Brad Marchand made headlines again for all the wrong reasons thanks to this "sucker punch" during Game 3 against the Blue Jackets Tuesday night.

Marchand punched Scott Harrington in the back of the head after a whistle and scrum in front of the Blue Jackets net, and now many (unsurprisingly) are calling for star forward to be suspended.

You would think that such an unnecessary and dangerous play would provoke the ire of Columbus head coach John Tortorella, but his response when asked about the punch was pretty surprising.

This response coming from the same guy that had this interaction with a media member before Game 3.

You would think Torts would have something, anything, to say about the only thing everyone has been talking about since the moment the punch was thrown, but he took the high road and kept his thoughts to himself.

As Torts said, we can come up with something and the "something" most have come up with is a suspension for Marchand.
