that dude. Unintentional my ass. Should have been suspended for the year.
National Hockey League Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations Mike Murphy today issued the following statement on Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara's hit in NHL game #996 last night against the Montreal Canadiens:
"I conducted a hearing with Boston Bruins' defenseman Zdeno Chara with respect to the major penalty for interference and game misconduct that he was assessed at 19:44 of the second period for a hit on Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadiens.
"After a thorough review of the video I can find no basis to impose supplemental discipline. This hit resulted from a play that evolved and then happened very quickly -- with both players skating in the same direction and with Chara attempting to angle his opponent into the boards. I could not find any evidence to suggest that, beyond this being a correct call for interference, that Chara targeted the head of his opponent, left his feet or delivered the check in any other manner that could be deemed to be dangerous.
"This was a hockey play that resulted in an injury because of the player colliding with the stanchion and then the ice surface. In reviewing this play, I also took into consideration that Chara has not been involved in a supplemental discipline incident during his 13-year NHL career."

I'm ****ing disgusted.

what happens when someone dies from a clean open ice hit?
The NHL will find a way to not suspend the hitter if he has no history of dirty plays
something has to open, make it like the Olympics, there is contact but no one is trying to kill eachother
Good luck with that.
Bettman just extended his contract for 5 years
the suspensions should be much worse then they are, you take a guy out for the season, you should have to sit out the season
Yeah, I like Chara, but can't really defend that.
+1
I really like the guy, he had never done anything dirty before that.
And on top of that, he is a great person off the ice.
But still, no excuse for what he did
At first I thought it was an honest mistake, but on the replay, you can see him looking at the par ion before he pushes Pacioretty into it.
Maybe they'll change the par ion now.
They should definitely change the par ion, even though it's not entirely faulty
Jacky Chiles to Pacioretty: " did the par ion have a top on ? "
