That is a crazy statement...healthy scratch. Marchand is an emotional leader on this team and he is exactly what you want to get the Pens off their game. Have them chasing him around all night all frustrated.
I do agree that he has a dirty side to his game which I do not like but when he is rolling he is spot on. Did you miss his two GWG against the Rags?????
As far as Jagr...I cannot believe he hasnt cost them. His shifts are way too long and how in Gods name Julien has him out there on a 4 on 4 against the speed of Pittsburgh is beyond me.
Just my opinions also as a Bruins fan.
Marchand out of the league a bit much BUT checking from behind SHOULD be the same penalty for eveyone. Cooke getting major and game and Marchand just getting 2 minutes for the same play is bogus 
the Cooke call was pure "reputation". replay shows McQuaid looked right at him then "showed his numbers" 
Great player...amazing talent but has spent too much time in the Mario Lemieux " How to become a productive whiner" class when he lived with Lemieux for a few years as a rookie.
They both cry and whine when anyone touches them and how dare the referees ever call a penalty on them.
I wish he would just play through adversity...much like Patrice Bergeron does on a daily basis.

Have you seen how many times he has handed the puck to the other team? Pitt is the team where that cannot happen...For some reason Marchand thinks he is Bobby Orr and can skate around and through everyone and it costs the bruins time after time
When Marchand is on his game he is a very valuable player for the Bruins but I haven't seen many good shifts from him in the playoffs....a couple but not many
