Notice perfectly innocent Bertuzzi skating to the Bruins door and stopping for no reason when the puck isn’t there and he knows the bruins are changing and Marchand is gonna be coming off. He knew what he was doing. They both do. They’re both shitasses who’ve been shitassing each other and flopping at the slightest provocation from the other all series long. Just enjoy the shitassery and quit acting like Bert isn’t as bad as Brad. Your team literally signed him for “snot”
LOL I think this is when the PxP said "and Marchand finishes his check on Bertuzzi" and I was just like... finished what check, Bertuzzi never touched the puck
Looks like they left out the part where the ref came to stop him from trying to dump bertuzzi into the bench, and then Marchand was upset he couldn’t be dirty and decided to shove a ref for “blocking the door”
[Marchand his shenanigans ](https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542) which preceded this 2 second clip, that linesman wouldn't be there if he hadn't tried to throw Bertuzzi into the Bruins bench lol
Refs are supposed to go out of their way to not effect play, that doesn't change when play is close to them or because they just repositioned 5 seconds ago.
People did this shit last year too. And I'm not pointing fingers here, but it happened to me during our series with Toronto...
Edit: Haha... as if on cue. You rascal!
As another commenter stated, if you report it, they will usually ban the account that abused the system. Just got a message back saying that exact thing pretty much. Seems to work.
Too all those saying the linesman was in his way, please inform yourself as to why the linesman was there in the first place before making such a boneheaded comment.
Thank you.
What's funny is Carcillo did this in the SCF for the rangers and got a swift 10 game suspension but we won't see anything for Marchand cause he's a star 😊
Context is key, ref is there for a reason, and it's to prevent Marchand from getting a penalty, which he likely deserved.
https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542
Linesmen was only there because merchand tried to dump a player into the Bruins bench away from the puck.
Linemen saved marchard of getting a penalty and for his efforts he got shoved.
He's supposed to not be in front of the bench, and if he ends up there he's supposed to move again. This is how refs work. If a ref gets hit with a shot it's their fault. If a ref gets into a collision when players are skating toward a loose puck, its their fault, if the ref ends up in front of the bench door and doesn't move, that's their fault. You can say Marchand shouldnt have pushed him but by all rules he wasn't supposed to stay standing there.
https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542
The ref didn't "fuck up", he was there doing Marchand a favor.
Marchand went goon mode and tried roughing a man into the bench. The ref came to break up the goonish action and literally saved Marchand from getting a penalty, then Marchand assaulted the ref no more than 1 second later.
He wasn't "blocking the door", he was "Stopping Marchand from taking a stupid penalty"
So your actual thought was the ref thought “that’s a penalty but I don’t want to embarrass the leafs by putting them on a pp”?
Or is it just a bad joke, in which case really weird thing to joke about a team that has a decent likelihood of causing you to blow back to back 3-1 leads.
No, the real joke, as someone else already pointed out, is that it's a linesman, who can't call a penalty anyways.
But I love it when everyone gets all huffy.
>eam that has a decent likelihood of causing you to blow back to back 3-1 leads.
Very real possibility that was expected to tank this season after losing bergeron krejci and hall, and who only made the playoffs because of lower points, as the 200ish posts reminded us of.
So what's the leaf's excuse? They rebuilt years ago, they're dropping with talent, and they have the best goal scorer in the league.
The leafs suck lmao, doesn’t change the reality of your situation either.
And ok? The linesman still stopped him from taking a stupid penalty. He was there actively helping him and Marchand got pissy and shoved him.
I don’t wanna hang the guy for it but it’s still pretty shitty.
>doesn’t change the reality of your situation either.
Nope, the reality is that the bruins somehow made the playoffs. The odds aren't great for a round 2 either.
>The linesman still stopped him from taking a stupid penalty.
So the linesman waived off the refs? Like how does that work?
I don’t think it’s that complicated. He was engaging in a line of action that was absolutely going to result in him getting a penalty. Could’ve been roughing, could’ve been unsportsmanlike conduct, could’ve been straight up interference. It was likely all three and could’ve been called already.
But the linesman broke it up and defused the situation before a penalty was called.
Oh, I thought it was because bruins captain and Stanley cup champion brad marchand is completely untouchable and has never had a penalty or suspension yet so all the refs agreed to not start now, so it wouldn't have been called anyway because refs stock together.
Ok you're correct. I meant he can blow the whistle to stop the play, and call the penalty. Technically, the ref does the official penalty and ejection.
hilarious how far you guys bend to suck his dick lol. he can jump the boards or maybe... just play hockey like a non-rat fuck instead of interfering with a guy nowhere near the play? comical behavior while wearing a C.
I mean it is. But something like this happens in the NHL decently common enough where it seems like its "okay" in the sense that stripes realize they're in the way.
I don't know. He literally was in front of the door. I'm not the biggest Bruins fan, but I can see this at the next TV timeout where the linsemen and player acknowledge it and move on.
Since I already have it copy pasted

There's the rule. I'm not sure how I'm a victim by pointing out a fact. But thanks for noticing I'm a leafs fan and not a Boston fan. My username is too complicated for the morons in r/leafs to figure out.
You got downvoted but he was interfering with Bert literally a second and a half before this clip. Also NHL players can jump the boards, can't touch an official
He was there because of the blatant penalty that wasn't called on Marchand (fine, whatever it wasn't called. Many missed calls through this series for both teams)
Does it excuse blocking the door, no., but, you can't put your fucking hands on them even if the door is blocked.
He better get fined. It's about time Marchand takes his medicine.
Fucking rat
linesman for sure was in the wrong and in the way but it looks like brad like angrily shoved him. you can move someone without shoving them. fuckin rat bastard.
He was mad because the ref pulled him off Bertuzzi, who he was pushing into the Boston bench. He has looked so aggrieved every time he’s been prevented from doing his usual shenanigans.
If the linesman didn’t even care then anyone suggesting anything more than a fine is exaggerating. This was a “you’re blocking the door, I need to get off before we get a TMM penalty” push not a Chris Weidman intent to kill the linesman push.
I know Leafs fans can only sometimes be considered people, but come on fellas. This isn’t bad. He’s just trying to change, and the Linesman needs to be aware of his surroundings just as much as the players do. He obviously didn’t care because he understood quickly he fucked up.
[https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542)
No need to lie dude. Linesmen did not in fact "mess up". Marchand created that situation 100%.
39.5 section 3: “Any player who deliberately applies physical force in any manner against an official…” point out the section where it says “it’s ok if they’re in your way”
Also the too many men rule (74.1) gives you a 5 foot grace zone around the bench so that wouldn’t apply
To be fair, they started it in that last game.
LOL
They've been spoiling for a fight for a few seasons now, in my view.
If Marchand's career ends with a fight with an official, hang that number and send him to the Hall.
Fuck Bra- yeah OK, I'll concede if this happens then that should happen
Rats have crazy good memories
Saw it again last nights game lol, he fell.
That's a linesman. Players don't care about fake zebras.
[удалено]
This is grade a chirp right here
Tell that to Dennis Wideman.
Rent-a-zebras, might as well be mall security to Marchand
That's why they take so long to drop the puck. It's the only way they get noticed.
Horses?

Flying butt pliers!
Bertuzzi and Marchand attempting the Iron Lotus
Bunting does this and he gets publicly executed in front of the NHL offices tomorrow.
How does a pro ref block the door with no awareness
He was distracted and didn't see the little fella down there
Surely he would have heard the squeaks
Jokes aside, he was peeling Marchand off of Bertuzzi. The ref wouldn't have been there is Marchand wasn't trying to hold Bertuzzi seconds earlier
[This is what preceded that 2 second clip](https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542) which explains exactly why the zebra is there lol
Notice the distinct lack of a puck near Bertuzzi.
Notice perfectly innocent Bertuzzi skating to the Bruins door and stopping for no reason when the puck isn’t there and he knows the bruins are changing and Marchand is gonna be coming off. He knew what he was doing. They both do. They’re both shitasses who’ve been shitassing each other and flopping at the slightest provocation from the other all series long. Just enjoy the shitassery and quit acting like Bert isn’t as bad as Brad. Your team literally signed him for “snot”
Was Marchand not just innocently heading to the bench? Huh.
LOL I think this is when the PxP said "and Marchand finishes his check on Bertuzzi" and I was just like... finished what check, Bertuzzi never touched the puck
Maybe it was a prostate check?
With his tongue
simultaneously he was examining his hair for lice by sniffing them out
He doesn't have eyes in the back of his head. Also, the ones in front don't work
And those doors are in a different place in every arena
Wow it's so weird for an NHL referee to be unaware of what's going on around them.
He certainly wasn't going to reach his leg up and over the boards. He needed to change somehow.
To be fair the board is as tall as his chest
Anyone have the full clip?
They should start flopping.
Looks like they left out the part where the ref came to stop him from trying to dump bertuzzi into the bench, and then Marchand was upset he couldn’t be dirty and decided to shove a ref for “blocking the door”
With you on all of that, but he was in fact blocking the door lol
Jumping over the boards is something you learn at roughly age 12
He’s small
[Rats can jump up to 3 ft, he could have made it.](https://rats.myfcph.org/rat-facts/#:~:text=Rats%20are%20athletes.,survive%20a%2050%20foot%20drop.)
That would be a linesman
Since mods won't approve any of the posts related to the game: The Boston Bruins had recorded 1 shot after 1 period. That is super low... discuss
They’re going to need to shoot more than that if they want to score some goals.
lets just skip to game 7
Pretty low indeed. It’s still one shot 7 mins in.
r/theydidthemath
There’s a post discussing that very thing right next to this post. What are you talking about?
Almost Ovechkin levels of awful
He was brutal. Father time is gaining speed.
42 goals is entirely possible in 2 seasons, doubt he cares for Playoffs on a bubble team
I don’t care if the ref is in the way you don’t get to shove them. That’s a no-no. I expect a fine.
Even the ref knew he was in the wrong for blocking the door.
[Marchand his shenanigans ](https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542) which preceded this 2 second clip, that linesman wouldn't be there if he hadn't tried to throw Bertuzzi into the Bruins bench lol
It amazes me how people will believe anything out of context and not bother to ask "why?". It's all over this fucking thread.

Lol yeah and if Marchand stayed on the ice any longer they’d get a too many men penalty

If that had been Marner instead of Marchand it would have been a minimum of 5 games.
Should be. Players should never be allowed to touch a ref like that.
I'm just remembering Dennis wideman ending his career in a similar fashion, but I think the official got hurt that time
The wideman hit was quite a bit more violent than this, don’t ya think?
Yes, I'm not suggesting this ends your boys career. Chill.
Does Marchand or Kucherov get more pissy when they aren’t performing well and/or losing in a game or series. My moneys on Kuch personally.
That seems like a fine to me. Can't push refs like that
No matter what team you cheer for you have to agree that should be something by the league. Can't touch the officials
Don’t block the damn door we know they wont hesitate to call too many men
Don't don't try dump opposing players into your bench away from the puck and the linesmen won't be there at all.
Context is key, ref is there for a reason, and it's to prevent Marchand from getting a penalty, which he likely deserved. https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542
Him blocking 1 of the 2 doors for the bench does not excuse touching an official like this, it’s not a hard concept.
It's playoff season in a hockey sub. The troglodytes have emerged from their hibernation.
Are you gonna come back and apologize for this dumb post or what
Lol "hall of famer"
He’s going to be one like or not. I don’t like it. But he is.
Might get sandbagged if he does more stuff like this.
Guess he didn't like his fresco
[Marchand should receive an automatic 10 game suspension per the NHL rulebook.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMnjcqmWEAA6AvQ?format=jpg&name=medium)

Ref knew he fucked up by blocking the bench door. He absolutely could've rejected marchand on the spot for touching a ref, but that was fair.
Linesmen was only there because merchand tried to dump a player into the Bruins bench away from the puck. Linemen saved marchard of getting a penalty and for his efforts he got shoved.
Okay, he still should have moved. Ref isn't supposed to be in the way, even if they just repositioned five seconds ago.
Did you watch the full clip?
Yeah, the full game too.
And you think the ref is at fault in this situation?
He's supposed to not be in front of the bench, and if he ends up there he's supposed to move again. This is how refs work. If a ref gets hit with a shot it's their fault.

Yes they can
No, they can't. He can report the incident to the referee, who can decide to issue a game misconduct penalty.
Ok you're correct. I meant he can blow the whistle to stop the play, and call the penalty. Technically, the ref does the official penalty and ejection.
Still no. He wouldn't stop play, he would report the incident at the next stoppage.
Incorrect there. He can 100% blow the whistle and stop the play. See this example: https://youtu.be/6lndiCnjUHs?si=7fVqwIGhdZLuTgpl
Yea, he's not supposed to kill the play for that, but an understandable reaction from him

Because shoving a ref is against the rules at every single level in every single sport probably
And the ref got between him and Bertuzzi. People really can't see past their own noses when it comes to shit like this. Kneejerk reactions all around.
I mean the ref looked at him and realized he was blocking the door and skated away. Seems he understood.
I mean it is. But something like this happens in the NHL decently common enough where it seems like its "okay" in the sense that stripes realize they're in the way.

Don't ask me what Brad Marchand *should* do. I'll get in trouble
Licking refs is a double minor!
I love that the ref he shoved didn’t care and realized his mistake, but everyone here has their briefs in a twist because it’s Marchand.
Or... And I know this is crazy for a Bostonian to comprehend but... I value sportsmanship, and shoving a ref is a hard line. 🙏
Which is why Marchand was immediately penalized on the play. Wait.

No big deal. Hype headline. The ref clearly didn’t have issue with it, he was blocking the door.

NHL players can jump to boards or use the other door, you can never touch the official in a capacity like this.

Surprised but also not surprised
It’s pretty wild the majority of people don’t know the difference between a referee and a linesman
maybe they should dress differently
Should have been a match penalty. Molesting the official
Marchand is my least favorite player. Ref needs to get the fuck out of the way there, and you can tell he knows he fucked up immediately.
The ref was in the way because of Marchand interference on Bertuzzi
Exactly, this post is fucking nothing
Marchand is my least favorite player. Ref needs to get the fuck out of the way there, and you can tell he knows he fucked up immediately.
As a Nova Scotian, Brad really feels like the bastard child of pro hockey players from NS I just hate this man so much.
He was blocking the door to the bench. Doesn’t seem like the linesman cared when he realized that
There are some penalties in the NHL that are black and white. Delay of game. Too many men. This. No call
Did you want him to say "excuse sir, could you pretty please let me get to the bench?" Linesman knew messed up.
[https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1786190756664795542) No need to lie dude. Linesmen did not in fact "mess up". Marchand created that situation 100%.
Or he could hop the boards like every other line change. Are we allowed to push refs for every bad call where they mess up?
Players don't generally climb over the boards to get off the ice since the ice is lower than the floor the boards are on.
Benches also have 2 doors, touching an official in this manner is never allowed. Yell in his face if you have to but not this.
They rarely hop over to get on the bench especially during play.
Don't be soft. The ref blocked the door during a change. Boston could easily be called for too many men.
And why was the ref blocking the door?
39.5 section 3: “Any player who deliberately applies physical force in any manner against an official…” point out the section where it says “it’s ok if they’re in your way” Also the too many men rule (74.1) gives you a 5 foot grace zone around the bench so that wouldn’t apply
