Marchand suspended for 3 games

NHL video explaining why Bruins Brad Marchand was suspended.

Today the NHL announced that Bruins forward Brad Marchand has been suspended for 3 games for his hit/clipping on Senators Mark Borowiecki on December 29th. That means Marchand will miss the Winter Classic game on Friday.

It was a dumb move by Marchand to make the hit and I'm surprised he didn't get more games because of his history. Even if what Marchand said is true, about him not going for the hit but rather trying to turn back up the ice to go after the puck, you can't make that turn because you're going to make contact with the other person.
