I don't mean all of you... just the ones who are all up in arms over the Chara hit on Pacioretty... the ones who are saying that the LEGAL hit Chara made on Pacioretty was fully intended to cripple him.
Give me a break...
1 - Chara was taking Pacioretty out of the play. The hit was legal. Watch it again.
2 - Anyone who doesn't think that a beast like Chara isn't going to cause pain to anyone (especially someone 50lbs lighter and 3/4 of a foot smaller than him) in a full contact sport is delusional.
3 - It was more the location of the rink that the hit took place that explains why such an injury occurred. Pacioretty was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It happens. Had the whole ordeal happened two or three seconds later, it would have happened inside the blue-line, along the boards and the high glass. At worst, Pacioretty would have been temporarily shaken up by getting hammered into the boards.
I'm upset to see that this happened to Max Pacioretty and I wish him a speedy recovery; however, sometimes there are these things in life called coincidences.... and sometimes the outcomes aren't good, even tragic.
Instead of wasting your time whining about Chara getting no suspension, you should be writing the NHLPA in regards to reviewing the restructuring of the rink at the Bell Center and maybe even demanding a review of the safety of other rinks around the NHL.
