...why do people hate Leafs fans though?!?

Bertuzzi is an idiot to "slash" Marchand in that fashion after a whistle, but that's a clear dive to exaggerate for a call and it worked. Almost always does in all these sports if you play it off right.

Marchands going to play in the premier league now.

Marchand is an embarrassment. Bring back fines for embellishment

This is shameful stuff from marchand, and the refs should feel embarrassed, but you can see Bert decide he's going to do this from all the way in the corner. It's his lack of discipline in that moment that kicks off the the chain of events that gives marchand the chance to flop.
