Is it me, or did it look like Marchand caught him more in the chest there?
I think something hit his shield and drove it down toward his upper lip, but tough to tell. There was a stick on the backend I was trying to track.

Thoughts on the Marchand hit? Any chance the league reviews that play?
No injury, no penalty, most of the hit was through the chest. Probably have him drawn and quartered, with his body parts sent to the four corners of Canada. As a warning.

Sounds about on the mark for the punishment Marchand gets from the leauge

The elbow appeared extended but not elevated. A penalizable play but not a suspendable one for every other player in the league. Being this is the Department of Player Safety and Marchand, I expect Nova Scotia to be razed to the ground and Ullmark fined $5,000.

That’s 100% on Forbort. Why he throws it up the boards there is just…unimaginable.
Dude, any time you can weakly backhand it up the boards where literally everyone is, while you momentum is going the other way, well, you pretty much just gotta give it a shot.

At least Carlo’s Statue of Liberty impression is improving, though. What a horrible goal.

I get that not every player is going to have McDavids speed, or Ovi’s shot, or Leon’s passing…

but when you’re physically limited in your abilities, you should at least be a smart hockey player.

Forbort is not even that.
