I like how Marchand goes after Ribeiro, who has no career fights in over 750 games and clearly had no interest in fighting, and Ribeiro is the pussy. Maybe I missed something else that you're referring to, but Marchand is definitely the pussy in that one.

Pull shit like that regularly and never answer for it = pussy

As much as I hate to see the Habs drop out of 1st place....Go Pens!

Guys, Marchand is kind of a bitch.

Ruh roh.

yikes

I don't disagree on Ribeiro, but Marchand is right there with him.

Anybody see Kaner's 360 goal against the Stars?

Marchand has at least dropped the gloves before yesterday...not that I don't think he's a dink (he totally is)

But there's dinks, and then there's Ribeiro...he's such a disgusting puke of a player...he can't get hurt badly enough

I don't mind the showboating up 6 goals. He has a tendency to do that in critical times and turn it over.

Reminds me of Major League... "Great fucking catch Hayes! Don't ever fuckin' do it again!"

I don't think the reality of Patrick Kaleta vs. the narrative of Patrick Kaleta will ever come close to being the same thing. It's impossible for a national guy to watch a guys play 82 games a season to know that Kaleta doesn't go out there and hurt people every night. That brad Richards hit was dangerous and he deserved every bit of that suspension, maybe more, but he hasn't done anything even close to dangerous or stupid since he head butted voracek early last season. People who watch him every game know that he's a decent checking forward and great penalty killer.

those pretty much are the 10 biggest dinks in the game right there...no surprise that there's a combined 5 former/present Canucks/Canadiens on the list...

He can be a good checker/penalty killer while also being a douchebag. He plays an effective game, but a huge part of his effectiveness involves getting the opposition pissed off and then backing down/turtling/hiding behind John Scott when a fight presents itself. That may be an effective way to play the game, but it's also a quick and easy way to get on a most hated list.

and then whining to security when a fan had something to say to him whilst going to the Caps locker room. that team is pretty soft, i really thought they would be better this year (considering what they did against the Bs last year in the playoffs).

Except he has fought when challenged. I think he fought Thornton earlier and kicked his ass.
