Back from an enjoyable day in the mountains. Little guy had his ski lessons...
For me, I follow Boston a bit because my in-laws live just outside of Boston and so I have seen some of Marschands more classic moments. Carcillo flies under the radar for me simply because the Flames don't face him often.
I did a youtube search on him and he is certainly no alter boy but the hits for him on youtube are outnumbered by Marschands by a large amount.
I wouldn't want a player like Marchand on any team I am cheering for.
Not trying to be an a$%hole here (it comes natural to me!
) but he is a liability for his team and the league.
His chicken ***** actions always seem to occur when the opposing player is most vulnerable to serious and perhaps career ending injury.
Watch the video again and try to justify your argument that because there are worse guys out there what he does must be ok. Essentially you are condoning his behavior.
Watched an AHL game when I was out at Christmas time with Providence and Manchester squaring up. No fights! It was a pretty good game and the Monarchs arena was pretty full. Good loud crowd and lots of the opposing teams fans in the stands.
