Boston Bruins forward�Brad Marchand was the talk of the NHL once again last night, unfortunately it wasn't in regards to his offensive ability.�
With the Bruins up 1-0 in the third period last night, Marchand took a five minute penalty for interference after a hit that was deemed questionable, arguably targeting Tavares' head on the hit.�
While many NHL reporters believed Marchand would receive a suspension for the hit, however it looks like the NHL doesn't feel it's necessary.�
Luckily for Bruins fans, Marchand will not have a hearing for his hit on Tavares as Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.�
With Marchand already being labeled a repeat offender, it's actually surprising that the B's forward won't have any type of hearing.
After the game, Tavares was asked about if he felt the hit was suspension worthy.�
"I'm fine," Tavares said after the game, according to�Staple. "I think the video speaks for itself on that one. Don't have much else to say."
Did the NHL make the right call?
