??? The GWG wasn't even a powerplay goal????
It was the 2nd goal they scored. Either way, Bertuzzi has been fine but he's not a hero worth 5+ million. He's replaceable. Holmberg has managed to get under his skin as well.
But if we really want to look at this under the right light, the biggest problem with Marchand has been himself. His diving has lost him the refs. He drew a couple to start the series but I think the big turning point was when the linesman just touched him and he was down in a heap, since then they haven't called anything except one against him. Which is awesome.
They won't call him for diving, which is am totally fine with so long as they just don't call anything when he's involved. Domi just touched his shoulder in game 6 and he fell in a heap and the refs likely told him, "get up, you aren't getting any calls tonight boy". Now his x factor is gone and his only card is being elite which I don't think he's good enough to fight through a bunch of abuse no one is going to call.
He's facing more pressure than ever as captain and it's really not going well.
