FWIW, that was nice but Patrick Kane has had just as nice goals in shootouts. Heck...look up Datsyuk.

Absolutely disgraceful and tone death "town hall" by the Blackhawks today.
Rocky Wirtz was an idiot when asked about the Kyle Beach scandal...
Wow, WTF...

Just when I thought Hawks could not turn any dumber (with their PR trainwreck per my post), there is now word they are considering....
PETE CHIARELLI?!??
Chicago knows that Sharelli ran the Oilers into the ground, right?

And by keeping his stick to himself, you mean like trying to give a puck to a kid and getting slashed?

In today's league he will get a suspension. Go back 15-20 years and watch a goalie wack someone like Jarry did you and you would expect someone to counter it like Marchand did. Watch some tape of vintage Patrick Roy. He had altercations like that all the time. Was just part of the game. I for one miss the old school game. I miss the old feisty games teams played.

Awful low for a 9 time repeat offender, but I'm not surprised since the league has gone so soft on dirty players in the last few years

Watched the Hawks beat the Oil last night and I again must ask...WTFBBQ is in the water in Edmonton?
McDavid and Draisaitl are arguably better than the dynamic duos of Kane/Toews, Sid/Malkin...and they can't get out of their own way. Seriously, dissolve the team.

Chicago had no business winning the game let alone 4-1.

And like that, Oilers fire Coach Tippett.
They do realize it's not the coach, right?

They have. Wilds Greenway skated though the crease and through an elbow to the head of our goalie. No suspension. Goalie had to leave the game because of it.

The NHLPA
on behalf of https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/m/marchbr03.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker- regarding his https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2022/02/brad-marchand-suspended-six-games.html.
The first appeal will be to commissioner Gary Bettman, after which Marchand can appeal to an independent arbitrator. Speaking to the media today, Marchand
, and a three-game ban that he received earlier this season:
We believe that the last suspension was very hefty. When I got three games, it should have been one, based on the fact that I have turned my game around and become a pretty good player in this league. Like they said, you’re not going to escape the history part of it which ultimately set me up for this one. I’m not going to say or justify that what I did was right. But this was a very deep suspension for these actions.
Marchand went on to suggest that the way suspensions and other supplementary discipline are handled in the NHL will be a big issue when it comes to negotiating the next CBA, and believes his actions, in this case, weren’t suspension-worthy on their own. It’s his history that obviously came into play here, given he has been suspended seven times in the past to go along with five fines.
He has already served one game of this six-game suspension, and it is currently scheduled to expire after the Bruins play the Colorado Avalanche on February 21. Even if he were to receive a reduced sentence from one of the levels of appeal, it may not necessarily get him back in the lineup any sooner, depending on how long it takes to go through the process. What it could do is save him some money, as Marchand is forfeiting nearly $450K with this current ban. Any reduction in the sentence could force the Bruins to pay him retroactively, even if it comes down after the games are missed.
If Boston can get him back any sooner though, it certainly would be an important change. The team is without Patrice Bergeron as he deals with a concussion and looked outclassed against the Carolina Hurricanes last night, losing 6-0 and being outshot 43-34. While Marchand may be a polarizing figure to many hockey fans, he’s arguably the most important forward on the Bruins roster and has 49 points through 39 games this year.
It’s not often that you find wingers that have received Hart and Selke trophy votes in five consecutive seasons but that’s exactly what Marchand has done, as he turned himself from
agitating two-way player to one of the best all-around forwards in hockey. Any game without him in the lineup will leave Boston at a severe disadvantage, so getting him back is a top priority.
This is not the first suspension to be appealed this season. In December, Bettman decided to reduce Jason Spezza’s six-game suspension to four after the Toronto Maple Leafs forward filed an appeal. That case couldn’t be more different from this one though. Spezza’s actions were obviously a targeted attack on a player that he was angry with, but it was his long history of clean play that Bettman referenced when reducing the suspension. In this case, it was Marchand’s history that directly led to the league handing down such a “hefty” ban.
