If you’re like me, you’re still simmering over last night’s end-of-the-game incident involving Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry and the Bruins’ Brad Marchand. Check that…Marchand’s blatant and vile assault on our goalie. First with a blind-side sucker punch followed in short-order by a high stick to the mask.
All of this happened in a flash, before the Pens could really respond. To his credit, Kris Letang tried to get at Marchand, but the linesmen quickly intervened. Of course, not before the Bruins’ weasel got in his parting shot with the stick.
I shudder to think what would’ve happened had Jarry sustained a concussion…or worse.
