Chara crosscheck to Gallagher’s neck (Update: fined $5k)

[bb_fan]

Should change your name to quick draw mcgraw...

 

[BruinLVGA]

Ahahahah. No.

 

[Durnberg]

Bruins fan here

definitely in the throat and that was dirty, should have been called 4 mins. At first I thought his stick rode up Gallagher’s arms but that isn’t the case

Props to Gallagher for standing up. He could have fallen and rolled around and I don’t think I’d blame him if he did. It looked bad.

LOL Kassian gets two games for a dustup with a turtle chicken and a blatant cross check to the face is worth nothing?

Would not surprise me with this league and how it's discipline dept is run

Never touched his face, just because you keep saying won’t make it true.

 

[Bridges31]

He’ll get as much as Crouse got for a vicious elbow to McAvoy’s head

 

[The Big Swede13]

The guy is a p***y not really surprised he did that

 

[LouJersey]

The guy is a ***** not really surprised he did that

I know right? Who throws their head back like that?

 

[Canadienna]

And the best part?

They both got 2 minutes...

But ya know, Montreal Typical amirite guys?

 

[deeb]

cross checking a guy in the face definately show how tough Chara is

It has nothing to do with being tough.

One guys a midget and the other a giant.

What did you think would happen?

Are you going to start whining about every play in front of the net as well?

Should players from other teams just embrace in a man hug instead?

 

[Pi]

This is the DoPS. Count yourselves lucky if Chara has to pay a 2500 fine.

 

[mouser]

Fine at most, doubt there’s a suspension.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

CLASSY VETERAN LEADER Chara is an NHL darling so probably not

 

[Sheppy]

White water rafting down the river for years.

 

[Tuggy]

If this happened to Krug, he'd be rolling on the ice.

crosschecking a guy in the face is a coward move but not surprising to see from a guy like Chara who has gotten away with it his whole career

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

No fine. No suspension. Shouldn’t be either.

The 2 minute penalty was sufficient enough.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I know Boston and Montreal have a long standing hatred for each other, but some of these posts are beyond ridiculous

 

[General Disarray]

He's like 13 inches shorter than him. If he was full height, it would just be a friendly hit to the chest.

 

[Bandit]

It’s Gallagher bobble head night in Boston? Weird.

 

[LouJersey]

he’s no Kovalchuk

 

[Bounces R Way]

Really just need one all encompassing 2 minute minor thread.

 

[smack66]

2 refs, 2 linesman, let's guess and call that one on McAvoy

 

[Avsboy]

Don't mess with Chara

 

[LeafsNation75]

I'm not one to defend any Montreal Canadiens player but at the very least Chara should get a fine, although knowing the Department of Player Safety chances are nothing will happen.

 

[The Laukomotive]

If this happened to Krug, he'd be rolling on the ice.

Well yes, but actually no.

 

[TD Charlie]

2 minutes. Move along.
