Once Again, Articles About Licking
How far we’ve fallen! I have to assume this is all just an attempt to invite retaliation, but even in a sport where pushing, shoving, and fighting is just another day at the office, licking someone, even in a non-sexual fashion, seems to be crossing a line. We talked last week about whether or not the NHL stepped in and said something, but I feel like Marchand is pushing them to a point where they have to say or do something. Perhaps Marchand wants a new penalty named after him?

The consensus appears to be that licking doesn’t belong in hockey. If we end up playing the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup, what’s the over/under on licking incidents for the duration of the series. Who do you think Brad Marchand would lick?
