Yesterday, someone named Sportsfan1981 made a comment on my post "Police open Investigation Against Chara" and he says that "I can’t believe Chara’s hit is under investigation by Montreal police! It happened at a strange spot on the rink, and that’s why Pacioretty was badly injured. Do the police get involved whenever two players fight on the ice? No, so why should this situation be treated any differently?" He is right in a sense. So I do agree that the Police should not get involved but I do think that Chara should have got suspended 2-3 games to send a message to the NHL saying that hits like this aren't acceptable.
But I think Sportsfan is wrong in a sense saying that it was because of the spot on the ice. I say that because, the puck was no where in sight (it was down in the Bruins zone) and Chara moved his arm at the last second to try to flip Pacioretty into the bench but instead Pacioretty's face hit the turn buckle. So he is right in saying that the police shouldn't get involved but he's wrong in saying it was because of the area where he got hit. It should have been a suspension.
