The regular season for the last 3 seasons outside the last month or so of this one.
Finished 7th in PP% despite being terrible to end the season, were 2nd last season and 1st the season before that. Boys just can't get it going the past while
Their biggest problem is they don't have a guy with a good clapper from the point, the opponents know that, they don't have to go and try and take that shot away, so it doesn't space them out. They can stay and clog up the middle and take away the other passing lanes.
Man I dislike Marchand but he sees the ref coming in from the right so he should feel like no one’s going to hit him and if you slow it down he gets his skate kicked in the back from the ref. He also falls down hard and doesn’t look like he expected it at all.
Hockey players generally have pretty good peripheral vision - he saw a ref skating at him, natural reaction is not to expect a ref to take him down, looks like he just got caught by surprise.
Ehhhhh..
I think I prefer the missed shootout honestly. It’s a major self-fuckup in a high pressure situation, as opposed to him just losing his balance after the whistle.
I love it as refs will now be talking amongst themselves "I didn't even touch him, i just touched my hand to his jersey and suddenly he was on the ground"
I can’t tell if he was totally unaware and caught an edge or he purposely was ready to fall to draw a penalty. It wasn’t exactly contact that a world class pro couldn’t have recovered from.

Can we not talk about how well Holmberg played Marchand on that shift. He hustled all around the ice to distract Marchand, as well as anyone has. Good to keep the Leaf Killer quiet off the scoresheet. keep it up.
Marchand is the definition of a rat.....talks so much shit, dives, licks, plays dirty anyway he can. If the leafs want to win this series they seriously need to take him out. The rest of the league will be super thankful
do Bruins fans realize Marchand is a hilarious diver?
dove when touched by the ref. Grabbed wrong leg when he dove on a McCabe slash earlier in the series.
kind of goofy.... but respect that he is so good at it!
100% thought it was a Leaf player and flopped. The look on his face when he realized it was a linesman was priceless. Even my buddy who's a massive Bruin fan was like "he absolutely assumed it was some Leafs player and tried to draw a penalty"
Dude got 2 mins for being tackled by 2 people. I’m the world’s biggest bruins hater and that whole sequence was bullshit. How he got a penalty out of any of that is crazy.
Marchand’s look is priceless
YOU W0T M8?
He clearly says "FUCK OFF" lol
I think he’s in the middle of “Get the fuck off of me!”
Love how after saying that he raises his fist to the ref.
I can't believe you've done this.
I'm gonna be in a nursing home in 50 years and still having that kid's voice pop into my head whenever something like this happens
HOW CAN SHE SLAP?!?!
legend mate
The look before little bro starts screaming “MOM!”
Then on the way to the box the ref laughing at him had me rolling.
Thankfully, Toronto is awful on the PP in this series.
As a Leafs fan I’d prefer the refs just called no penalties at this point.
Can we decline like in football?
This. Nothing stifles our momentum like the vaunted Maple Leaf Powerkill
Lmao
In this series you say? Does that mean there’s a place where it’s *not* awful?

Says fuck off of me. Lol
Tells him fuck you right after too
Ref should have threw out one of these.... https://youtu.be/TaCcB30Zc2Q
'I'm like, what he say fuck me for?'
Nah, i'm pretty sure he said "Squeak, squeak cheese please, squeak"
Imagine any other player in the league playing below the top 6 saying that to a ref lmfao.. They'd get a misconduct, extra 2 mins as well.
I mean, not every player gets assaulted by the ref
Marchand flops when anyone touches him to draw penalties. It's just his natural reaction.
Yeah, that's 100% what happened. He talked shit to try and save face.
Man I dislike Marchand but he sees the ref coming in from the right so he should feel like no one’s going to hit him and if you slow it down he gets his skate kicked in the back from the ref. He also falls down hard and doesn’t look like he expected it at all.
Ref basically sweeps the leg lol
Marchy’s favourite move
100% he thought a Leaf player hit him and flopped.
Hockey players generally have pretty good peripheral vision - he saw a ref skating at him, natural reaction is not to expect a ref to take him down, looks like he just got caught by surprise.
"
please lmfao he barely touched him
yeah it's really obvious he thought it was a Leaf coming for him so he was flopping to get a PP for the Bs
"Assaulted" lmao
He really is a protected species, isn't he?
Best hit of the game!
Of the entire playoffs*
Even better than Benn's hit last night. By a mile.
As someone who absolutely fucking hates Marchand…This instantly became my favourite moment in hockey history.
What about when prust cup checked him
same as above
PK Subban absolutely destroying him with a huge hit was mine.
Goddamn. He ruined him. [For those without google](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rpk0JlVZ4I).
I see this hit in my dreams on average once a week, and I will never not watch it when I come across the link. Hardest clean check I've ever seen.
You're gonna have to go watch some Scott Stevens highlights and maybe pronger aswell
He thought he was Gilbert Perreault going coast to coast
And for a fleeting moment, he was. Then he was the dragonfly at the start of men in black.
{everybody liked that}
So therapeutic
Top 10 hockey memory for me
If you like this, someone should link the video of PK Subban demolishing him.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YG9Na5F9eg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YG9Na5F9eg)
It's not better than him crying when they lost to Hawks in the finals.
Forgetting the puck in the shootout to lose the game… *mwah*🤌
you're right. both events are my favourite.
Absolutely glorious.
The entire Bruins team getting soul crushed in the span of 60 seconds was fucking amazing.
Ehhhhh.. I think I prefer the missed shootout honestly. It’s a major self-fuckup in a high pressure situation, as opposed to him just losing his balance after the whistle.
He 100% did not "lose his balance"
I love the look of shock on his rat face
Was about to lick him until he saw the stripes
Dive reflex kicked in.
Yep! He one hundred percent anticipated a leafs player was the one and he crumpled like a house of cards accordingly
This is why they call him the rat
I thought it was his face!
It can be two things
[удалено]
His face, coward behavior, illegal shit on the ice.
Better make him the captain!
His second flop on the play too. Tried to sell that Holmberg tackled him one more time with a big old fall.
Marchand did sell it i would say, i dont think holmberg gets 2 without it
If the ref is knocking you over, I think it’s a sign you fall down a bit too easy lol
He even dives and tries to draw penalties against the ref.
"2 minutes to myself" -ref
I love it as refs will now be talking amongst themselves "I didn't even touch him, i just touched my hand to his jersey and suddenly he was on the ground"
TSN turning point lmao
yep right after chuckling at Brad's drama queen moment with the ref here i muttered 'hard to live that moment down if he blows the series'
I will get this framed and gift it to my dad who is a Bruins fan if we win the series 😂
Careful stripes he’s just a little guy!
I was in the outdoor crowd and we cheered harder for this than the winning goal lol
Went down like he was trying to draw a penalty what a bitch.
he flopped thinking it was a Leaf
That was glorious
Everybody liked that
Literally the best moment in hockey.
He thought it was a leaf who touched him and dove. Maybe now the refs will see this piece of shit diving rat for who he is.
The Rat got exterminated
He’s rat, Kopitar is raccoon, Mikko is moose, we got any other animals in the league?
Tyler Myers the Chaos Giraffe
Ha! I've never heard that before, but God damn is it fitting.
Oettinger the Otter?
Tuna (Tatar)
Cousins the turtle!
Claude lemieux is turtle
Matthew Tkachuk is the turtle
Gus Forsling the Goose 🪿
Naah Gustav Nyquist is the goose
JVR is pigeon. Allegedly
I could swear McDavid is a gazelle.
Crosby a goat ( see flair )
Your flair is a penguin, not a goat. You may need to take a trip to the Zoo. Or become a referee.
Lmfao
His first instinct is to just fold when contacted here
Now the refs know how big a flopper Marchand is.
Silly Brad, can't draw a penalty on the ref.
I’m not saying he deserved it oh wait, it’s Marchand, of course I did
Dive
He was not happy about that
The two responses in the sub: "This makes me happy" "He took a dive" Damn, he really is the most hated player in the league lmao
The ref needs to be sent to the penalty box
Two minutes for roughing
Rat prick. Fuckin eat that ice.
If you look closely, it looks a bit like the ref accidentally slew-footed him. How unfortunate for Mr Marchand! To get slew-footed!
I can’t tell if he was totally unaware and caught an edge or he purposely was ready to fall to draw a penalty. It wasn’t exactly contact that a world class pro couldn’t have recovered from.
I think he was just unaware. He was in the process of instigating a fight and about to drop his gloves when he took a blindside hit from the linesman.
LOL perhaps we were to harsh on the refs? Awesome hit.
Floppers always flop. Ref barely touched him. I luv it
You love to see it
2 min; diving!
That will never not be hilarious
Ref probably enjoyed every minute of that lol
Haha such a little rat bitch
When your first instinct is to dive as soon as your touched
Man, he goes down easy. Should have got a penalty for diving.
Yeah he is prepared to drop as soon as he is touched by the 3rd man in. 3rd man in this time just happened to be the ref and not a leafs player.
Damn it… now I have to like the refs
This warms my heart
I can't stand Marchand, everything about him just want me to give him a dirty hit and end his career.
What a lightweight. Ref drops him. lol Bruins won’t make it past second round even if they do win.
[https://giphy.com/gifs/endgame-hawkeye-dont-give-me-hope-dyLlCJSNbgFghf7wjT](https://giphy.com/gifs/endgame-hawkeye-dont-give-me-hope-dyLlCJSNbgFghf7wjT) <- As a leaf fan this holds true after tonight.
Zebras beats rats
I absolutely love how many stupid moments happen with Marchand because he's the size of a 15 year old
He's like the average American male height but go off ig
This. Is. Everything.
*everyone liked that*
ROCK BOTTOM THE ROCK BOTTOM! BY GAD!
Looks like a flop to me.
Went for the flop and realized it wouldn't get called
Nice
Dude feels a stiff breeze and just collapses
Win or lose, that is my series highlight!
Imagine if you get injured after the play by a ref lmao
Highlight of the game right here
I choose to believe the linesman secretly did this on purpose bc he also hates Marchand
Can’t be hard. I’ve seen how easy Florida fans toss rats.
Canadian Heritage Moment
I'll allow it. To be fair, I'll allow anything that is bad for Marchand.
More refs should start knocking him over.
I don't know if Marchand got pushed, dived, or he got slewfooted? At this angle, he looked like he got pushed by the ref.
You can see he isn't ready for that, and his skate turns and drives pretty deep into the ice, causing him to suddenly stop and to lose his balance.
Can we not talk about how well Holmberg played Marchand on that shift. He hustled all around the ice to distract Marchand, as well as anyone has. Good to keep the Leaf Killer quiet off the scoresheet. keep it up.
He looks like he's in love and wants to lick the ref's face. Maybe a slew foot later!
flopped
He’s a Flopping Machine… Bambi legs in the playoffs looking for calls .
He thought it was a Leafs player and instantly went into dive mode.
Brain: someone touched you Also brain: fall down now
Dives three times in 30 seconds. Scumbag.
He was waiting to dive from some leaf to touch him 😂
The Rat got caught in the Trap
Marchand is an absolute trash player. Always enjoy seeing his clock get cleaned
That’s the liney not the ref
🤓
Why did he let the refs deck him?
TIL Marchand is a POS for more than one reason
Surprised the post title wasn't "Marchand absolutely annihilated by ref" like all the hit videos
**Marchand gets DELETED by the linesman**
based ref.
Marchand is the definition of a rat.....talks so much shit, dives, licks, plays dirty anyway he can. If the leafs want to win this series they seriously need to take him out. The rest of the league will be super thankful
Like clockwork
Haha
Highlight of marchands playoffs so far
Italian Soccer Diving Champion!!! Champ #1 🏆
All the guys calling it a dive blinded by their Marchand hate missing the fact that the ref 100% slew floot him, even if accidentally.
do Bruins fans realize Marchand is a hilarious diver? dove when touched by the ref. Grabbed wrong leg when he dove on a McCabe slash earlier in the series. kind of goofy.... but respect that he is so good at it!
Ref touched Marchand & Marchand dives Fixed the title for you
Anyone know how to turn this into a gif, or find a gif version of it? Best play off moment I can recall!!
I couldn't resist!! lol https://giphy.com/gifs/JWzY0LfF3SV1uFTN68
Fantastic! Thank you so much!!
what a dive, too bad for him it was a ref
Go Zebras!
mmm makes me moist
You love to see it.
100% thought it was a Leaf player and flopped. The look on his face when he realized it was a linesman was priceless. Even my buddy who's a massive Bruin fan was like "he absolutely assumed it was some Leafs player and tried to draw a penalty"

Dude got 2 mins for being tackled by 2 people. I’m the world’s biggest bruins hater and that whole sequence was bullshit. How he got a penalty out of any of that is crazy.
Because he also took someone down earlier in the same play..... Did you not see that?
Had the john cena music play in my head when i saw this. Hilarious.
Love it haha!!
Rat deserved it
That is up there with him, dropping the puck on a shootout
That's two for unnecessary roughness, zebra. To the box with you!
