Honestly SO funny. My statement above is proven.

They are both similar. Clean hits. As for Eaton, nobody has ever said it was a clean hit. I even wrote about it stating that if Eaton and Patches had a season long disagreement and he did that, I'd assume it would have been on purpose and would want him suspended too. And we are the ones who are pathetic? Take off the homer glasses for once because I know there are intelligent Boston fans as I've spoken to many even living in St. Catharines but you sir are definately not one.

Funny thing is it was almost one year ago that Marc Savard jumped into Matt Cookes shoulder.

That isn't even what I was meaning it too and I can read fine. Anyway we both won't agree on it so we can drop it. Can't wait till Boston gets those "smurf pussies" again. Hopefully nobody dies...

Nothing showed but the point they are trying to prove clearly hoped right over your head.

You really don't understand why they are doing this and that's fine becase you hate Montreal. The Boston Bruins as a team HATE Montreal. From the comments before the game saying we are divers to after calling out Pouliot for not fighting again. Zdeno Chara does not hit Brian Gionta or Travis Moen....he hits the guy who was under his skin. Out of everyone on that roster it was the one guy who he was battling with who is now sitting in a hospital bed and may never play hockey again. Now there is no way to prove it without Chara admitting he did that on purpose but the point is you cannot look past what had happened before when the result was so dangerous. If this would have been a Canadiens vs. Predators and Shea Weber would have done this to Patches, I'm sure people would still be angry but then it looks a lot more innocent coming from someone without a history between the two. As for the Goverment, they have a huge role in Hockey Canada and this is a huge news worthy event that brings bad praise to the sport. I'm not saying they know what a dirty hit looks like but they know what a near death experince in hockey looks like and they commented on it.

If somebodies head is shoved into a pole outside the arena, then they investigate that no? What makes it any difference inside the arena? I don't think Chara should ever go to court but it's making a mockery out of the NHL that the Canada Goverment had to warn them and now the police are involved that the NHL decided within 24 hours.

Lopez had another strong game but Farmer got owned by Gaines. What a solid ten day pickup.

Glad to see he's doing better. The Canadian Goverment isn't too pleased with the NHL's decision and the police in Montreal are investigating it as well. Pretty sad stuff.

How did we pull this off!

The dude is out for the rest of the season and maybe longer. I think he DID hurt him lol.

If it was by accident, how come the first incident to happen in the arena like this since it was built in 1996 does it accidently happen between someone whose been in conflict with the victim? Canadiens have played 41 games each season since that 1996 season and I've never seen something so dangerous happen.

You keep ignoring my main point but that's fine. Two different views.

We are winning? HOW!

You can say that about almost every check from behind. If the Flyers player would not have been facing the boards then Smid would never have made such a nasty hit.

I guess we will have to disagree. A guy whose played in the NHL for 12 seasons so clearly knows the deminsions of the rink hits someone who he's had a past grudge against into one of the most dangerous areas of the ice is clearly trying to injure considering they were down by four and Patches didn't even have the puck on his stick. I'd feel the EXACT same way if PK had done this to Mike Richards in the same cirsumstances. Out of every single Montreal player, it's the dude who got under his skin. Hopefully Chara learns never to do something so stupid.

So because he never pushed Lapierre into the boards means he wouldn't push Patches? And it's awful hard to keep your head up when it's being smashed into a wall. Pure dirtiness.

I enjoy the CD. Got some catchy tunes.

I just got to laugh that the arena has been open since 1996 and we've never seen something like that yet Patches clearly gets under the skin of Chara and this "randomly" happens? C'mon now.

But your gif does! That whole committee is a joke anyways. I'm surprised PK Subban doesn't have to apoligize for the hit to Patches.

Not for Montreal lol.

The funniest thing is we got beat up by the "tough" Bruins and needed to get tougher. We signed George Laraque and then nobody would fight him. We release him and now the Bruins are calling our team the pussies. It's a no win situation so you just gotta laugh when you talk to people like you brags about fight wins rather than wins.
