Chara tries to fight Getzlaf (Mod warning page bazillion)

[Terry Yake]

Getz would not have held his own against Chara lol

he would have definitely held his own before chara wrestled him to the ground

 

[tny760]

ritchie hit was dead clean and i absolutely loathe that f***ing guy

followup hit by chara was a little iffy but not bad

getzlaf asked for the fight with chara with that slash then his mitts miraculously got sticky

also: edwards commenting on the ritchie hit was f***in embarrassing. he knows that was clean but he's just vilifying it because its against a bruin. so tired.

 

[Legion34]

On what planet was that hit bad?

 

[Willy Stylez]

Freakin refs let them go.

IMO ten feet is enough for interference. Particularly as shot was flubbed. If it hadn’t been flubbed it would have been on goal.

IMO can’t smoke a player following through on shot.

Notice my use of IMO please.

So, next time a player takes a shot, and the puck is 30 feet away, you'll be upset if your player lays the body on them, right?

Your second "IMO" is simply wrong. You can smoke a player following through on a shot. The first one might just be opinion, though I disagree with it. The second one is simply inaccurate. No opinion needed.

I said "at that moment"

Did you miss the part where Backes was laying on the ice?

Ya... he got laid out by ritchie.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

He sure seemed to try to have the ref in between him & Chara at all times. If that's not fear, it might be just a very strong instinct of self preservation. Nothing wrong with that.

that move is called "The Komisarek"

at least until the refs said "ok, go" and he got ruined by Lucic twice.

and sorry Ducks fans, Getzlaf wanted nothing to do with Chara there. He tapped, realized what he had done then hid. And no, he isnt one of the toughest in the league, any good middleweight and up would tune him up badly.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Getzlaf might be thankful for the refs on this one

"Might"?

So Ritchie throws a late hit; Chara responds with a late hit on a different player and starts throwing punches at Getzlaf after Getzlaf slashed him from behind instead of challenging Chara to a fight and then Getzlaf makes sure that a linesman is in between him and Chara; commentator complains and praises both of Chara's plays.

Edit: not that Ritchie and Getzlaf are choir boys, or that Getzlaf would have done well in that fight.

Fixed it for you.

 

[HansonBro]

Whats the scoop on Backes today?

Fixed it for you.

That's called a fairy tale.

He practiced.

Cept getzlaf seemed more then down to go but refs jumped in, people act like getzlaf skated to the refs and hid.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Chara Getz-laf out of that one.

I'm curious how you know that.

 

[Canovin]

What's to pretend? Getzlaf is a tough player. That's not really a matter of debate, I guess unless you never see him play.

I can't remember the last time Getz fought anyone and come on top.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

why would getzlaf be scared of chara? he's the one guy on the ducks who could hold his own against the wrestler

also, lol @ anyone calling that hit on backes questionable. that's a textbook hit

Most textbook hits aren’t late

Don’t know who you support, but I’ll be watching with interest for your reaction in case one of your guys gets smoked in similar fashion. I may be wrong, but I suspect you’ll have an opinion that might differ from your stance on this. Apologies in advance if I’m wrong.

 

[Canovin]

Chara is 6'9, 250lbs and actually knows how to fight. Only scenario I see is Getz holding onto Chara for dear life

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Being tough and winning fights are 2 different things.


No one is saying hes a great fighter

 

[tny760]

Most textbook hits aren’t late

and it wasn't late, that's less than 1 second real time from when he whiffs on the shot to contact

 

[Sojourn]

Well, of course not, you never watch him. I thought we covered that.

 

[nbwingsfan]

In before Getzlaf ran like a baby

Honestly, I'd be turtling too. Chara is about the only player in the league that I wouldn't judge a player for backing down from. He's terrifying.

 

[BruinLVGA]

You guys forgot Getslaf just came back from having orbital surgery? Why would he risk getting punched and aggravating it ? Thats probably why Getz was hesitant.. Dude just had major facial surgery to repair bones in face.. lol

Re bolded... Honest comment.

But if he doesn't want to fight, he needs not slash Chara. I don't think that he was expecting a "thank you" note back for that.

Slashes Chara in the leg and then hides behind the refs. What a Captain. Ritchie learned well. Even a midget like Krug will drop the gloves after a questionable hit but this 240lb tough guy couldn’t get away fast enough.

Fake tough guy. Ryan "three-ply" Getzlaf.

I'll accept your apology then.

I have no problem when a player on my team gets wrecked by a clean hit, and that hit was clean. It's hockey. You expect to see players on your team get obliterated sometimes.
