i dont think you understand how weak canada's judicial system is. people have gotten 2 years of house arrest for manslaughter.

I'm gonna reiterate my opinion. Everybody should read this post.


The Chara/Pacioretty incident was a dirty hit. He hit him a full 4 strides after he got rid of the puck. That's called interference. On top of that from playing in the NHL for 12+ seasons, and many years of playing minor hockey, Chara positively knows where the benches end and how dangerous it is to hit someone in that spot. It could also be argued that the hit was a retaliatory play based on the fact that Pacioretty shoved Chara after a goal scored by Boston earlier on in the game. It was a dirty hit, no one in their right mind should be arguing otherwise.

i think it was either a drunk driving or beating someone to death. don't remember the details, it was a few years ago. seriously, canada has the least harsh judicial system ever.

I just lost taste in Canada. It is completely unnecessary to file assault charges on a player who finished his hit. Sorry but that just makes Montreal look like a bunch of pussies. Its a sport and shit happens, the police have no right to be involved.

that was a nice hit! keep your head up or get wrecked, welcome to hockey. fuck suspension he didn't make an aggressive illegal move that dude just needs to pay more attention to where he is when he decides to let himself get wrecked.

what level do you ref at? In a low level that is a definite call, but you see late hits go uncalled all the time in high levels of hockey.

honestly if chara wasnt such a fuckin pussy he wouldnt interfere him 1st off and espessially not when he isnt looking and send him into a pretty uncomfortable spot if u ask me haha i think it is totally worth a suspention. last year pronger stepped on someone by accident and got match penelty and this is much worse i think

From an unbiased viewpoint, that is without the primitive/backwards hockey mentality that things like this are "part of the game", there was absolutely intent.

At the risk of sounding completely ignorant, I believe there are some aspects of criminal law that exclude ignorance or accident as a justification to be exonerated from something. After so many years in pro hockey Chara is (or should be) in control of his body and aware of his surroundings. Assuming he is, then he did mean to, even if only for a split second; assuming he wasn't, well that is no excuse. He should definitely be suspended and/or fined.

One option the NHL should consider to avoid these types of incidents, and make the game better in general, is moving to an international ice surface. Hope that all made sense, I'm kind of in a hurry.

how much of an accident was it? did he stab him with a knife but not mean to kill him and killing him was the accident or was it something not as bad as that?

But it wasn't anywhere else, and Chara (probably) knew that. At the very best it's criminal negligence.

idk if the hit was legal or not but this is just another sign that hockey is dying a not-too-slow death. the only reason they don't suspend that guy is the fear of losing their hardcore fans which are pretty much the only type of fans left for this sport. Casual fans have left and aren't coming back so they cling desperately to the people that are still watching.

now they are just embarrassing themselves. By this logic, any time any player in any sport ever gets injured, the team has the right to sue the player.

If I was the head of the NHL I'd dock MTL some points for taking it too far. They already decided his punishment, and they are the top. End of story.

"If you polled 700 NHL players, 680 would say he knows exactly what he's doing and knows the turnbuckle is there."

"I thought it was a dirty play. I thought he knew exactly what he was doing."

-Tanner Glass from the Vancouver Canucks
-----------------------------------------
"When it comes to the pole and the door, it's like hitting a guy from behind. Since Day 1, you're taught not to do that. When you see a door open in an NHL game, you'll hear 15 guys yelling, 'Door! Door! Door!, no matter who the guy nearing it plays for.

"When you're going by the door, the pole there, you let up. When you get around that area, it's (messed) up. It's a different beast."

I'll say it again - where was this Canadian fury when Marc Savard got his clock cleaned by Cooke? I don't recall a criminal investigation that time, nor do I remember Air Canada threatening to pull sponsorship.

It really is embarrassing. I completely understand going to bat for your guy; we'd all do the same. But calling emergency help lines? Suing? Come on.

In my opinion, the club showed far more rationality than its fans. In fact, I respect them for it. Even Pacioretty said he didn't want Chara to be prosecuted.

In the end, it comes down to the pussification of sports. The precedent has been set. Players are no longer players; they are investments. But if things keep going the way they are, we will be seeing fightless hockey and two-hand touch football.

yes, and paccioretty tonight also said that he was disappointed that the league didn't suspend chara, but that it wasn't a dirty hit.

saw it on tv, trying to find it online now...

Habs fans are being so ridiculous over this.

Just because you're the ones getting kinda screwed by an accident doesn't mean you have to pull this bullshit here.

This isn't Steve Moore. Chara Isn't Todd Bertuzzi. Get a grip, and stop being such damn homers... The rest of the league's fans think you're going nuts.
