Brad Marchand's tirade against Tristan Jarry caused by comment over a save
When Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins went off of Tristan Jarry of the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier this month, many wondered what, exactly, had Marchand so upset. Many believed it was a slash from Jarry on defenceman Charlie McAvoy. Apparently, that was not the case.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman upheld Marchand's six game suspension Friday after an appeal by the feisty forward. In his ruling, Bettman discussed what Marchand said had caused his tirade.
kind of way.' Mr. Marchand also admits that he overreacted, stating: 'my emotions got the best of me and I made a poor decision'." - Gary Bettman
This does seem like something very minor to lose your cool over, but Marchand is a player that is known for losing his cool, and this time it cost him early.
Bettman also explained that Marchand's history of suspensions was a major factor in the decision to suspend him for six games. Marchand can request an appeal by an independent arbitrator. I have a feeling that appeal would go the same way as this one.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has upheld the six-game suspension that was assessed to @NHLBruins forward Brad Marchand.
