I have some backstory for this. Before this during the commercial breaks both teams were chirping at each other A LOT, more than usual. To the point where refs had to skate over to separate players and give warnings to both benches. They were pretty chippy their last game against each other too.

[@spelunkerd]

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.

[@TheThinkingPhilosopher]

It may not be overly harmful but it sets a dangerous precedent. 100% should be a 1 game suspension.

[@harv83]

Pretty sure linesmen can't call 2 mins for unsportsmanlike. They can notify the ref of too many men, or provide additional info, but they can't call most minor penalties

[@pjbth]

Cousins has been pretty clean this year as a sens fan...maybe hes one of those guys ah where it just comes out of nowhere but hes been ok for us and I cant remeber other fans wanting to kill after any games

[@dicmccoy]

"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.

[@Mike-l7y5y]

Brad Marchand is probably a re-incarnation of Kenny "the Rat" Linseman. Ex Oilers, ex Bruins forward. Look him up. He's the same player. And the Oilers traded him to Boston because he took so many stupid penalties Glen Sather was concerned he could cost them a Stanley Cup. Serious stuff.

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

Tell Pinto to stop diving. Lmao

[@Spanishflea.]

[@rivetkittyx]

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.
