I think people are over-reacting.

If you accept the Bruin argument that Chara didn't realize where he was and made what would be a normal hockey play, but at a horrible point on the ice... you could easily see how the Gomez play is similar. It was an innocent play that nearly went sideways because of where they were.

Fair enough.

Mind you, I don't believe Chara didn't know where he was on the ice, but I would assume if anyone on the planet thinks it was an accident, it's Claude Julien. Just because Pacioretty got hurt by Chara, doesn't mean that play wasn't ugly.
