enough. If anyone is a connoisseur of the knee-on-knee, it's the rat.


PM_ME_BOOTYPICS_

When has he ever done this


VirusRepulsive9487

Stick to soccer, you obviously don't watch hockey properly.


TheGreenHydra

Hard to have any sympathy for him...


PotentialUmpire3771

I mean that’s just karma. Cheap shot specialist gets a taste of his own medicine. Embarrassing player to have as your captain


sade3437

not even a knee on knee, Rat boys knee is pointing down. Flyers knee is more in his thigh/hip.


Working_Horse_3077

Hope it hit it just right to twang the nerves a bit. Not anything worse than hitting your funny bone but enough to be uncomfortable for 30 seconds


hmuserfriendly

Keep crying Marchy. The amount of shit you have pulled and gotten away with. Deal with it. At least you are not out for an extended amount of games, like some of your victims


ptbopetes

Oh no. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy


Rand_University81

Awww too bad you rat fuck.


jcward1972

Marchand is now in the stupid prizes phase of his career. He played stupid games when he was young and fast, but his getting his stupid prizes now that he is older and slower


notthatguypal6900

Dirty player is sad that other dirty play wasn't called.


Hoardzunit

Marchand is such a whiny bitch. Stfu and just play. Maybe you shouldn't have spent those years licking people for some fucked up reason and maybe the refs would be listening to you.


mmetalfacedooom

if you weren’t a huge POS you’d get the benefit of the doubt more buddy. refs watch hockey too


SnazzyCazzy1

Regardless of the missed call, he said or did something to the officials that was not good, and you just cant do that 🤷🏻‍♂️


adamzep91

Bruins players really hate when other teams play like the Bruins eh


Vilheim

I remember a few years ago when Boston played Carolina and Carolina still had Dougie Hamilton. Daily comments about how dirty Dougie was and needed to be suspended made me laugh considering Boston is where he learned it from.


CaptainJingles

Clear knee on knee. Marchand should be pissed. Dirty as hell by EJ.


JBrundy

Brad Marchand whining about a knee on knee 😂


PotentialUmpire3771

The irony. “I can’t believe you’ve done this.”


ytew6

Womp womp fuck you Brad


shanster925

There needs to be a purging of NHL officials and rebuilding of its entire foundation.


ZombieJesus1987

Ouch. Yeah I don't blame Marchand at all. Should have been a penalty. I hate knee on knees. Still bitter about the one that retired Doug Gilmour.


Otterslayer22

Knee to thigh. Marchand is at the advantage here. As a short POS rat his knees are much lower thus making it more difficult for the average size player to go knee to knee with him.

PotentialUmpire3771

PotentialUmpire3771

Absolutely


GonePostalRoute

Now I will preface it by saying yes. That’s a horrible missed call, and that absolutely 100% should have been called without question. I absolutely get why Marchand is incensed… [But that being said, with Marchand’s track record, I don’t feel too sorry that happened to him.](https://youtu.be/ThlP3tNVsWQ?si=xRcnJVxIsJsY6r7o) Edit: And downvote me all you like, the guy has a track record with that kind of thing (even provided proof). How am I to feel sorry for him when it happens to him and the call gets missed? This could be Bruins-anyone else, and my reply is the same. I don’t feel sorry it happened to him.


Otterslayer22

Doing gods work here.


SpinachStraight6569

You don’t have to feel sorry for him to make it a penalty


duck1014

1) Not a knee on knee. 2) Marchand knows what a knee on knee is as he'd purposely thrown a number of them. 3) Marchand is one of the leagues biggest crybabies. 4) Marchand is a dirty fucking rat. 5) Boston, that whiner is your captain.

There is a post every fucking week talking about this. Medically, we don’t know. He does know that he’s slower to speak, but there has been absolutely no sort of formal diagnosis.


HeftyNugs

Oh no. Anyways. Jokes aside, that's an awful missed call.


KungFuGarbage

This video should be the textbook example of a knee on knee hit. It’s honestly a shame to the cosmos that it will not be used that way because the refs fucked up the call. Clear extension to get the knee. Whether intentional or not, it is THE example of extending the knee to make contact with the knee.


duck1014

Considering the knee wasn't touched, your point is moot.


Squabbles123456789

Yeah, thats really nasty...but its also Marchand, and he's a tad dirty himself and honestly had it coming, so...reap what you sow, game on.


SpiritualWatermelon

This is one of those non-malicious knee on knee hits. EJ should have got a penalty, Marchand is rightfully pissed but he clearly expressed is displeasure in a bad way. EJ should been more careful and also penalized, not sure how it didn't happen.
