Series Discussion Thread - Round Two - Tampa Bay Lightning vs Boston Bruins

[creasecollector]

They actually already had contacted him after the second or third lick. Obviously it had no affect.

I heard yesterday that the league went back and denied that they ever initiated contact with him in the first place. So who knows what's going on with this thing. Strange if true.

Anyways, they need to put a stop to this quickly.

Edit: Just looked Marchand up now, and today the NHL has now put him 'on notice' for his actions last night.

Had the NHL did this after the first incident it would have taken care of the matter. When it comes to guys like Marchand, you don't wait for repeated incidents. Hopefully this ends his stupidity.

Huh. On 4/27 SI wrote
“A league spokesperson confirmed a report by Sportsnet that the NHL demanded Marchand not repeat that particular antic again.”
​“A message was communicated to Marchand through the series’ supervisor of officials Mick McGeough.”

Yeah, I heard on Sportsnet yesterday when the lick happened that it was denied initially. Weird.

But it's out there now so the next time Marchand tries something he'll be dealt with by the league.

what needs to be dealt with is the horrible officials i've never seen so many blown calls and a double standard, call the game one way but BE CONSISTANT with the calls. This is happening way too much and is deciding games at the most important time of the year.

Tampa Bay is moving on. Who will they be facing in the Conference Finals? Pens or Caps?

I heard after the game they caught Marchand in the Lightning locker room licking all the jockstraps. Was trying to get a taste of victory.
