How is the behaviour of a handful of fans relevant?
A few Montrealers called 911 and demanded a police investigation - so what? They're no more fanatical than the few Boston fans who seriously thought Pacioretty was 'faking it' or embellishing his injury. Both extremes are ridiculous and have nothing to do with the game, the non-call, or the city's fan base in general.
Chara got away with a bad hit, which describes many head shots during the Year of The Concussion. The stunning lack of response to his hit and so many more bad hits was exactly why the rules were changed.
But the season's done. That exact same hit will now be punishable. Move on.
