wow what a douch. if the league played such favorites to the bruins, matt cooke would have been suspended for ENDING MARC SAVARDS CAREER.

@xxswamprat Don't worry Cooke and the Pittsburgh Penguins are in the same group as the Bruins. It's also why Campbell lost his job, he was way too inconsistent and I do think Cooke should have been suspended and he was subsequently suspended hard, does not help Savard but at least you can feel good about the league finally doing something. Now he has changed his ways and has been the victim of a few headshots that went uncalled.

Whaaa, let me call the whhhambulance! If the Bruins hadn't won the Cup, you would all be bitching and moaning about whichever team had won it never gets any players suspended. If the Bruins were in last place and sucked (like I'm sure your team does) it wouldn't be an issue. Get over it.

@lynnway707 Actually I congratulated the Bruins on winning the cup, especially since I was a Bruins fan when Bobby Orr won his. Does not change the fact that they seem to get away with things no other team does. My team are the Sens and they are playing the Bruins tonight. It should be a good game especially since the Sens aren't doing as badly as some predicted.

@dirtybruinfannot

You also need to realize that your hatred of the Bruins in just well disguised envy.......admit it!!

@dirtybruinfannot

You bitch about the Bruins being classless and I would like to know how you believe they should act in order to be 'Classy'?? You call them classless but there is never any back up to your bitch....All the Bruins did after they won their cup was celebrate, what else would you like them to do? Can they be proud and happy to win the cup? Vancouver started every event that took place in the finals with their mouths (including the piece of shit coach) or their actions on ice.

@dirtybruinfannot "Bruins have the least class in the league"- just the way i like them

[dirtybruinfannot]

@dirtybruinfannot ....oh ya. someone hurt machant. the piece of shit. Whats bigger the "dome" or his fuckin nose. I vote latter.

[dirtybruinfannot]

Bruins have the least class in the league. Arrogant, dirty. In the past 15 years never have I see a team act so classless after winning the cup. Chicago a close second. Whatever happened to the days of showing respect for the other team. Not just in the finals but all playoff games and throughout the year. All this mindless chirping going on. Play hard hit hard and shut the fuck up.

@NOSEFACEKILLA63 Artukhin got 3 games for the same thing without having a prior record like marchand does. It's not bitching, just pointing out facts.

[NOSEFACEKILLA63]

i am a bruins fan and i totally agree with this being a punishable offense. 2500$ is a legit amount of money only because Niskanen didn't get hurt. IF he did get hurt, Marchand should've and would've payed more or got a suspension. everyone stop bitching
