Hockey Hits

The question to Max Pacioretty should be, why is this hit disgusting...


...while this hit is okay?


Likewise to the people of Montreal: Why is the first worthy of calls to 911 and criminal prosecution when the second hit is not?

To the police in Montreal I have a statement. There is a huge difference between the first hit and this hit...


...or this hit.


Disclaimer: I said already that Chara should have been suspended for his actions. I would not have been against five games for a first time offender. McSorley and Bertuzzi deserved what they got. Their actions had absolutely nothing to do with two guys playing a game. The word is that Pacioretty is going to be all right. I certainly hope so. However, don't get all disgusted at the league's actions when you were the hitee when you have been guilty of hits that were just as violent, cheap, and suspension worthy. The police in Montreal are acting like hypocrites. The Montreal fans who felt the need to call 911 when Chara wasn't suspended are acting like the worst kinds of fanboy hypocrites. Pacioretty is acting like a hypocrite.

Stop being friggin hypocrites.
