Kadri got an entire fucking playoff series for what Chara got $5000 during the regular season. I’m over this shit.

I mean, that certainly looked worthy of at least a one game suspension to me rather than just a paltry fine. $5000 is a lunch bill for Chara.

Imagine if Chara's dirty play had been called the way everyone else's has (which is still not enough but) during his career. He's be on suspension #10 and would be among the career leader in PIMs.

This will stick with me forever:

If that sets the standard...
I mean, can you imagine the line-up of players (and fans, for that matter) for "$5,000 to crosscheck marchand in the face"
what an amazing fundraising opportunity.

Well, if Gallagher hadn't embellished...

hell, I can understand anyone wanting to throat punch Gallagher, but he could've Mike Ribeiro'd that shit I wouldn't get how Chara got away with it!


oh wait, Boston, Jacobs..nevermind, I get it now.

Boston, Jacobs..nevermind, I get it now.

This pretty well sums it up for me

I have been told on these boards that Boston never does anything dirty and other teams always take cheap shots at Bruins. It was on the interwebz so it must be true. I am also a French model.

Bonjour!

This is angering. Considering the Leafs were up 3-2 at one point last spring against the eventual eastern conference champs I feel like this is incredibly fucked up.

Again, 5 PLAYOFF GAMES:


$5000:


There’s literally no fucking way these two things are so different that one is worth barely a fine and the other is worth someone missing the equivalent of ten regular season games.

I'm curious...are you arguing that Chara got off too easy, Kadri got too much, or both?

I would say both. For what Kadri did giving him five playoff games was excessive. Even though I would say that Kadri's infraction was worse then Chara's, Kadri did follow through all the way to the ice, you can not treat Chara as a 1st time offender.

And we haven't even factored in physics yet. This makes Chara's actions even more egregious.

Chara - 250 pounds
Kadri - 180 (and thats generous)

Since Force = Mass x Acceleration

Chara's almost 50% greater mass makes the force of his crosscheck almost 50% more devastating

Ah Hell nobody told me there would be Einstein level math here.

Oh wow the Florida Panthers are on national TV tonight and its not the playoffs or part of Ovie's chase? Someone involved in programming is getting fired tonight.

Yes.
