from Matt Porter of the Boston Globe,
Some unprintable and exceedingly personal comments from Florida star Matthew Tkachuk, including some about a member of Tomas Nosek’s family, accidentally made the live broadcast this series. When asked if Tkachuk had crossed the line, Marchand spun the question back at a reporter.
“I think the NHL and the media outlets cross the line by allowing those mikes,” he said. “There’s a reason guys don’t want mikes on the bench and that’s why, because they’re going to take advantage of it at some point and they did. Regardless of what’s said by Tkachuk or other guys, there should never be an instance where a mike picks up any of that stuff.”
“The fact that the media outlets allowed that to happen, it’s very disrespectful to the (broadcast) agreement we have in place. It’s going to get guys in trouble.”
WTF? Maybe just dont say awful shit, even on-ice? What a joke. You think you should be able to hide what you say to people in the workplace? Good luck at Burger King, I guess.
Uh, Chet, you are familiar with the game of hockey? Kids start chirping each other at around Atom. By the time they hit 16 not much of it is suitable for family viewing. That's not going to stop.
Totally agree Dwgs. I actually agree with Marchand on this as well. Things get heated and stupid things will be said, in any sport or even many relationships. things said may not be appropriate but they happen.
