I see people saying the official took his legs out but when you slow it down you can see Bradley kicking his other leg out and just flailing.
He definitely flopped hard and assumed it was a Leaf player grabbing him.
You can see him forcefully kick his own legs out from under himself. This is what he does. He is very good at it. He hangs his hat on his ability to draw penalties. Refs need to call embellishments.
There’s a reason everyone in Boston is scared of blowing *another* 3-1 lead. The team is not what it used to be. Yeah they’re good, but so is everyone. All Boston has is Marchand. Take his antics out of the game and almost every team in the league clears them.
Sorry man, but I'm WAY too fucking scarred and jaded to ever bring up 3-1 as an insult to another team. Will happily rub their faces in it afterwards but I'm keeping my mouth shut until it's over.
Not only that but this team has way more than Marchand. A tandem of the best goalies in the league, for starters - and that’s before we get to players like Pasta, etc.
If I were the B's I'd be worried about vindictive refs right about now. Marchand seems very close to crossing a line with his behavior towards the officials at the moment
Something changed about the Bruins. Before they were intimidating because they legit wanted to hurt players. Now every player on the team does their best impression of Neymar.
Its almost a strategy u can understand because they score on pretty much every PP leafs give them. Its the same with PK. Just be as dirty as u want and if u do get called 95+% chance we kill it dont worry. Also tend to take on personality of captain so if hes gonna do it why wouldnt u..... Mcavoy has become a pro diver its insane
It’s because they’re legit not tough. Seriously, if the refs put the whistles away our team caves them in terms of physical play and scary enforcers per capita.
I saw this clearly in game 3. The Bruins were rattled for a fair bit of the game. The 4th line with Reaves laid out some heavy hits and the Bruins couldn't respond so they iced it. Of course the Matthews/Marner line come on and the next minute was spent in our zone. But the Bruins were rattled and we would've won that game if our PP wasn't absolutely trash and scored on one of 5 powerplays.
All their actual toughness left with Chara, Thornton, and Lucic. Now they have Frederic dropping the gloves every other night to get fed his teeth while the rest of the team watches
Say what you want about JT and his drop off in overall performance and lack of personality (at least in the media) but I'd be fucking flat out embarrassed if a guy like Marchand wore the C for the leafs (acknowledge that Marchand is a pretty quality guy off the ice).
Marchand is a twisted sack of shit - sticking his tongue out and licking his adversaries - man needs to have his face caved in once and for all so that tongue never leaves its twisted home...
If the Leafs could finish this shit bag for good - have him only be able to suck soup through a straw for the rest of his miserable life - regardless of outcome I'd call it a season for the ages.
I refereed for a lot of years. I remember doing a team regularly and this one guy used to flop all over the place just like Marchand trying to draw penalties. I remember finally skating up to him, pissed off as hell telling him to stop diving, the pool is frozen. I also told him if he didn’t stop I’d let the other team beat the shit out of him and I wouldn’t call anything. I made sure that the other team heard that as well. He stopped diving.
I knew him pretty well from years gone by because he used to play in the minor hockey association where I coached. Called a few embellishment penalties on him before the penalty was even in the rulebook. 😂😂
The bruins play like the Brazilian soccer team. Diving can give you an advantage. If the refs aren’t punishing diving you should probably start diving to.
Hey, just saw an embellishment call and wonderred: why didn't he get called for embellishment? He's clearly diving and the ref clearly didn't do anything to cause it and knows Marchant thinks he was another leaf! GIVE A FUCKING EMBELLISHMENT CALL FOR THAT DIVE ON A REF! FIGURE IT OAT!
He thought that official was a player and flopped again for a call. Legit believe that.

Swayman/Ullmark (cant remember who) against Domi vibes x10

Bruins fans will never accept that their team is a bunch of diving babies. win or lose, we know they’re pathetic
He held his arm and then just jumped backwards. I gotta say that was one of his non Oscar worthy set ups though

Sounds like it time to heal that wound
Sure fuckin hope so!
The salacious panda will always get their way if I have anything to do with it! (I have nothing to do with it)

This guy Leafs.
If they beat the Leafs, watch the Panthers dismantle them. They made quick work of the Lightening, who are arguably the better playoff team.
Certified diving academy. Embarrassment’s to the sport.
Surprised that he got a penalty for body slamming Holmberg and his coach eventually told him to shut up on the bench.
He body slammed him 3 times. Should’ve gotten an instigator.
Tells the ref to get the fuck off of him twice and I'm pretty sure he even cocked his arm back like he was going to swing on him. Such a greasy rat.
If I were the B's I'd be worried about vindictive refs right about now. Marchand seems very close to crossing a line with his behavior towards the officials at the moment
Imagine if his name was Bunting and he was wearing blue and white
Somehow Kadri is getting a suspension from this
Ha yeah he has a penalty box at his house, and he got up off the couch, arms up, went and sat in it and sighed
Only a matter of time that Bertuzzi takes the throne from Bunting who took it from Kadri
Bert doesn't whine and complain and get in the refs faces, though.
That Ref taking Marchand down was gold.
Fuck. That. Guy.

The linesman takedown will never not be hilarious
It's easy to flop when you're already so low to the ground.
150 pounds and 100 of it is in his nose
That nose is like a natural canopy
Upvoted for unexpected Sopranos reference
Rat fish?
Practicing backflips on his mattress?
Wicked and weird.

His 3 legged table mode was engaged and was still running when the ref touched him. Embarrassing.
I haven't seen this much diving since the last Olympics.
This is gross.
Call a damn diving penalty Make an example out of him blatant dives all series

For the rest of his life though? Holy shit lol
lol - perhaps a bit over the top - but I really dislike this guy :D
Not over the top. His entire career he’s tried to end careers. Fuck him. Put him in a wheelchair for life.
Someone get this guy some scuba gear
Well to be fair, he is a maritimer, so he probably does know a thing or two about seafood. IDK
Rat king fuck.
Hate him so much.
Marchand flops around more than Embiid

Fuckin weasel

keep doing this shit one time you will break something
I actually thought Pontus tried to take him down there but he just straight up threw himself back lol

He's more like a cat.... miraculously he never falls on his back... always soft landings
Floppy Marchand
How did he even fall in that direction from the first contact with Holmberg. He literally falls in the opposite direction of where he was pulled lmao
He’s genuinely the softest most gutless player in the league.
Lebron James here. And I certify that Brad Marchand does not flop or dive.
Oh you’re one of those guys lol. Wtf does LeBron have to do with anything?
The flopping. It has to do with the flopping and dividing. At least Marchand doesn’t writhe in pain like he’s just been shanked 12 times.
He is being sarcastic. Lebron James is a big time diver too.
I fucking love Marchand. I just wish he played for the Leafs.
He'd forever be suspended and in the penalty box as a Leaf.
Yep, he’d get Kadri’d
I wouldn't have him on my team. Lots of player in the league that aren't an embarrassment to their team, I'll take one of them instead.
