More Suspensions to Repeat Offenders

Jean-Francois Jacques got three games for targetting the head. Brad Marchand got 5 for an illegal clip.

The Jacques video almost seems ho-hum for Shanahan. There's even an audible lip smack after his initial introduction. But the Marchand video goes from quite pleasent (he starts with an unexpected "Hi!"), then digs in with some fangs.

He seems pretty fired up about that clipping. As he should be. My favorite part of the video is showing the buildup which, as mentioned, literally had the same play on with a legal hit.
