Paquette punches Chara, Chara proceeds to one punch him.

Chara got 6 total (boarding + roughing double minor), Paquette got 2 for roughing.

You ****ing serious. Love NHL refs

 

[Colt.45Orr]

the time he jumped emelin after his hit on seguin and a bunch of other times where he just starts unloading on people for small hits...

Emelin broke his stick on Seguin's ribs with a cheap crosscheck and then *****ed out when Chara came to call him on it.

Spin it how you want, but the video evidence is there and Emelin had it coming.

hahahaha

Nobody started anything until Krejci got his stick up in Browns mouth, they were both just trying to be physical in front of the net when the puck was in TBs zone.

Holy crap.

Boston can't have it both ways. Pacquette got what he was asking for messing with Chara. But Brown was all in the wrong when he got pissed when he got cross checked in the face?

Watch the video again. Krejci skated around the net as the play started moving to the other end. For whatever reason Brown turned around and crosschecked him. Krejci obviously continued it, but Brown clearly played a role in starting that...

Krejci was being targeted by TB after the weak "boarding" penalty given to Chara.

 

[canadiansbronco]

Oh I see.... so he doesn't 'snap every time someone hits him'.... or harfly ever really.

So basicly what you just don't described is s team leader, captain a bug physical guy standing up for his teammates.

So you just described a normal day in the NHL.

No what I am saying is he looses his cool easily and sometimes really goes overboard with blind punching everything in his way

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Man, Chara just exploded outta nowhere. Paquette bumps him, Chara crosschecks, Paquette crosschecks back, and Chara drops him. Dude has some serious temper issues, going out of his way to keep crosschecking him later on lol.

Also, the other thing I noted watching the NESN feed was Jack Edwards' awful commentary. Do other announcers get straight up giddy and gleeful about other teams players being injured? Edwards came across as complete scum.

I know I was straight up giddy and gleeful when Chara dropped that punk as was just about every other Bruins fan... including Edwards. Your bias is showing but if it angers you so easily maybe you should avoid the NESN feed?

I've watched it numerous times, Brown was guarding the front of the net. Krejci was coming so Brown engaged like you do when someone comes in front. Yeah the puck got bobbled out of the zone, but if you pay attention closely the puck was still in the zone whe Brown turned his head to get his man. Just a normal play.

Krejci probably got offended because he saw the puck go out of the zone and Brown wasn't aware since his back was turned. Nobody was going after anybody.

 

[TheSchmidt]

When?

The only other time I recall anything is when when he tried to check Pacquette and got the worst end of it.

I guess it's tough for fans to take the homer glasses off once in awhile.

So if that is the case, it is clear Brown contributed to starting this exchange, thus my point stands.

There's a lot of homerism going both ways. Everybody's acting like their own guys are 100% innocent and the other team is made up of Satans (Not of the Miroslav variety, which were more/less harmless). The truth is somewhere in the middle. Hockey players are not angels.

Such is HF

Neither of them did anything wrong IMO, I just think what Paquette did was dumb (particularly on the 2nd one)

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Ah the smell of hating Chara and the Bruins is great. Hopefully it continues.

Completely agree with this. Paquettes an idiot.

This is a non-story. HF has gotten soft.

I agree that neither of them did anything wrong, although I'll say in the second incident when you watch the long shot, you can see Chara cross-checking Paquette for a solid 20-30 seconds at several different spots on the ice. So I don't mind Paquette taking a shot at him there either, nor do I mind Chara using at as invitation to fight.

I feel like 10 years ago this wouldn't have even been significant. I don't really understand why we're pretending it's significant now.

10 years ago the majority of the stuff brought up around here would be insignificant

 

[Mikeaveli]

Also, I'm pretty sure Paquette was doing his job perfectly. He got Chara to sit in the box, chase him around and even got Marchand worked up enough to basically threaten him in a post-game interview. A job done well, IMO. You know, aside from losing those teeth.

I'm not sure if he intentionally did that, but it wouldn't be a bad role if he wanted to fill it.

You do realize that there are public records of what actually happened and what was actually said to basically disprove your theory/statements above as totally wrong.

Right, and i see what you are saying, and i also see that it is 100% incorrect.

Chara 100% was trying to goad him into a momentum building 'fight' or excuse to hammer him and show the fans that the team is finally back. As soon as they went into the corner I knew it and loved it. Paquette did nothing "wrong" in that instance, just a very dumb move to play right into Chara's hands. Kudos to the officials for finally allowing them to get into some rough stuff that final 30 seconds instead of immediately blowing play dead as the New NHL would prefer it.

Even a year or two ago... just as the NHL goes soft, many fans of the softer teams are buying right into it and screaming the loudest to convince the NHL they have gotten us going in the right direction.

yaaa, sorry, dont think so.

30 seconds or less in a one goal game, i'm gonna say i highly doubt that that was what he was doing......

i'm also going to go out on a limb and guess that chara doesnt even know who paquette is, and could probably care less...
