Man that was pretty blatant. I don't see how he escapes without at least a fine. What are you going to do though as they spun the wheel of justice and it landed on "No Discipline"? Bottom line is they need to get rid of the randomness of the wheel.

Someone needs to beat the crap out of him. The league is letting him get away with it, teams/other players shouldn't.

It pisses me off because we can all see that ratface is a good hockey player, he doesn't need to do this stuff.

That's not a slew foot. He kicked out his skates, he didn't push him back while doing so. Crappy trip, but he also clearly turns quickly to face the play.
It's a tripping penalty, that's about it.

A slew foot doesn't need you to push your opponent over your leg too. It can be solely your leg. TSN got it wrong.

Tomato/tomatoe. Dangerous play by a guy who is known for it. NHL blows it again.

He was fined $10k for a slewfoot on Kronwall 6 days ago.

Same play as on Kronwall that warranted a fine. But hey, he got away with it this time and they scored a goal off the play..
Sometimes your team scores, sometimes you get a measly fine... if the Refs and the league aren't going to do their job, he may as well keep doing it..

He's done it once That I've seen. Hardly a serial offender.

A slew foot is kicking out the skates from behind, causing the other player to fall backwards. Which is different than regular tripping. Pushing with your arms or elbows can make it worse, but that doesn't need to occur for it to be a slew foot.
That said, I didn't realize they were regularly fining or suspending slew foots. Are they?

I don't see how that's any worse than an everyday trip.
Pulling back while doing the tripping is what makes slew foots dangerous. Especially in a race to the boards.

I'm so excited the Flames finally have a d-bag player for ourselves, after so many years of watching players like Kesler, Ott, Bieksa, Doan, Burrows and Marchand give it to us.
That mouthguard chewing is next level annoying.

Exactly. And while maybe one doesn't technically meet the criteria of being a slew foot (as was the case with Marchand's move last night), he's already cost one player a couple months on IR and has quickly gotten a reputation for repeatedly making this kind of move, going back to junior.
If the league won't deal with Marchand and Tkachuk, some player will. Their reputations are out there.

Who does this annoy aside from his parents?

I don't understand the relevance.
That was a garbage play as well though.

Par just needed to display how superior he is to you, that's all.

No discipline for Brad Marchand
