Habs’ Pacioretty diagnosed with concussion, cracked vertebra: Bill Beacon, The Toronto star
Boston’s Zdeno Chara will face no further league discipline for the hit that hospitalized Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty. NHL senior vice-president Mike Murphy called the Chara hit “a hockey play that resulted in an injury because of the player colliding with the stanchion and then the ice surface.” “I could not find any evidence to suggest that, beyond this being a correct call for interference, 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.” “He remains under observation in hospital. There is no other prognosis at this time,” Martin said after practice Wednesday. Murphy, who had a telephone hearing with the Bruins captain Wednesday, said he took into consideration that Chara has not been involved in a supplemental discipline incident during his 13-year NHL career.
First of all, I don't care if a player has never been in a supplemental discipline incident, If he did it, punish him, if he didn't, don't! I personally believe the league should be ashamed that they didn't fine Chara, let alone suspend him. Head shots have been a growing worry in the NHL, and people always say they need to crack down on them, and once they have this chance to make an example of Chara, they let him get away with it. Besides that i feel terrible for Pacioretty, even though i hate the Habs, and how he recovers, not to play necessarily, but to keep a healthy life.
