Vinny tries to sneak one in while Fraser gets in between the two, and pissed off Chara in the process, and Chara got him in about as vulnerable a position as a a guy can end up. He didn't even seem like he wanted to fight, but Vinny's punch set him off.

chara with CLEAR win in quick fight!
landing only shots.Lecavalier went down, he was weak.

Vinny should pick on someone his own size.

Posted by Bonecrusher1976 on Apr 15, 2007 at 2:54 AM agree

You almost could smell Lecavalier ****ting his pants.

give chara credit for being classy: not hitting lecavalier when he was down.

Posted by onepunch on Mar 11, 2009 at 9:58 PM agree

I'd like to see Chara actually throw a punch in a fight, rather than just wrestle the guy to the ground

shows guts from Lecavalier

The fight wasn't great, though I must say, Lecavalier did try hard to hold up against Chara, but Chara definitly won the fight. I'm agreeing with what the play-by-play announcer said, that I respect Chara for not throwing that last punch.

Varada does what he does, setting off a series of mismatches for both teams. Vinny can protect himself but he is not even close to Chara in terms of pugilism.

The big man finishes Lecavalier with his patented arm cock while Vinny winces with a near death experience.

Damn Chara showed some mercy there at the end. He could have thrown that last right. I'd like to see a good Chara fight however though.

Imagine if Chara had dropped the hammer!

"Lets start a riot! A Riot!"

Give Vinnie full marks for showing up but thank God the Big Z. let up or this could have been real ugly.
