The Shocking Truth Behind Marchand’s Meltdown That Nobody Saw Coming
You can make the argument that the situations can occur in a contact sport. But the truth is, what Marchand did doesn’t happen in the highly physical NFL. And if it did, there’s no doubt there’d be a major penalty handed out on the spot.
Therefore, Marchand should count himself lucky that all he got was a supplemental-discipline penalty that amounted to a financial pittance to him.
What’s most disappointing is that we thought Marchand was past these sorts of antics. We’re not saying he’d become a magnanimous ambassador for hockey. But these are the kinds of actions Marchand used to be known for early in his NHL career. And on Saturday, his behavior slipped backward in a way that does nobody any good.
