Chara tries to fight Getzlaf (Mod warning page bazillion)

[Sojourn]

Vision problems, I see. Replace homer glasses with regular glasses, problem fixed.

Oh yes, coming from such an objective source.

How many neutral fans do you see calling this a bad hit? Let me guess, that's anti-Bruin bias, right? It has nothing to do with the fact that the hit was fine, and you just aren't an objective observer.

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

Enraged Chara is more of a David Koci fight than the Laraque wrestling match variety. Chara saw red. Fans try to underestimate Chara.

Getzlaf is definitely a tough player and good captain but he would have looked similar to Koci last night.

the irony in this comment isn't lost on me

I wonder what Chara was yelling towards/in the box

Chara would run away from Laraque

He hasn't, and he wouldn't. They've fought.

Forcibly moving the official is abuse of official, and it carries a three game suspension. There is a huge difference between taking a minor penalty, and putting yourself in position to be suspended for stupidity. I would think that would be obvious to you.

I guess Chara deserves three for the flagrant abuse. One for the punch or two before linesmen stepped in, and two for not stopping immediately.

I know it must be hard to see Getzlaf bullied like that — I feel for you.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't like Getzlaf's chances in that fight. Chara has reach, probably still strength, and he actually has the training to land good hits.

When I say Getzlaf holds his own, I mean he makes a fight of it. I just think it's a fight he'd lose.

Short memory?

Players like McCabe, Koci, Andersen, Maroon, Artuyhkin (sp?), etc are all as big and/or tougher than Getzlaf and none really "held their own" against Chara.

It's soooo difficult. I'm just grateful I can find the courage to carry on.

And seeing the Ducks get the 2 points is also nice.

The "three for flagrant abuse" is just nonsense. You really don't know what you're talking about.

 

[BruinLVGA]

For those talking about Getzlaf "toughness", do note that in this limited scrum he is always moving AWAY from Chara. Chara is trying to get at Getzlaf - he of the cowardly slash from behind - and Getzlaf is trying to get the hell out of dodge.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

People saying Getzlaf was ready to fight must not see the fact that he kept his gloves on the entire time where as Chara dropped them instantly. There's being a homer, and then there's being flat out wrong.

Getzlaf gave Chara a whack, then went high with a crosscheck. I like Getzlaf, but he didn't want anything to do with Chara in that situation.

More garbage. It never got to that point before the linesman stepped in. A decent human being wouldn't stoop to cheap shots there, but Chara being a half trained gorilla couldn't help from acting hard behind the linesman.

Getz acts normal and somehow is the jerk even though it's his dumbass opponent landing shots over the bouncer.

the time they fought and chara hugged on for dear life

I don' think you'll find too many Anh fans complaining about what Chara did. No need to go there

Well I guess your opinion on this means pretty much nothing either then.

Of course you present your opinions as fact, so you’ve got that going for you I guess.

When you hack a guy in the leg after a questionable hit that saw one of his players leave the ice and then go upstairs with a crosscheck, expect a punch to the grill. Especially with a guy like Chara. Getzlaf isn't innocent here.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Do you know what irony is?

Yeah: thinking that Getzlaf is a tough guy when he was trying to move away from Chara throughout all this. A++++ irony tight there.

At worst, I think Chara should have gotten an extra 2, which means both players get 4 minutes.

That's pretty much it. He got a free shot in, and Getzlaf got a free slash in, but Getzlaf was punished for it. I mean, it happens. I'm not going to cry about it.

...Maroon? Artyukhin? The hell league do you watch?

Strawman... I am talking about Chara and Getzlaf... And you know that.

We dont care, i think we are okay with what getzlaf did and were okay eith charas reaction. Its hockey, on to the next game.

You should look up the definition of irony. Hint: Alanis Morissette needs a dictionary.

I actually don't, because you didn't specify it. You called it a late hit.

You are right. I’m not having a go at Anaheim fans — just the very notable one in this thread.

I’ve got no problem with Ducks fans.

still waiting for the bruins fans to post the version of the incident they're watching

because it's clearly not the same one the rest of us are watching
