Here's the problem with all the people saying that Chara intended to drive Pacioretty into teh stanchion (Habs fans you may not want to read this 'cause you won't like it)
What are the odds that during a game, that all admit moves damn fast, that Chara could have actually thought far enough ahead and timed his hit on Pacioretty so that he could have slammed him into that stanchion?
I took only a high school level statistics class I admit, but from what I have seen and know, I think it's safe to say that those odds are about as long as me being able to tap dance...
It was an unfortunate hit, a damaging hit, but a purposely timed and executed hit? No way, unless Chara admits to being a calculus genius and even if he says he is, I'd call bullshit.
P.S. why don't Habs fans get on the fact the stanchions at the Bell Centre have almost zero padding?
If the damn things have to be where they are (and Cherry made a great case to show why they don't have to be there) put more padding on the goddamn things
