Unfortunately it is not illegal to send someone into a stanchion, unless you intend to injure, which was deemed to not be the case by the NHL review. Are you trying to tell me a Habs player has not done this same move in the Bell centre? Its partially the Habs fault for having such a poorly designed stanchion.

Pull your head out of your ass and see the difference between the hits. BTW, I also said I didnt think Pac deserved to be suspended for this hit.

Hal Gill Hits Jon Sim Into Turnbuckle, Habs Fans Cheer. - YouTube Gotta love how the Habs fans cheer when one of their own sends an opposing team into the turn buckle. Hypocrites.

Was waiting for that vid to appear....

Wrong. First of all Chara did indeed put Max's head into the stantion. Second, he knew where he was on the ice, and guided Max into that position (to hit the stantion). It was a predatory hit, done on purpose, jesus, how many NHL'ers spoke about this last year, claiming such? After 13 or so years in the league, you think Chara did not know where he was on the ice and what he was doing?

If the Bruins did not have daddy handing out the suspensions last year, Chara would have been suspended at least 5 or more games. Easily.

Also, I never ever said a Habs player didn't so the same as Chara, so what is your point? None. Another dumb Bruins fan. Thanks for showing up.

First off, do i think chara was intending to make that hit when hé saw the opportunité présent itself? Absolutely. Do i think hé had the intention of ringing mp's Bell? Absolutely. Do i think hé meant to hospitalise mp? Absolutely not. I agrée chara knew exactly where hé was but you cant honestly believe mp didnt know exactly where hé was as well,so im not willing to let him off the Hook for trying to squeeze by chara when hé knew there was nô Room anyways. It took two to tango there and for the record i am NOT a chara fan

....and i cannot tell you how tired i am of reading about "daddy" favoring the Bruins. I hâte the Bruins AND the Habs and "daddy" did a pretty fair job IMO when it was his to do.

I love how some users (wrongly) blew up on the creator of the original thread about wheather Pacioretty was going to get suspended. A player can't get away with these types of hits now.

3 game suspension is the right call. Textbook head/ blindside hit.

You fail to forget that Max was chasing the puck, so in that instance, Chara had no reason to hit him in the first place(of course Chara most likely did not think it would be as devasting as it was, however he was and is guilty of a predatory hit).

Don't care if your tired about the daddy remarks. Guaranteed it would be a suspendable hit this year under Shanny.

You dont have to care if im tired of the "daddy" remarks but its patently clear you and others are intimating that Campbell was favoring the Bruins in his décisions because his son played for the team. In m'y expérience when your father owns the company you work for its actually HARDER to get an even break because hé doesnt Want it to look like your getting an easier road than the others.

Again, Max knew where hé was as well so hé also culpable in this instance with chara, not to mention hé knew where hé was during the letang hit and could have stayed low and délivered the hit with nô shoulder to head contact and chose not to. Would you call it a "predatory" hit as well?

For sure charas hit would be a suspension this year , just like mp's hit on letang would have been considered a hockey play just like charas was last year.....thoughts????

So Max was chasing the puck and Chara dosent have a right to hit him? Are you ok? It seemed like they were both chasing the puck IN THE SAME DIRECTION which was just dropped in a pretty common hockey play that ended up with Max trying to eat the stanchion as Chara pinched him off along the boards. Again, no direct hit from Chara to Maxs head, just Maxs head directly hitting the stanchion. AGAIN, ITS NOT ILLEGAL TO SEND SOMEONE INTO THE STANCHION. Are you are aware that Campbell didnt handle any bruins related disipline issues last year?

What I am wondering is why nobody called 911 when Hal Gill did it on Jon Sim? No suspension. No crying from the Islanders fans. No daddys accused of saving him. Gil 6'8, Chara 6'9. THE SAME EXACT HIT. Now who loses all credibility?

When Max hit Letang he came from the blindside. If it was not for the blindside, I dont think Max would have been suspended as I think the contact was primarily to the shoulder.

They should make a special no checking league for you softy Habs fans.

This is BS. I know a lot of posters on here have or play hockey. You can't sit there and second guess going to the puck, someone else goes for it you hit him. How is that hit any different from Tyler Myers leveling Zubrus. No penalty no suspension, he never attempted to go for the puck, just for the hit. His elbow nails Zubrus in the head, and they talk about it being Zubrus's fault for leaning over. Pathetic.

Do you have bricks for a brain. Max chasing after a puck and Chara hitting him = interference, which = a penalty. Dude you have no clue about hockey, let alone actually playing it.

Chara did infact knock Max into the stantion, therefore obviously creating his head hitting the stantion, or did you expect Max to duck his head under his sweater or pull an ET and stretch his neck???

No one is talking about Gill & Sim, **** your dense. If you cannot rebuttal and present any facts about Chara & Max, then leave it alone.

Again, it was a predatory hit, it was a foot race for a puck, no one had possesion. Therefore Chara's hit was illegal, took him purposely into the boards. Go back and look up what the NHL'ers said about the hit. Your opinion is baseless.

He would have been suspended this year. That is as clear as daylight.

Culpable? How so? Since he did not have possession of the puck, how was he to know that Chara was going to railroad him?

Exactly what I was saying all along. Why do you think Campbell was replaced? Chara would have gotten at least 5 games for his hit. Easily.

Max hit a player carrying the puck, which is a legal play. My problem with it is that it was a blindside hit. I don't think the intent to injure was there, but he should have not hit him like that. Definately a suspension worthy hit this year.

Culpable for putting himself in that vulnérable position and leaving chara an easy target IMO anyways.

Campbell was Rémoved from all décisions involving bruin incidents and rightly so, im not much of a conspiracy theorist so for me ill take it for what it was.

You didnt address mp on letang, hockey play last year, suspension this year.

I always Enjoy our debates cj! LOL
