Say A Prayer for Max Pacioretty

[pixburgher66]

Doesnt look dirty to me, just looks like they were battling and neither one of them knew the turnbuckle was sneaking up on them. Could be wrong, just what it looks like to me.

Agreed, but the puck was gone a couple of seconds. I guess I think there's a difference between dirty and just late. Chara was late. So irresponsible is the word that comes to mind.

Its unfortunate, but not illegal, flagrant, or suspendable IMO.

Update: Pacioretty is conscious, and reported to be moving his hands and feet and is talking. He's being taken to the hospital for tests.

Thats good to hear that was scary hopefully he will be ok and have a quick recovery.

Are you joking? He pushed him headfirst into the glass. If that had been Crosby on the other end, I'd bet you would be calling for a 20 gamer.

Actually, I'm one of the few Pens fans that thinks the hit on Crosby wasn't intentional. They only show 1 camera angle usually (the one that doesn't show the whole play) Looked to me that he shouldered him into the boards. Is there a rule that I'm not aware of that says you cant do that near the boards near the buckle? I didn't think so.

In slow motion it looks like he thought through the whole process of trying to kill him, but come on it always looks bad in slow mo. Watch at regular speed it looks like he was just trying to rub him off the puck with his shoulder. I see it done 10 times every game...it was just the wrong spot to try and rub someone off the puck. If it was intentional...he has me fooled.

Chara needs someone to break that big nose!

 

[KillerVee]

OH MY, that looked awful. Don't want to watch it again.

 

[SuperFlyer13]

It does look bad but I agree with a few others, not sure it's malicious. Either way it's good to hear he's up and about! Thanks for the update Pix.

 

[Ho_Brah]

That was pretty ugly. Hope all the best for Max. It really didn't seem like it was intentional, but damn, they should make that area a no hit zone or something.

for those that didn't see it, I'll be uploading the whole incident in 30 minutes or so.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

If you want to see awful you'll want to find the video of the Georgian sledder who died in an Olympic practice. I watched that video only once and can remember every single detail. Ugh.

kinda like the first time I saw 2girls1cup....

The 2 hits are eerily similar like pix said players have to be more responsible and it really wouuldn't hurt for the league to look into better protection from the partition.Hopefully Max recovers well

It's funny how some things stick with a person for forever, isn't it?

Yep, just like the sleepovers at the chuch when I was an altar boy.

Ben Lovejoy hit a Sabre near the partition tonight (can't remember who) and he slid rib-first into it. Looked like it could have been bad, but nothing else was said. Its a hazard, but one that everyone knows about.

i was a choirboy and we had special nights where all the children would get naked and pillow fight with the priest

I remember seeing when Clint Malarchuk got cut on tv I still never want to see it again
