since seeing those pictures, changed my mind. pretty brutal and totally unnecessary to put his arm up like that to make the hit.

Anyone who thinks this was a clean hit is fucking retarded. IT WAS INTERFERENCE. The elbow can be argued, but it is textbook interference.

IF CHARA HAD NOT INTERFERED, PACIORETTY WOULD NOT BE INJURED. He has a fractured vertabrae out of this. The punishment should fit the crime, Chara has possibly ended someones career, Chara's season should be over at least. Fuck the NHL.

why are intent to injure penalties in place then? i dont think you understand how hockey rules work. that was not a clean hit, and someone got injured out of it, thats why its not ok.

why do you think most hits that result in injuries are dirty? because clean hits 9/10 dont hurt people.

anyone that thinks that hit was clean needs to get a reality check. might as well call the bertuzzi/steve moore incident clean too then right? and the marty mcsorely/donald brashear incident clean too right? hey they're allowed to hurt eachother amiright?

no you fucking kooks, why do you think the penalty for "intent to injure" is in place then?

Proof my ass. These photos coming out are extremely deceptive...

The footage of the event paints a better picture. It's interference for sure... but I highly doubt injury was intended.

i also doubt he actually went in to it thinking "oh ya im gonna hurt him" but i think he went in a little bit harder than he should have, considering the position on the ice, their surroundings, their speed, etc. a good hockey player should always subconsciously analyze these factors and make the right play. It is possible to be really competitive and still be sportsmanlike, making sure you dont seriously injure anyone is part of the game and a big factor in the establishment of rules/penalties such as interference.

because something like that can't go down without resulting in a major penalty

the reason this shit doesn't happen more often is because those posts exist on less than 1% of the boards so the chances of being hit into one are very very low

i agree the photos are deceptive. it was interference but chara didn't intentionally make contact with his head and shove it into the pole. after watching the video a bunch of times from all angles that really did not happen

It's Chara... he's Hockey's Shaq... once you get that train going, there's little stopping it... and he's not one to hold back for a SECOND - you know that...

Anything he does is 'harder than he should have' because he's got 100lbs and 6 inches on everyone...

all you people trying to say that he intended to do it are dumb, it is impossible for any of us to tell either way if it was intended or not, the only person who knows is the dude that did it himself, so all of this speculation of whether he did it or not is just retarded

this is the way it should be, but people just don't pay enough attention. chara is a goon. he didn't wanna get beat. i don't think he assessed the situation, i think he just did what he usually does and used his 6'9 body to get himself in front

Showing that video over and over again on the news is about as classy as showing the video of the luger who was killed in the Olympics. Sure he didn't die, but it is a brutal, sickening hit to watch.

"I thought it was a dirty play. I thought he knew exactly what he was doing," said Vancouver Canucks forward Tanner Glass. "It's unfortunate that a player got hurt that way. I think if you poll 700 NHL players, a good majority are going to say he knows exactly what he was doing and he knows the turnbuckle's there."

i dont agree 100% with this guy, but i agree with him on the part that most players would agree that he knew the partition was there. even if he wasnt out to hurt him, just the fact that he knew the partition was there shouldve been enough to avoid this whole situation.

Plus it's not like Chara is an unexperienced player that isn't used his surroundings or the pace of an NHL game.

My buddy back in high school checked a kid like that. It wasn't dirty by any means, the kid had the puck just at the wrong place at the wrong time where the glass met at the end of the bench. Broke his arm in 3 places.

hockey doesnt have halfs and if youre a candian you should fucking know that. Chara is just a massive 6'9" guy finishing his check. if you know anything about hockey you would know that he was not trying to do that on purpose. mullet melrose doesnt think it was dirty because its not, its hockey, and thats not the first time someone has hit the turnbuckle like that

chara was given a 5 minute major for interference. i was talking to all the people claiming that hurting each other was part of the sport by saying that the penalty for intent to injure exists in the rulebook for a reason.

I don't know what no one has pointed out that Chara wasn't even looking at the guy. He was looking down the ice at the puck, and stuck out his arm and pushed the guy next to him. He didn't look back at him after he hit the turnbuckle, because he didn't even realize that it had happened.

read the report Chara was cleared of all wrong doing it was a legal hit and unintentional, he will not be suspended or fined, whether or not the guy he hit had the puck nor not doesnt matter it was a legal hit playing hockey is not supposed to be a safe sport, that area of the rink is dangerous especially because of the 90 degree part between the bench and the boards. it was all just unlucky. btw it was at the end of the 2 period no such thing as halfs in hockey

Tanner Glass is awesome, i ran into him at whole foods randomly once and hes a really classy nice guy. i would have to agree with him.

also pacioretty says his goal is to play in the nhl again, they aren't sure if he will again though

The irony in the OP is damn funny. You just lost taste in watching hockey right before the second half hey? Clearly you have never watched much hockey at all if you don't even know there are periods, not halfs.

The truth of the matter is this shit happens all the time and it's not going to change. That's hockey, if you don't like it don't play/watch. Ya it was dirty, that's why he got thrown out of the game.

i think the man with experience in the league knows what he's talking about. anyone who is stupid enough to think chara didn't do that on purpose is an idiot. he knew what he was doing ,and it was a completely unnecessary move, and you can see even the boston coach looks fucking embaressed. anyone who wants to argue that he didn't know where he shoving him is fucking stupid. that's a bully bullshit move and it's disgusting. he knew exactly why and when he pushed him. he was just being an asshole looking for a fight or to start shit and he clearly caught more than he bargained for.

Not at all.  Rarely are players dumb enough to skate there if they anticipate contact, which he should have since they were bumping along the boards anyways.

Im sorry but you can't tell me that Chara, a professional hockey player of 15 years, didn't know exactly where he was on the ice. Whether he meant to send him into the turnbuckle or not I don't know. But he knew where he was at and he knew something was going to happen.
The hit was sooo late.

I do know that everyone in montreal was dialing the emergency line after the NHL didn't give Chara a suspension and clogging it up, instead of leavin it free for real emergencies..

you know what disgusts me the most, how fucking arrogant you people are about all this. no ones concerned that someone is severely injured because of a stupid move, and people won't drop either their pro boston pride or anti canadiens pride to just look at a AWFUL situation that happened to some kid who's still in the hospital. have some fucking dignity and some respect for another human being, i'd be equally as repulsed if one of our players did that to someone else. that's purely fucking tragic. he'll be lucky to ever play again, so who knows what happened. that's the problem with sports these days is people lack fucking compassion. you people get way to indulged into it and forget that's just fucking hockey. yeah we wanna win, yeah we wanna compete, but no one's fucking life should be jeopardized. getting your neck sliced opened by a skate is a FLUKE accident, this is just a fucking ASSHOLE player who's notorious for being an asshole, who probably forgot how strong he was or whatever who made an unnecessary, poorly thought through hit on someone half his size. what the fuck makes you so sure you know what chara was thinking anyways? stop being a fucking asshole. if other people in the nhl think his move was disgusting then maybe all you fans need to open your eyes and take your heads out of your asses. LETS ALL IGNORE THE GUY IN THE HOSPITAL PLEASE IT WAS LEGAL NO ONE WAS SEVERELY INJURED. dude shut the fuck up. the announcers aren't impressed, the coaches aren't impressed, and players all over the nhl aren't impressed - open your fucking eyes. stop being ignorant and prideful. you're disgusting human beings.
