Kapoutman will tell you how much I love Chara from his time at the Sens, and even I can see it was a horrible hit.

Wait maimed with a vicious elbow?

Are we talking about Matt Cooke incident here because there was no elbow, it was all shoulder.

Maybe he didnt plan on leading his head into that Turnbuckle, but he was pushing it it somewhere. Had it been 3 feet further down ice, his head still would have been pushed by charas hand into a hard surface. Still wouldnt be very good.

Chara with a boarding penalty tonight.

Yeah that was a boarding penalty too... He hit the ice 10 feet before he even hit the boards. You are a fucking moron. Honest to God, you are such an idiot. You know zero about hockey and what you pretend to know is pulled from random sources. A complete joke.

who are you talking to

FA obviously. Who else would I be talking about? It's embarrassing. Honestly it is embarrassing.

You didn't answer my question when you said Savard got hit with a vicious elbow were you talking about the infamous Cooke hit?

Looks like the Chara issue is going to become a bigger issue for the NHL.

Air Canada wants to end its sponsorship of the NHL and the NHL responded that if they want out, the NHL will cancel its bookings with the airliner and find a new one.

If Air Canada decides to drop its sponsorship, it also looses exemption rights for flights in the US due to US laws not allowing foreign airlines to operate just in the US.

The Prime Minister of Canada is even speaking out about head shots now.

Joe Thornton calls out Spilchuk's team for getting special treatment from the league, couldn't have anything to do with Gregory Campbell tho, not at all LOL.

Also in this article Henrik Sedin calls out Chara too.

Oh yeah and

Max never looked better. heh. Typical over-reaction from people who have probably seen 2 games in their life.

Its amusing, I'm the idiot but you can't admit someone on your team crossed the line.

Nearly everyone in this thread has shown you evidence to the contrary on what you think chara did and what professionals in the league have said about chara is critisizing not condoning.

I have never had a problem with you Spilly, but I have to say you are being a huge homer dude. Ill ignore your previous comment because I know your better then that.

Simply put mate, its NOT just Montreal fans who are pissed at what happened. I will never hold Chara in the same respect again. Lastly, i want to make it clear, i don't hate the bruins or even chara but i have lost all respect for him.

Been watching for over 20 years but nice try

17 years for myself. Just want to notate that.

Fuck Boston.

NATHAN GERBE.

It's an over-reaction. I HIGHLY doubt Chara ment to do that. It's typical pussy Habs fans bitching about another player running one of their pussy players.

Doesnt matter. Even if he didnt aim for the Buckle - Still a hit to the head, and still was trying to push that head into something, anything. I can buy that he didnt know the turnbuckle was there, but I wont believe one of the Best Hockey Players on the Planet didnt know there was going to be SOMETHING there. Like I said, even if it was the glass, it would have been a BS hit.

I'm not a Habs fan. And it's still a dirty hit. Even if he didn't mean to do it (and based on the video, it sure looks like he did), he's still responsible.

And its not an OVERREACTION.

Dude has broken vertebrae due to a hit to the head. And people want a suspension. Even just one game. Which happened to jsut about every other head hit. Shit, someone jsut got 3 games yesterday (slips my mind who).

Gertner is one classy fellow. We should all strive to be just like him.

Kubina on Bolland, was suspended 3 games for an elbow to the head.

It was mildly entertaining!

I'll agree that Chara's hit on Pacioretty was dirty, but a police investigation? C'mon, give me a break.

See? That I can get behind.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rHHMZkpvw6c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There always has been a double standard for most Habs fan...
Regardless, Chara should have got some sort punishment. Chara showed no respect to Pacioretty. You don't have to like your opponents, but you have to respect them. Pacioretty might never play again, it's no better than what Todd Bertuzzi did.

Speaking of Hal Gill...

Rick Rypien is playing for the Moose right now. Nice to have him as a spare part for a playoff drive.

Wait for it...



Wait for ITTTTTTT!!!!!!!

















HAL GILL MADE A DIRTY HIT!!!!!









OMFG, The world didnt explode because I talked bad about a member of my team!

Why is no one talking about how Nathan Horton is

a) A Bitch who was punked by a 5'6 Gerbe

or

b) A Flopping Bitch?

Either way, hes a pussy ass bitch

Fuck Boston

Wait, someone got punked by the midget? Lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-eBR...layer_embedded

The Midge makes Horton looks like a bitch.

Here is why I love that so much.

Either Horton is a Bitch or a flopper. I love Gerbe but he shouldnt put a POWER FORWARD like Horton on his ass.

McCormick was gassed but dragged Lucic (one of the baddest men in the NHL) into a fight ( his 2nd) while he was gassed at the end of a shift, after just fucking WRECKING BOYCHUCK.

Then Gerbe out hustles everyone in my Sabres goal f the year to win the game.

BAM

Gerbe next to Myers is ridiculous.

Gerbe makes St. Louis look like Eric Lindros

Don Cherry blames Habs owner and the arena for Pacioretty's injury.

also calls out Air Canada and Via Rail


Also he apparently had to ask Ron Maclean what Max Pacioretty's name was, and referred to him as that guy. He also reduced Pacioretty's injuries to "being at home with a headache"

As if we needed more Proof that Don Cherry is a dipstick

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle1940068/

Don, wtf man.

There are 6 arenas in the NHL without seamless glass and board. wantto know what its like to be checked into it head first? Bend over and run into the side of the arena on the way in.

Cost to install vastly safer glass and boards? $250,0000

No one can deny the design of the rink was a contributing factor. Its not 100% Chara's fault.

PS
Suck it fLames
