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

[Jigger77]

Tough guy Chara with some dirty stick work on a guy half his size.

That screen shot is quite clear.... I imagine it would take a few moments of your time to find it if you so desire.

True, context is irrelevant.

You now have all the material you need to find it. Not everyone is skilled with embedding video in a forum.

All you have to do is post the link and it embeds itself for you. It's not a complicated endeavor.

I'm a Habs fan but I guess the Bruins hate for Gallagher is similar to ours for Marchand.

Only difference Gallagher plays an honest hard game and doesn’t do any of the dirty stuff Marchand resorts to

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Chara continues with his cowardly play.

What a wuss hiding behind his freakish size and strength!

f***ing Jeremy Jacobs league, absolute disgrace

Here i'll do it for him, go to 39 seconds...i am not sure if this is the play in which that still frame comes from as i honestly can't find that exact spot.

I know, but he irritates the hell out of it's opponents and he basically laughs in their faces at times. but, I love Gally!

another incident, and he’s considered a repeat offender. That’s why they fine.

This. Basically a person ends up almost not suspendable until they have a record. Chara has done many things that would get others suspended. If you don't give him a fine and a meeting, you condone a headshot, do not let the player know it is not acceptable and set the bar that makes it more difficult to remedy such transgressions going forward. It isn't about money.

yeah, happens at around :46 - not even close to the same amount of force used by Chara

Earlier this season Alex Kerfoot was suspended 2 games when he tripped Erik Johnson into the boards, however prior to that he never had any record from the Department of Player Safety.

Here’s another. It’s a good thing Habs players don’t do anything to warrant a response.

I think Z is a dirty hockey player...that being said you can see the contact being made from Pasta's face...thats legit lol

 

[thecloser]

Chara is a total loser. Retire.

As far as Gally is concerned, whenever y'all are ready to move him, give Nashville a call would ya? I love that guy.

Not saying they can't suspend whatsoever but the more of a record you have, the more likely. Player Safety even quotes it in their rulings.

I just think something like Kerfoot being suspended with no previous record is where the Department of Player Safety is very inconsistent.

 

[Maitz]

honest question, did you watch the game or simply hear the Marchand 'speared' Petry.

Lol I watched it, saw it live when it happened of you want to know as well

Except this does not actually label Chara a repeat offender (and he didn't even get a meeting for this; they are trusting the fine will send a message on its own). See here.
"History" is different than repeat offender status, and they've already chosen to ignore his history when making this decision (imo).

ok thanks. just seems to me that was the least of the infractions. cross checks, slash

 

[Divine]

Kadri was suspended 5 playoff games and a game misconduct for basically the same thing?

Unreal what the Bruins get away with

 

[Sheppy]

And Marchand is 5x the player. So there’s another bit of difference there.

 

[weastern bias]

Forget any preconceptions you may have about any of the players or the teams involved

The fact that a player crosschecking an opponent in the throat only warrants a $5K fine says everything you need to know about the Department of Player Safety

They have NO genuine concern for the well being of their players, they exist solely as an arm of the league's Public Relations Department

The DoPS is a farce and the people who are in charge of it should be ashamed of the consistent abdication of their responsibilities

 

[Sniper99]

It was a penalty of course, so not 'allowed'. Simply understandable. On we go with the hockey season.

He got fined for it.shiuld have been way more than that but you guys will defend anything your players do and cry wolf when that happens to them. Typical

Yet again, it isn't even remotely the same.

 

[Rangediddy]

Gallagher wore that like a CHAMP

 

[LeafsNation75]

Yet again, it isn't even remotely the same.

Obviously since Kadri got DeBrusk in the face and Chara got Gallagher in the neck.

However since DeBrusk went down and stayed on the ice it's what lead to Kadri's suspension, even though he was fine and played the next game. If Gallagher did the same thing maybe Chara gets more than a $5,000 fine.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Gallagher is one tough due. Took that dirty crosscheck like a champ. If he went down, Chara would have got 4 minutes.
