It helps when you're $15 million over the cap and guys who were put on IR right before the trade deadline miraculously recover for game 1 of the playoffs. [Reply]

In the slo-mo replay it didn't look as rough as I first thought. I think Marchand might've lost his balance as much as anything. But the guy that grabbed him by the head and twisted him down, I thought might throw some hands. [Reply]

They're really fucking soft. They came out in game 1 (IIRC, maybe game 2) and made a couple weak slashes on Marchand during the opening face off and went out of their way to finish a couple checks.... it was the fakest physical play I've ever seen.
It's like they practiced in the mirror the night before. [Reply]
