This incident or dust up between Boston Bruins pest Brad Marchand and Sedin sister Daniel Sedin has some Canucks fans upset with Bruins forward Brad Marchand. It was another incident that I found amusing that Brad Marchand was able to hit/tap Daniel Sedin four times in the mouth in front of the ref.
What is even more classic the response by the NHL ref Kelly Sutherland on if he was going to call Marchand for a penalty. I guess the refs have seen enough of the Vancouver Canucks antics as well?
Darren Dregger; TSN ---- But late in the third period of Game 6, Brad Marchand of the Bruins punched Daniel Sedin four times and the Canucks forward did not retaliate.Here is the problem; the Vancouver Canucks brought this stuff on themselves during the Stanley Cup playoffs. The buffoonery started in the first round when the Canucks GM complained about the amount of power plays that his team failed to get against the Blackhawks. The nonsense didn't stop there, the Canucks, dove, flailed, bit, taunted, threw their heads back and slashed their way through the Stanley Cup Playoffs... In addition the Vancouver Canucks mouthed off in the media and disrespected the Boston Bruins. I wonder if Roberto Luongo still wants to wants to give goaltending lessons to Tim Thomas. I just don't feel any empathy towards them and I can see why a lot of us hate them. The Boston Bruins have also responded in kind to the Canucks antics.
Afterwards, Sedin said he'll take those punches but he did get upset when referee Kelly Sutherland separated the two players.
Sedin said he asked Sutherland why he wasn't calling a penalty and the referee responded with 'I will'. Sedin jokingly replied, 'When, after the fifth punch?'
So according to the Canucks, there is a theme that has evolved in this series.
