Maybe a fine but that's it. Probably could have been 4 minutes but whatever. Certainly not any kind of embellishment

It's a dirty play for sure. But the league should be looking into it. I don't care if it's a fine, games or nothing. At least act like you care about player safety.

I'm no fan of the Habs, and I love Chara, but just seemed totally unnecessary and pretty hard to dispute that he's aiming for that general area.

Does Gallagher do a little flourish for the ref? Right after contact, he throws his head sideways to the left. Anyway, I don't really blame him if he did.

You don't think Chara did anything wrong here?
Chara crosschecked Gallagher, got two minutes, end of story. Some folks in here might feel like it was Valentine's Day Massacre 2.0: it wasn't. Those folks need to get a grip. Or maybe switch to curling, if something like this gets their blood up THAT much. That's what I think.

Just didn't seem to be part of the play is all.

Anyway, I might have given a 4-minute double minor.

Chara was not penalized on the play. (Edit: I was wrong)

Wasn't a part of the play and a crosscheck to the neck. 2 Games was what they gave Johan Larsson for something similar and they even acknowledged his was an accident. Spin the wheel! I'm guessing he doesn't get anything.

I think a few years ago this may have been a fine, but the league has such a grey area for this kind of stuff now... 2 minutes for big z. Not sure what gally got his 2 for though.

Ah really? I seem to recall him and Gallagher in the box...

Nevermind I was wrong he got 2 minutes, still weird though that Gallagher got the penalty. Their actions were no where equal, I don't see Chara getting suspended though.
