ULF: I don't wanna say it was not a dirty hit, but I mean Pacioretty has GOTTA protect himself around a turnbuckle. Both players didn't use their brains on that one. I agree though, it seemed pretty malicious.
but Patches [Max Pacioretty] has to think that theres a moose [Chara] beside him and he should move. Chara should get 10 [games], but the league won't give him any more then 5 [games]
The conversation continued to the aftermath of the collision. The Leafs fan mentioned that "He looked dead" lying on the ice.
ME: The bruins feed of that game, the announcers were like "holy crap that was a crazy hit" [and]
even they were like "that was a late hit"
ULF: Absolutely dirty
Also to mention what another friend, Mike Stackhouse, said, "This stuff didn't happen 20 years ago. Why? Lots of theories. It just didn't."
One final note from the current colour commentator for the Saskatoon Blades on 92.9 The Bull, Cody Nickolet: "Ya looked pretty dangerous. I didn't think it was that bad. Interference but not much more."
Sound off people. All I ask is that bias is set aside on this. Was it dirty? Does Chara need to be suspened? You can comment on here, Facebook me, or e-mail heilzy18@gmail.com
not a clean hit in my mind. chara took advantage of his size a bit to much in this instance, a player knows where the turnbuckle is. there was not much way pacioretty could have protected himself.
ReplyDeletealso to ULF; best keep yourself unnamed cuz we all know the leafs arn't gonna pull through like the flames
It was bad but i think that Pacioretty should have bee paying more attention. Chara was just doing what he does. I could see maybe a few games but 10 seems to be a bit extreme for a late hit.
