That announcer is the *exact same jackass* who claimed that Marchment's hit on Nieuwendyk was clean. I don't know who he is, but he's a total fuckwad.
The way you protect yourself is by putting your shoulder into the guy who's coming after you, and watching him bounce off, or at least that is what I do on the ice. Marchment was trying to take Modano out.
what a bunch of dumbass commentators..."protecting himself"? I guess slashing Mo in the face would've been protection too. It doesn't matter if old players used to throw elbows, it's a shitty move. If you condone elbows like that you're a douche, end of story.
Marchment was one of the biggest scum bags in the history of sports. I dont know how you homers say Marchment was tough, ive seen that guy back down from more fights than anybody, he was terrified of Hatcher.
@goverjkg Sharks announcers have always ben the biggest homers in the NHL. According to them Marchment should have won the Lady Byng (sarcasm). Sorry but it's true and Drew Ramenda is the worst.
@PuckRogue Fuck youre an idiot buddy. Obviously you dont watch much. Modano's not whatt you would consider a " tough guy", but he plays the game hard. He doesnt backdown, he gets dirty, he hits when he has to. He's not an open ice hitter, but he will hit against the boards and battle for pucks. Go educate yourself you moron. Besides, what the hell do you think he was doing in this play ? Laying a hit. That is until cheap-ass Marchment got his elbow up.
Marchment barely hit him. Dumbshit Modano walked into the elbow. Watch the clip carefully. Marchment throws his arm up (and out) before Madonna gets there - then Mikey skates right into his elbow. Probably on purpose to draw a call.
Say what you will about some of his hits - but Bryan Marchment is one of the toughest players to ever play the game - check his fight card - he hung in there with guys who were 10 times the fighters that Matvichuk (did he ever even fight?) or Hatcher.
i have to admit what Steve Konroyd said was very biased and pretty stupid because marchment was trying to hurt him, but believe me they never have said something this stupid before, and Steve Konroyd isnt even the Sharks announcer anymore.
@aqinthe There is such a thing as announcing it for what it is. An elbow. Even during the heated Red Wings - Avs rivalry you never heard this kind of stupidity.
@jkrx I totally agree. I know all announcers have some home team bias but the Sharks announcers have allways been HUGE homers. Any penalty called on a Sharks player is B.S. and a Sharks player can never do anything wrong or out of line.
Protecting himself - hahaha. These guys are great. "What a cheap shot by Modano slamming his chin into Marchment's elbow" is what they are saying I guess.
He was protecting himself. These guys are the dumbest announcers ever. They made it sound like Modano ran into his elbow on purpose. Ralph and Razor are SOOOO much better.

Dallas has always and will always be a pussy as hell team that is so scared of being touched by a puck. modano is the only guy i have respect for on that bullshit team. morrow is a fag who should take his head out of his ass if he wants to see straight. and robidass should suck it up and stop wearing a goddamn mask if he's so scared of hockey

Watch any game clip of Gordie Howe. He made a living off of actual elbows that were 100 times more vicious than this.

why doesnt he try going after hatcher or mathichuk. Because he is scared and knows they will fight back and kick his ass all over the ice.
