Police investigating brutal hit by Boston Bruins player Zdeno Chara - NHL News | FOX Sports on MSN

Unbelievable. The people in Montreal need to find something to occupy their time besides Les Habitants. I appreciate die hard fans, but they are out of control up their. Did anyone see Pat Hickey from the Montreal Gazette on NESN last night. He was acting like Chara should never play hockey again because of the hit. The guy writes for a newspaper, but you'd think he was the world #1 Canadian fan. What a homer.

I HATE THE MONTREAL CANADIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLOPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRY BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think the hit was that big of a deal, certainly not intentional.
The hit on Savard was intentional.

Exactly!!! Montreal police are investigating come on give me a break. All I can think of is the woman in the crowd in the movie slap shot yelling out " French P*$$*"

Here is Don Cherry's take on the hit:

On a side note: Matt Cooke (same guy that put Savard out) intentionally went to the head of Ryan McDonagh during Sunday’s Rangers Pens game. New Yorkers didn't call for Cooke to be arrested and they didn't threat to picket in front of Madison Square Garden at the Rangers’ next home game. Showes you what a pack of used tampons those Montreal fans are...........

Gotta love Cherry says it like it is.

He is a sharp dresser!:)

These hits are more a function of the design of the facility then the intent of one player to injure (and the Habs have the WORST record for injuries related to their facility)

As the video shows these impact hits have been around for a while. I would just like to see the rinks modernized to fit today's game. After all they certainly make enough money off the fans to improve the rinks.
