GDT: Leafs @ Habs -- pre-season game 4 -- 7PM

Parros definately set an interesting precedent for vigilante justice.

I am sure he defended it as a hockey play somehow

Why is everybody talking about Xhekaj not getting suspended while conveniently ignoring the fact Pare stuck his leg out and destroyed Montreal's newly acquired star player's knee.

That was no accident. It wasn't a deliberate intent to injure. But it was a careless play that resulted in bodily harm to another player.

No different than checking someone from behind into the boards.

A dangeous play that should require supplemental disciplining. The fact Pare isn't good enough to ever serve that suspension is besides the point. The fact remains he stuck his knee out and into Laine's.

Then ran away when it came time to answer the bell.

Xhekaj gave Pare the opportunity to stand up for his actions and he did not. It was a classic case of a hit and run by someone too afraid of the punishment he knew was deserved and coming. If the situations were reversed I have no doubt there would be a contingent of fans calling for Pare's head on a stake saying he did it on purpose.

For proof you can read through the JT injury thread and see for yourself how many people were happy Foligno dummied Perry.

People are talking about Xhekaj not getting suspended because he didn't get suspended.

People are not talking about Pare sticking his leg out and destroyed Montreal's newly acquired star player's knee because he didn't, and Laine isn't a star player.
