If you follow NHL Hockey, you’ve heard of the Zedno Chara/Max Pacioretty incident by now. Habs player Max Pacioretty was driven violently into a stanchion by Boston Bruins giant Zdeno Chara.  Chara got a five-minute major penalty for interference and a game misconduct on the play, but was not given a suspension afterward by the NHL. Pacioretty is now out of order as he suffered a severe concussion and a broken vertebrae.

Pic I took as they got the stretcher for Pacioretty, our prayers are with ya man.

Well I was at that game at the Bell Centre in Montreal (it got ugly) and it was a rough ordeal. Now I was asked yesterday (along with other panelists) to talk about the incident on the Roy Green radio show; which airs nation wide across Canada; click here to hear my thoughts. Was kind of refreshing to be asked my opinion on something other than movies 🙂 GO HABS!

What will it take for the NHL to protect their players from checks like this? A death on the ice?
