Nice.

i see this has gone away from point system to rink size debate. just throwing my two cents in on that. No owner will give up 2000 of their highest priced seats just to make the rink bigger. So no matter how much we all would want it its never going to happen, Bettman works for the owners, and will never make that change to the NHL

I'm going with option 4 - eliminate the shootout, keep 3 on 3, bring back ties, and have two points for a win and one for a tie.
Im going option 4, i miss when two goalies can get shutouts, sometime neither team deserve to lose

Exclusive alternate angle of the incident...
Though seriously that was a pretty shit move. Im guessing he gets like 3 games for it

Play a god damn competitive sport and then make a comment. You can hate on Marchand all you want but there's at least 30 other guys in the league that would have done the same thing. Lars isn't a 15 year old. He knew what he was doing and got what he deserved.
Marchand isn't the snowflake. The new group of hockey who want fighting out are the real snowflakes.
Chris. First, uncalled for. Second that comment was facetious in the sense that obviously marchand isn't the victim in the whole situation.
You know it is possible that we can both be right in the situation right. Yes we can say he stood up for a guy that hot dogged a 7-0 goal. Did he have to jump him and start punching to send that message no. He could have just hit him hard to send a message sure but that's not the same as punching him in the face. But yes if Ella's wants to be a prick he deserves to have some shit thrown his way. Is the appropriate response to jump him? Maybe not. If he hit someone from behind in a playoff game and broke his face then ya a good ass whooping is acceptable. (Ie. McCarty on Lemieux) that was good ol' hockey, and the retribution for the original act. What Marchand did, although it can be justified, was out of proportion to what Ellar did and therefore was probably excessive.
Also I'm fine with fighting In the game if both people want to fight, it's not the same as staged fighting like there was prevented but if two guys WANT to fight then there is nothing wrong with it.
Lets let this go. Nothing is coming from this, and besides we already know nothing is coming from this so there is no point arguing

So can we all agree Marchand is a snowflake and we need to give him a safe space that he can lick people and not get taunted by people?
He is the real victim here....
Right guys....
-
Ya It was already announced that he wasn't going to face any discipline. One game or even a fine would have been acceptable I think.
-
Even watching the video at like 1:07 marchand gets 5 good shots in before Ellar even gets his gloves off. But ya good for him for defending himself and not turtling But like @jawlesscdizzle said a lot of our perception of this is probably skewed because its Brad Facelicker Slewfoot nutshot Marchand

Also there will be no action taken on Marchand for what he did, so i guess the hookers and blow with Bettman it is than
-
See now you go to the other extreme. which is take everything away. Its not taking it out of the game its all about the right time and place for these things. You can hit people, maybe not when there head is down, or if they just moved the puck, or if they are away three feet from the boards with their back turned.
We can all agree the league used to be if you put yourself in that position and got hurt it was your fault, now the league is if you see someone is vulnerable you shouldn't hit them because you will hurt them.
Likewise with fighting, If you and a guy square up and fight its fine, but if you punch a guy thats unwilling to fight and only has to fight because he is already being punched that is wrong
-
The comparable is head injuries. That's what the NHL is trying to avoid and this goes against what they want. They cant be for these actions but also say that they are trying to make the game safer.

maybe badminton is more your sport then....welcome to hockey. Nothing wrong with what he did and it's been like that for years.
Just because it's been that way doesn't mean we have to keep it the same. Look at Wilson's hit, 10-15 years ago we see Scott Stevens do that we all say how the guy shouldn't have had his head down.
Would you prefer we go back to no helmets? Game was played like that for more than 50 years we should go back to how it was!
-
Also i dont know if anyone noticed in the fight, but marchand kept punching even after Eller was down on the ice.
Edit: 1:27 in the video

Marchand gonna Marchard
For those that didn't see it Lars Eller celebrated the 7th goal of the game by the Boston Bench. (probably not the coolest thing to do)
Well Mr Marchand didn't like this and decided he needed to send a message with his fists. (definitively not nice)
What do you guys think? Good job "sending a message" or should he get something for it? Suspended? Fined? Hookers and Blow with Gary Bettman?
