No problem with the suspension. Watching it in real time it looked like it was incidental, but the more you watch it in slow motion it looks like Marchy knew exactly what he was doing. For a guy as talented as he is, these antics need to stop. Not only is he hurting players, but he's hurting his own team by missing time. The problem for Marchy is he's at his best when he plays on that line, but every year he crosses that line and is reckless. When he does return, I wouldn't be shocked to see him go through a bit of a production drought. Last year the same thing happened and while he had 4pts in 6 games, he wasn't taking over games like he was pre-suspension.
I wouldn't have thought by now Marchand would have found that sweet spot of playing on the line....apparently not. Next time he targets a players head like that, give him a 25 games suspension
