I think I like the game in the 60-80's. That was nothing.

That’s a different level of threat. That’s not hockey, that’s abuse. And many people suffer through being “ strangled” in abusive relationships and there’s a saying “ if a man’s going to put hands on your throat in anger, he doesn’t want to hurt you, he wants to kill you”. Not saying Marchand wants to kill Cousins but that type of behaviour ( unless consensual between two adults) is troubling behaviour. Choking is when you get food stuck in your throat, having hands on it is strangling someone. I know semantics but, again, disturbing behaviour from such a public figure on camera.

😊great

Cousins asked for it !

Dude, I understand that there’s a fun energy to pesky antics but this was a step too far for me.

Refs man…

Best Captain in the League. Only karens and boomies go in for that "they need to ban X player, this isn't classy!"

March is a joke and a disgrace

guys he was just checking for a pulse, why the overreaction?

“Harder Daddy”

Cousin's 'WTF are you doing?" reaction was the highlight. If Cousins retaliated in anyway there would have been penalties to both players but its Cousin not taking the bait that keeps this at ho hum.

Your saying that is a captain

10:02 UNDERRATED KING!!! i cant wait to see him play in the four nations faceoff!!!

I am sorry, but the Florida Panthers are able to out-rat Marchand...which is a big reason why the Bruins got their asses handed to them last year, in my opinion. If the your legendary rat is being out-ratted by no-name rats, your team has issues.

I'm not sure about the NHL but in most hockey rule books the linesmen cannot call minor penalties. The way around that would be discussion to hear if one of the ref's saw it as well. I share your ambivalence regarding Marchand. He's an amazingly talented offensive player, but has the small man thing going with dirty stuff routinely before hits. I'm a little disappointed the way his team has underperformed compared to when he didn't wear the C. Leadership skills require more than dirty plays, talented individual effort, and mucking between whistles.

Nah. Liking him is like warming up to cancer. Says a lot more about you than it does about him. He’s trash. Has been trash. Will be trash.

He was just helping keep his neck warm

brad marchand: ❌ brat marchand: ✅

Refs on drugs or alcohol not to call gross misconduct

I didn’t see Marchand do anything wrong.

I loved the commentary on this one. Great job!

Marchand is a disgrace to hockey.

Boston Strangler

March a fan of Sleep Token….. Chokehold

Life long die hard Rangers fan , 63 years.old. If that scumbag ever put a Rangers jersey on , I become an instant Devils fan 🐀🐀🐀

He should at least get a 1-game suspension since the refs failed to do their job.

The most disgraceful player in the league.

Y’all gotta go watch soccer y’all literally pussies😂😂 it’s hockey

Typical Rat stuff! Also typical non-officiating or they decided it was Bad Guy on Bad Guy , so no harm!

Hahaha 😂. How did I miss this

"How is this not a penalty?" Well, first off, that would require the Refs doing their jobs. They should start taking responsibility for their lack of officiating and penalized heavily, such as the Garland/McDavid incident.

Was checking for mumps

To all you Karen’s that usually watch golf. If you think that was a choke hold Daniel Penney says to you…HOLD MY BEER

Just because it’s cousins, this is 100% acceptable

kinky

I think Marchand is feeling a bit odd about people liking him too much, so wanted to reset the balance

“If you are a rat, then I’m the Rat King!” -Brad Marchand probably

I think Marchand is smart enough to both not do it for long and put little pressure on his neck lol

Glad bennet took him out last year😂

With Bergeron gone, Marchy’s become my favorite Bruin, which I realize the irony of. Went from one of the most sportsmanlike players to ever play the game to one of the most consistently annoying, lol. I’ve just become endeared to him, you realize he’s mostly (mostly) harmless

the licking is still much worse imo

Marchand should not be the Bruins captain. He’s a jerk and doesn’t epitomize the type of personality that befits the captaincy.

i didn't know choking your opponent was allowed, neat!

I mean yeah he should have got a 2 minute penalty but I feel like everyone is blowing this wayy out of proportion.

Nah fuck cousins, it should be allowed only on Cousins.

Every team has guys like this. Many are much worse than Marchand. Others are better at hiding it from refs. Grow up hockey fans. It’s that kind of sport.

Не важно побьет он рекорд или нет.. это машина! Это Человек

So Marchand wears the C and now no one can beat the piss out of him?

Ken Linesman is the one and only RAT. Marchand tries to be one but is more of a Grim Creeper.
