Brad Marchand took Timothy Liljegren out and the player would be very injured. We'll talk that and the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins on today's NHL hockey video!
It's called ethics and sportsmanship. We don't go around murdering people because it's illegal, or against the law. Most people refrain because it's not in their nature. Most hockey players don't commit penalties to injure their opponents. This cannot be said of Brad Marchand.

Read the player safety reports. Brad Marchand hasn't actually committed an actual infraction since 2015 - 16 season. His latest suspensions have been based on appearance and reputation for the past 6 years. The New York Rangers complained about the arbitrary nature of the player safety committee and they were fined a quarter million dollars This has been going across the league to other players, but Brad Marchand often speaks up for other players like those being denied going to the olympics, He made a polite joke when a reporter asked him about Canadian fans - and after both of those media events he receives suspensions based on reputation and appearance of infractions that happened years prior And if you read the job description of the player safety commissioner - is to monitor the behavior and activities of NHL hockey players both on the ice and off Brad Marchand shut his twitter account down before playoffs this past year because he gets suspended for his tweets. And he always manages to say something to NHL doesn't like late winter or before playoffs the last few years. You're going to find out that this guy has been a pinata for the NHL - he cleaned up his act. His own fans weren't going to tolerate that years ago... But I seriously want you to start reading player safety reports - the next time one of your team players get suspended, you watch the play - read the actual report to see how they describe it It just might leave you scratching your head Behind the scenes, Brad Marchand is a nice guy - he's very passionate and he looks dirty and unusual because he doesn't back off where other players do. Every time he takes the ice, George parros has you trained to assume he's going to do something dirty So you totally miss everything else that's going on Like the fact that Lily was not playing the puck, he turned his head to look directly at Brad marchand, slid his body in front of his life and he wasn't tracking the puck. That was his mistake, along with initiating contact Look at the video - his head is sideways looking at Brad Marchand while Brad's head is forward tracking a puck That's where Lily screwed up. Live and learn, don't do it again. Hope he has a successful recovery You don't play Brad marchand, you play the damn Puck so he gets called on the tripping.

He intentionally placed his stick, as Eck points out, left foot was NOT stopping. Absolute intentional can-opener. Suspension worthy for sure, but as per usual, DoPS are morons.

Wasn't really a slewfoot, more of a can opener though he definitely tried for the slewfoot too. Anyone who says this isn't a dirty play is just trolling leafs fans lol

@@AwesomeNuke okay, I'm literally a Sabres fan, Marchand does this all the time and everyone's seen him do it. if a player this consistently goes into puck battles with his stick jammed between the other player's legs and his leg in perfect position for a slewfoot he's a dangerous player whether he's doing it on purpose or is just the clumsiest man alive.
I think the skate contact was incidental but, it definitely looked like Marchand was holding his left foot up with his stick. I mean Liljegren's stick is in Marchand's stomach so it's not like he's trying to lift his stick.
@@cmac3530imagine how hard it would be for Marchand to stop there with his stick on the ice. See the angle his legs have to be at? His upper body would’ve had to be almost folded in half for his stick to not come up. It’s an unfortunate situation that’s all.
@@dronemachine4694 Dude, I'm a Bruins fan as well, just face it, sometimes Marchy does some dumb things... Even assuming you're 100% right, he could've allowed the stick to rotate in his hands, or let go on his lower hand. You can't tell me he didn't feel Liljegren pushing down on his stick blade with his foot.
@@cmac3530he 100% does dirty shit sometimes, that’s why it’s so important to defend him on this one. There is so little time for him to react in a way you suggest and it would be unrealistic to expect him to. There’s absolutely no chance he took him out on purpose there.
I honestly can't believe that the Leafs have Reaves, Bertuzzi and Domi and somehow they're even SOFTER than they were last year. Like seriously they're the softest team I've ever seen in my life.
@@joshuagray5094 and the next time marchand meets with him he's going to have McAvoy & Looooch! in his back pocket.

@@TheFoolintherainn I’m not even a leafs fan, just saying what I heard and hoping for fireworks either way. Boston fans are literally the worst, like a plague that loves low IQ hockey.

@@joshuagray5094 well you got as many jabs in as possible. I'm still standing 🙄 Yes, Boston fans are Mass-holes. nasty corrupt state That's why I'm an original sixer in Alaska. I've been wearing black & gold since Bobby Orr. We grew up playing hockey, I coached Why don't you tell us what the rules are Under this page I've heard slewfoot, can opener, tripping, boarding? But you're coming after me because I'm citing actual rules, I'm quoting actual players safety reports, showing you how much money the NHL makes off of Brad Marchand and keeps up this image. Duh????? But we can't educate the uneducable. You haven't presented any facts, stats, data - description of any infraction out of an NHL regulation book You're not discussing with me which way he's looking, you're not debating whether he skated in front of Brad Marchand going after the player not the puck But you're going to question the IQ of other people? Huh? We're supposed to believe you because of your feeeeelings? And something you heard on for-profit clickbait media? And you're not naming your colors. You're not telling us who your team is? So I guess we're done here. There's nothing to discuss because I'm not here to discuss your feelings. I'm here to talk facts You're not capable of doing so I'm sorry your education system failed you.
Marchand clearly hit him and knocked him off balance before he fell into the boards, plays like this happened everyday except the players typically don’t get outsized by Marchand. Was not a slew foot at all
A single game suspension goes a long way here, more for repeat offenders. Just give the tiniest indication that you actually care to remove this bullshit. And I hate how the NHL playoffs has become "let's see all the creative ways we can injure opponents without actually getting suspended/penalized".
It's a clean play where one player engaged, and got outmuscled by the other. Just remember, this clean but unfortunate play is getting more outrage than when a player got intentionally kicked in the neck, and died 5mins later.
Just like the Bruins to give the captaincy to a good and responsible guy like Past... oh, so you want a captain who disappears and has a hard time taking criticism (his shootout attempt) and also has a history of.. Oh he did it against the Leafs? Great captain, just as good as he thought Justin Williams was
The fact that the Maple Leafs didnt send someone out to even this since it wasnt called is disgraceful. Almost as disgraceful as the NHL still allowing this rat to play
Everybody in the world thought Brad did something awful (He didnt, people are just jealous and hate him) except the Ref who watched the play all the way and player safety who looked it over a hundred times from different angles. If they seen nothing maybe, just maybe, in the ultra fast game of Hockey the Leafs player went aggressively into the boards and hurt himself. Everybody keep on crying though just maybe eventually if you cry loud enough a Marchand suspension will magically form out of thin air to soothe your delicate little hurt feelings. #FnBabies
I don’t believe this was intentional. If you look closely the skates only colladie after the recoils of the bump causing a bad footing (FYI I’m a bruins fans so I acknowledge that I’m biased”
There is a reason why this 1. Wasn’t called 2. Sparked no reaction from Leafs. Liligren initiated the hit. He would have won the ouck eace but he decided to cut back and box out Marchand, which is fair and legal of him to do. But if you watch in slow motion from the back angle, Marchand’s skate doesn’t actually kick out Liligren’s leg at all. Once hit, Marchand goes into a traditional “hockey stop” position to maintain balance which is why is front leg is so extended, hence looking like a common slu-foot. In regard to his stick, again there is not enough to determine whether or not this is intentional, considering the stick tie-up that occurs as the hit takes place. Its just as likely that Marchand gets his stick caught and when trying to lift it free towards the puck, Liligren is “tripped” because all of his weight is on his right skate from the hit. Keep in mind, we can watch this over and over in slow motion, but just because a player falls awkwardly into the boards, it doesn’t mean its always a penalty, especially considering that Liligren decidedly initiated the awkward contact.
Wrote this to another video but gonna post it here too. I am a fan of Boston however not so much fan of Marchand. He has done plenty of questionable things but this one is not amongst them. He was going straight to the puck, Liljegren went in his way and put his own right leg in front of Marchand's left. After the initial collision Marchand was only using his skates to brake and not to go full speed into the boards. Check the slow mo video again if you don't see that. 0:34 You said it yourself. Look at Marchand's left leg. Liljegren went into Marchand's way and he had no other way to use his left leg to brake other than stretch it forward since he would be stomping on Liljegren's ankle from the outside otherwise. 0:43 ... that one's trying to slow down and stop yet his left does nothing similar. Watch what would happen if he would twist it the same way as his right leg. He would just grab his foot straight up. Srsly have you ever skated in your life?
He's not just stopping, he's also wide stance for stability specifically for a wall-battle, and he's moving forward and left to follow the puck's movement. That's why his feet are not fully angled for a stop or out in front of him. This play is literally just "Marchand tries to stop while getting to the puck, feet unfortunately get tangled, Liljegran goes down awkwardly" I hate that Liljegran got hurt, and I would put money on Marchand also feeling that way. it's pretty clear, if you've ever tried to skate in on a puck on the wall that he's just being stable and trying to stop. There are some times where slow motion and stop frames just don't help. They don't tell what the story of the feet are doing accurately. His left foot, because it gets tangled, cannot bring the toes in enough to properly stop, hence those stop frames looking like he's pushing forward, instead of toes in. There's a LOT going on here. Hockey is hard.
That was probably the cleanest way to put someone on their ass in the corner. I'd rather be slew footed than be checked from behind. Getting checked from behind is the dirtiest thing in the sport....
Can someone explain to me why someone doesn’t pound the shit out of this 5’9” 180lb ratty forward? Like legit? Nobody in the entire NHL will make him answer for this? I understood when Chara had his back but now what? I truly don’t get it.
He's attempting to block Marchand from getting to the puck but his legs are more spread out than the great Wall of China. How're you gonna stop even if no one's there? He's practically setting himself up for a leg sweep. Also why's he sticking his skate up to the wall so it gets bent the wrong way? That's on buddy for not thinking that through but Marchand has a bad history. Still though, was as intentional as a squirrel running out on the road at the last possible second.
Bro i absolutely agree marchand is notorious for this crap. It was definitely deliberate especially after his history. You lose the benefit of the doubt after you do this time and time again. Nothing is ever coincidental with that guy. And the entire leafs bench needs to be brought back to earth after doing absolutely nothing to stand up for your teammate. Thats disgraceful especially bc its marchand and the bruins.
I’m always wanting the best for the leafs but that’s why they will never win this year. You can’t win a cup when your team doesn’t do anything about that. The leafs should have jumped him after that but instead they sat back and did nothing. You can’t sit back and let your boy get injured like that from a dirty play. It’s early in the season and the leafs are sitting in a playoff spot at that point you say fuck the game and the score time to retaliate. No one is gonna wanna play on a team where you feel no one has your back. I love the leafs they are my 2nd fav team but they’ll never win with that lack of character All that skill ain’t shit if you don’t play with grit heart and character
Reeves ain't scoring so next game a hard cross check to his head up against glass would lose him 3 games but avenge the team & teach rats to be less rat like
What a bunch of babies By the time Marchand’s foot even connects with Lil; Lil is all rag doll with one leg in the air cause he can’t keep his edge battling with the machine Marchand. He’s gotta stop too and try not to go into the boards and clearly can’t turn that left foot any more because Lil has all his wait on the one foot lmao They are both locked with their legs/feet and both need to stop last second and Lil just couldn’t handle the pressure and rag dolled into the boards….
Are you blind? His leg is in the air because Marchand's stick is wedged in there :22 second in and pause it. Marchand has his stick between Liljegren's legs and is using leverage to lift his leg. Marchand is a fucking clown like Matt Cooke was back in the day.
To be clear, he barely touched him with the skate, but the can opener was typical dirty play by Marchand and he deserves to sit 4 games. It's also typical soft play by the Leafs and I fully expect another first round exit. I expected this season would be different with the additions but it's the same story, and I'm not watching it anymore.
As per usual DoPS dropped the ball with an opportunity to make up for the lack of obvious call. Rat will always rat; I can't believe he's a Captain, absolute disgrace. Should have been min 5 games, probably more as a repeat offender.
When it comes to Marchand the league needs to step in here and give him a choice. He can make dirty plays like this and miss significant time, or clean his act up and captain his team.
Marchy's left skate WAS trying to help him stop (or at least on a path to where it would be in a position to help him stop) UNTIL lili's skate forced it outwards
Definitely dont think it was intentional. He started to slow down and back into Marchand and it was just a collision from there. Watching it slowed down even more, you can see it. At the point everyone's saying Marchand kicked his left leg out, he just took a shoulder to the chest/side before that and was trying not to fall down. Liljegren just put himself in a really bad position and it didn't end well.
Honestly find it disgusting how such a goon can be captin. I understand a need for enforcers still but the culture has changed since the pre-00's and he just gives hockey a bad rep.
I honestly don't know how player safety isn't screaming at the league. You can clearly see Marchand has his stick hooking the left skate while he ties up the right. Marchand should sit every game that Lilegren is out. Then double it the next time Marchand injury's a player.
Marchand hasn’t really been a dirt bag in a few years. An agitator? Yes. Dirt bag, no. A lot of people are just triggered anytime anything little happens with him.
Why would he stop if the NHL isn't going to penalize it?
why steal somebody’s wallet if you don’t get caught, sure maybe you get a little bit ahead but you’re still a piece of shit
Simply because he is injuring other players...

Reaves talked a big game in his post game interview but if they thought there was intent in the moment Reaves would have found a way to get back at him later in the game.
He intentionally placed his stick, as Eck points out, left foot was NOT stopping. Absolute intentional can-opener. Suspension worthy for sure, but as per usual, DoPS are morons.
It's the Leafs, of course they didn't do anything lol
@@jferoxWatch the end of the video when Debrusk is stopping, they look exactly the same.
He's been suspended 3 times in his career for slew footing opponents, he knew exactly what he was doing and it was absolutley intentional.
@@andrewgrant2948 Too bad your name isn’t George Parros 🙄
Whether it's intentional or not, based on the entirety of reality Marchand doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt.

Most pathetic response imaginable.
@@t-swizzle8102the dude is literally the most suspended player in NHL history. And for what? Not a single one of his suspensions were worth it and all the incidents that involved his suspensions were nothing short of rat behavior. The guy is hated for a reason.

It wasn’t dirty bud
Love watching Marchand make you Canadians so mad because y’all can’t win a game
@jamesongoodridge6638 Canadian??? I'm sorry but we've actually won three cups this millennium, we are on the opposite side of the country from Canada lmaoooo
Wasn't really a slewfoot, more of a can opener though he definitely tried for the slewfoot too. Anyone who says this isn't a dirty play is just trolling leafs fans lol
"Anyone who says this isn't a dirty play is just trolling leafs fans"
Or just a hockey fan that understands the game is fast and incidental contacts happen.
@@AwesomeNuke Stuff def happens, but when its from a dirt bag that does shit all the time, its less likely to just be an accident.
@@akuai4408One of the smallest players in the league who plays with more grit, determination, and intensity than guys MUCH bigger than he is. If you were a man and not a giant 🐈, you'd realize that you sound like a broad on her period.
@@AwesomeNuke shhhhhhhh you are ruining their cry session
@@AwesomeNuke okay, I'm literally a Sabres fan, Marchand does this all the time and everyone's seen him do it. if a player this consistently goes into puck battles with his stick jammed between the other player's legs and his leg in perfect position for a slewfoot he's a dangerous player whether he's doing it on purpose or is just the clumsiest man alive.
with that play i think that he didnt start the puck battle with the intent, but quickly recognized where it was going and didnt do anything to stop it
The title may as well be The sky is blue
How about this, is there ANY EXAMPLE of Marchand making an effort to prevent an injury by letting up on a player who is in a vulnerable position?
THAT is question people should be asking.
You wouldn’t see it if he had anyway. What a dumb thing to say
I think the skate contact was incidental but, it definitely looked like Marchand was holding his left foot up with his stick. I mean Liljegren's stick is in Marchand's stomach so it's not like he's trying to lift his stick.
Leg is off the ice before the stick even touches it.
@@dronemachine4694 Agreed but, when Liljegren went to put it back down Marchy held it up.
@@cmac3530imagine how hard it would be for Marchand to stop there with his stick on the ice. See the angle his legs have to be at? His upper body would’ve had to be almost folded in half for his stick to not come up. It’s an unfortunate situation that’s all.
@@dronemachine4694 Dude, I'm a Bruins fan as well, just face it, sometimes Marchy does some dumb things... Even assuming you're 100% right, he could've allowed the stick to rotate in his hands, or let go on his lower hand. You can't tell me he didn't feel Liljegren pushing down on his stick blade with his foot.
@@cmac3530he 100% does dirty shit sometimes, that’s why it’s so important to defend him on this one. There is so little time for him to react in a way you suggest and it would be unrealistic to expect him to. There’s absolutely no chance he took him out on purpose there.
that was 100% intentional. He knew exactly what he was doing.
x for doubt
Not a slew foot but pretty much the same thing. He used his stick to sweep the defenders legs out.
“ICE UP SON ICE UP”
he didnt rly stick his legs out they just got tied up
I honestly can't believe that the Leafs have Reaves, Bertuzzi and Domi and somehow they're even SOFTER than they were last year.
Like seriously they're the softest team I've ever seen in my life.
Reeves said that he is waiting until he and Marchand are on the ice next time, that he’s lucky he wasn’t on the ice
@@joshuagray5094 and the next time marchand meets with him he's going to have McAvoy & Looooch! in his back pocket.
My daddy can beat up your daddy? 🙄
Do you know that Brad Marchand plays hardest in Toronto cuz he loves silencing those fans? He has said it directly on microphone in front of cameras... Bring it on!
He's only going to play better
How about we just play hockey-Leafs need to play the puck not play Brad marchand next time.
@@TheFoolintherainn I’m not even a leafs fan, just saying what I heard and hoping for fireworks either way. Boston fans are literally the worst, like a plague that loves low IQ hockey. Marchand could be so much of a better player if he cut the nonsense but I guess he needs chuck McAvoy and lucic to rescue the rat once again
@@joshuagray5094 well you got as many jabs in as possible. I'm still standing

Why don't you tell us what the rules are
Under this page I've heard slewfoot, can opener, tripping, boarding?
But you're coming after me because I'm citing actual rules, I'm quoting actual players safety reports, showing you how much money the NHL makes off of Brad Marchand and keeps up this image.
Duh?????
But we can't educate the uneducable.
You haven't presented any facts, stats, data - description of any infraction out of an NHL regulation book
You're not discussing with me which way he's looking, you're not debating whether he skated in front of Brad Marchand going after the player not the puck
But you're going to question the IQ of other people?
Huh?
We're supposed to believe you because of your feeeeelings?
And something you heard on for-profit clickbait media?
And you're not naming your colors. You're not telling us who your team is?
So I guess we're done here. There's nothing to discuss because I'm not here to discuss your feelings. I'm here to talk facts
You're not capable of doing so
I'm sorry your education system failed you.
Marchand clearly hit him and knocked him off balance before he fell into the boards, plays like this happened everyday except the players typically don’t get outsized by Marchand. Was not a slew foot at all
If the bench didn't do anything I imagine Brad was pleading his case to them for the Last Bing
marchand is a pro at injuring other players biggest rat fuck in the leauge, at least we got to see him cry last year
The Lightning @ Sens game is a game id like you to cover please.
yes!
This wasn’t even dirty. It’s funny how he lives rent free in all your heads. What a day it will be when he goes into the HOF.
Marchand can-openered him before he slew footed him..... a Marchand double tap.
No slew foot there so nice try
@@paddy55 a can opener going high speed into the boards is enough of a dirty play bozo
@@alexgilbert1811 Liljegren initiated the contact. Sometimes you get what you ask for.
U can literally see Liljegren make a move towards Marchand which is what causes the contact. He just keeps skating forward. Not intentional.
Do you not see Brad's stick being used as a can opener to trip Timothy? The slew foot is just icing.
@@PaulMarangoni Obviously have no clue what a slew foot is
The bench part is funny though😂
if you want the game to be better you have to get crap like this out. i said it in the last cheap shot video. you may have to have on on ice policing.
A single game suspension goes a long way here, more for repeat offenders. Just give the tiniest indication that you actually care to remove this bullshit. And I hate how the NHL playoffs has become "let's see all the creative ways we can injure opponents without actually getting suspended/penalized".
Saddening how teammates nowdays do nothing when shit like this happens.
Kraken did this the other day too, it’s infuriating. Defend your teammate!!!
Milennials...the softest generation in human history.
@@craigharrison5406 You realize anyone born after 1996 isn't a millennial, so a large chunk of the team.
Ya you're right ...throw Gen Z in there too. they are both soft AF.@@drew651
It's a clean play where one player engaged, and got outmuscled by the other.
Just remember, this clean but unfortunate play is getting more outrage than when a player got intentionally kicked in the neck, and died 5mins later.
okay user-zchinmgchong
Clean? Only in the movie Slapshot. Not in the NHL.
@@PaulMarangoni 100% clean
Just like the Bruins to give the captaincy to a good and responsible guy like Past... oh, so you want a captain who disappears and has a hard time taking criticism (his shootout attempt) and also has a history of.. Oh he did it against the Leafs? Great captain, just as good as he thought Justin Williams was
This would qualify as a tripping major. He tripped the player recklessly in a dangerous position.
#37 engaged the contact.
The fact that the Maple Leafs didnt send someone out to even this since it wasnt called is disgraceful. Almost as disgraceful as the NHL still allowing this rat to play
Everybody in the world thought Brad did something awful (He didnt, people are just jealous and hate him) except the Ref who watched the play all the way and player safety who looked it over a hundred times from different angles. If they seen nothing maybe, just maybe, in the ultra fast game of Hockey the Leafs player went aggressively into the boards and hurt himself. Everybody keep on crying though just maybe eventually if you cry loud enough a Marchand suspension will magically form out of thin air to soothe your delicate little hurt feelings. #FnBabies
I don’t believe this was intentional. If you look closely the skates only colladie after the recoils of the bump causing a bad footing (FYI I’m a bruins fans so I acknowledge that I’m biased”
There is a reason why this 1. Wasn’t called 2. Sparked no reaction from Leafs.
Liligren initiated the hit. He would have won the ouck eace but he decided to cut back and box out Marchand, which is fair and legal of him to do. But if you watch in slow motion from the back angle, Marchand’s skate doesn’t actually kick out Liligren’s leg at all. Once hit, Marchand goes into a traditional “hockey stop” position to maintain balance which is why is front leg is so extended, hence looking like a common slu-foot.
In regard to his stick, again there is not enough to determine whether or not this is intentional, considering the stick tie-up that occurs as the hit takes place. Its just as likely that Marchand gets his stick caught and when trying to lift it free towards the puck, Liligren is “tripped” because all of his weight is on his right skate from the hit.
Keep in mind, we can watch this over and over in slow motion, but just because a player falls awkwardly into the boards, it doesn’t mean its always a penalty, especially considering that Liligren decidedly initiated the awkward contact.
I don’t think any real Bruins fan though that he would change with a C, its what rest of the league assumed 😅
The stick was between the legs, but the foot didn't trip him
The slew foot is too hard to call but the can opener is clearly on purpose and a dirty play.
Wrote this to another video but gonna post it here too. I am a fan of Boston however not so much fan of Marchand. He has done plenty of questionable things but this one is not amongst them. He was going straight to the puck, Liljegren went in his way and put his own right leg in front of Marchand's left. After the initial collision Marchand was only using his skates to brake and not to go full speed into the boards. Check the slow mo video again if you don't see that.
0:34 You said it yourself. Look at Marchand's left leg. Liljegren went into Marchand's way and he had no other way to use his left leg to brake other than stretch it forward since he would be stomping on Liljegren's ankle from the outside otherwise.
0:43 ... that one's trying to slow down and stop yet his left does nothing similar. Watch what would happen if he would twist it the same way as his right leg. He would just grab his foot straight up.
Srsly have you ever skated in your life?
this is the most borderline slew foot I’ve ever seen
He's not just stopping, he's also wide stance for stability specifically for a wall-battle, and he's moving forward and left to follow the puck's movement. That's why his feet are not fully angled for a stop or out in front of him. This play is literally just "Marchand tries to stop while getting to the puck, feet unfortunately get tangled, Liljegran goes down awkwardly"
I hate that Liljegran got hurt, and I would put money on Marchand also feeling that way. it's pretty clear, if you've ever tried to skate in on a puck on the wall that he's just being stable and trying to stop.
There are some times where slow motion and stop frames just don't help. They don't tell what the story of the feet are doing accurately. His left foot, because it gets tangled, cannot bring the toes in enough to properly stop, hence those stop frames looking like he's pushing forward, instead of toes in.
There's a LOT going on here. Hockey is hard.
Nice to see NHL Player Safety do nothing except suspend players for clean hits. 😂
Yeah it's crazy that he seemingly hasn't gotten a call for this
That was probably the cleanest way to put someone on their ass in the corner. I'd rather be slew footed than be checked from behind. Getting checked from behind is the dirtiest thing in the sport....
as a bruins fan idk if it was intentional but he definitely deserves a 10 game suspension for the slew foot
Can someone explain to me why someone doesn’t pound the shit out of this 5’9” 180lb ratty forward? Like legit? Nobody in the entire NHL will make him answer for this? I understood when Chara had his back but now what? I truly don’t get it.
This is a fifty fifty call. They both tried to get each other.
That was a 5 and a game + 2 game suspension. For Wes McCauley and the League that was just another great hockey play.
I hear all the time how the NHL wants to sell hockey, well this proves bowling is a step a bove hockey in the United States🤣
He could have paralyzed the guy....WTF?.Thats a fight bro!
Imagine all the enforces back in the days that would see red immediately like a terminator. Release Tie Domi on him, sign him for one game :P.
So did liljegren break his ankle there? It looked a lot like he broke his ankle
This was a lot less dirty than the Charlie hit for sure.
He's attempting to block Marchand from getting to the puck but his legs are more spread out than the great Wall of China. How're you gonna stop even if no one's there? He's practically setting himself up for a leg sweep. Also why's he sticking his skate up to the wall so it gets bent the wrong way? That's on buddy for not thinking that through but Marchand has a bad history. Still though, was as intentional as a squirrel running out on the road at the last possible second.
“If your nickname is lily pad you deserve to get slew footed” - hockey gods
People also realize that the game is played on ice right and ice is slippery? Ok just checking.
Someone got get him good this year
lol Liljegren was already falling before Marchand even touched him. Watch it in slo-mo and you'll see.
1000% a deliberate slew foot
Learn what a slew foot is first before using the term
I was watching the game, cant believe the leafs didnt even get a power play :/
Bro i absolutely agree marchand is notorious for this crap. It was definitely deliberate especially after his history. You lose the benefit of the doubt after you do this time and time again. Nothing is ever coincidental with that guy. And the entire leafs bench needs to be brought back to earth after doing absolutely nothing to stand up for your teammate. Thats disgraceful especially bc its marchand and the bruins.
He wouldn't have lasted 2-3 years in the 70s-80s
I’m always wanting the best for the leafs but that’s why they will never win this year. You can’t win a cup when your team doesn’t do anything about that. The leafs should have jumped him after that but instead they sat back and did nothing. You can’t sit back and let your boy get injured like that from a dirty play. It’s early in the season and the leafs are sitting in a playoff spot at that point you say fuck the game and the score time to retaliate. No one is gonna wanna play on a team where you feel no one has your back. I love the leafs they are my 2nd fav team but they’ll never win with that lack of character All that skill ain’t shit if you don’t play with grit heart and character
That was slick greasy move by the Rat.
It also shows the Maple Leafs lack of backbone or any kind of push or gumption😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Reeves ain't scoring so next game a hard cross check to his head up against glass would lose him 3 games but avenge the team & teach rats to be less rat like
No penalty, shows you the state of nhl ref association, they can be bought,and so can Parros
The fact Marchand is captain of the Bruins is almost as bad as when David Backes was the captain of the Blues.
Marchand may have the reputation, but in this situation, was not at the fault
Someone needs to clean his clock
m.czcams.com/video/2Rpk0JlVZ4I/video.html&pp=ygUWcGsgc3ViYmFuIGhpdCBtYXJjaGFuZA%3D%3D
You cant seriously say thats intentional, it happens in one second. Connor Mcdavid doesn't have that reaction time, let alone Marchand.
Eck is just a fanboy
It's clickbait. More clicks = more $$$
Marchand has been Slewfooting people for over a decade. He's figured out how to do it more subtly because he received so many suspensions for it.
do you know how fast some peoples let alone a pro athletes reaction time can be?
You're joking. That's a blatant can-opener. Every time Marchand does stuff like this people always have an excuse.
The stick is between his legs, lifting up his left legs then slew foots him. Wes mccauley needs to lose his job.
What a bunch of babies
By the time Marchand’s foot even connects with Lil; Lil is all rag doll with one leg in the air cause he can’t keep his edge battling with the machine Marchand.
He’s gotta stop too and try not to go into the boards and clearly can’t turn that left foot any more because Lil has all his wait on the one foot lmao
They are both locked with their legs/feet and both need to stop last second and Lil just couldn’t handle the pressure and rag dolled into the boards….
Are you blind? His leg is in the air because Marchand's stick is wedged in there :22 second in and pause it. Marchand has his stick between Liljegren's legs and is using leverage to lift his leg. Marchand is a fucking clown like Matt Cooke was back in the day.
To be clear, he barely touched him with the skate, but the can opener was typical dirty play by Marchand and he deserves to sit 4 games.
It's also typical soft play by the Leafs and I fully expect another first round exit. I expected this season would be different with the additions but it's the same story, and I'm not watching it anymore.
Old school Chucky e cheese Rat like from the 70s
i wanna see how many games that would be if it was bunting. refs are awful this year
Marchand is great. Love to watch him play.
same i love it
As per usual DoPS dropped the ball with an opportunity to make up for the lack of obvious call. Rat will always rat; I can't believe he's a Captain, absolute disgrace.
Should have been min 5 games, probably more as a repeat offender.
Marchand and the Bruins are genuinely hard to like. I really tried guys but they're just so slimey
When it comes to Marchand the league needs to step in here and give him a choice. He can make dirty plays like this and miss significant time, or clean his act up and captain his team.
Refs and the nhl have failed again, no shock whatsoever.
Marchy's left skate WAS trying to help him stop (or at least on a path to where it would be in a position to help him stop) UNTIL lili's skate forced it outwards
Definitely dont think it was intentional. He started to slow down and back into Marchand and it was just a collision from there. Watching it slowed down even more, you can see it. At the point everyone's saying Marchand kicked his left leg out, he just took a shoulder to the chest/side before that and was trying not to fall down. Liljegren just put himself in a really bad position and it didn't end well.
Please do not denigrate The Rat !
Please more cheese as a bonus to his contract !
Honestly find it disgusting how such a goon can be captin. I understand a need for enforcers still but the culture has changed since the pre-00's and he just gives hockey a bad rep.
God, please stop hating on Marchand already.
I honestly don't know how player safety isn't screaming at the league. You can clearly see Marchand has his stick hooking the left skate while he ties up the right. Marchand should sit every game that Lilegren is out. Then double it the next time Marchand injury's a player.
Marchand purposely scooped his stick between Liljegren's legs and slew footed.
Marchand has been suspended (3) times in his career for slew footing opponents....
Still the dirtiest player in the league. Can't understand why the NHL continues to let him get away with these types of plays.
Marchand hasn’t really been a dirt bag in a few years. An agitator? Yes. Dirt bag, no. A lot of people are just triggered anytime anything little happens with him.
Foot it’s a hard call just cause both were moving and stopping but I get what everyone see’s but stick 110% he stabbed it right in there and lifted!!!
