Zdeno Chara hit Miro Satan ... your opinion?

[Mirinho]

it's almost one month old .. but Satan still isn't playing, he's injured ... he said Chara wanted to hurt him with this hit ... they were big friends before this incident, hard to say if they will be after this - Satan isn't answering on Chara's call etc. ... and it still lasts



first hit - time 10th sec

second hit - time 55th sec

what do you say was it clear? is Satan acting like baby? or was it dirty by Chara? your opinions?

Slovakian fans were mad on saturday when Chara was on the puck
both this players are from Slovakia



time 15th sec, time 25th sec etc.

Clean hit, according to KHL.

Satan is NOT at injured list. Weird if is injured.

[BruinsNeedaRussian]

Don't see anything wrong with it...Surprised that injured him.

[Fel 96]

All I'm gonna say is it's so weird to see Chara in this jersey.

[Everlasting]

Shoulder to head. There isn't much to discuss here. Consider the injury Chara should have a suspension.

[RJ8812]

there's nothing wrong with either hit

[Teamwork]

Satan needs to keep his head up. He basically skated into Chara, as Chara barely moved..

[Trillmike]

The second one looked worse.

I don't see anything wrong with the hit. Only reason he hit Satan in the head is because Satan was slightly crouched and Chara was upright and is a lot taller than Satan.

Two good hits. No elbows or anything.
Yes the second one hits Satans head but that is not Charas fault, he hits ALL of Satan.
Satan should have his head up, he has played in the NHL he knows what he has to do to protect himself.

this , exactly what I thought

[vorky]

Mirinho
So tell me why he is not at injury list? Any reason? Weird.

I believe his words, but decision of Slovan is weird

[Fel 96]

I think it's hits like the second one where the term "size matters" fully applies.

[ZZamboni]

Both clean hits ...

The footage before the second hit was awesome. Andrej Sekera trying to beat a too many men call, dives into the oppositions bench

[dr robbie]

they look pretty clean to me, but I could totally see Satan getting rattled there.

True, I hate headshots as much as the next guy, but there was nothing Chara could have done.

[MatthewT]

Satan should know better to have his head up,

[Mr Forever]

Okay why did that guy jump in the bench in the first video?

[Luck 6]

Clean hit.

Jk :p looked clean to me.

[HavlatMach9]

With his head down, Chara could have annihilated him in both cases, instead he just calmly let Satan run into him, to knock him off the puck.

[questhockey]

Both times Satan had puck, Chara made nice clean hit. Chara is just taller, and Satan was crouch with head down. You suspend for this and hockey as we know it is now figure skating.

[JoeLH]

He finished his first hit, but not even in a close to violent fashion.
The second one was even more harmless. He basically stopped before Satan who, like the first time, didn't had his head up. I have my thoughts about Chara after the Pacioretty incident, but those two hits were 100 per cent clean IMO.

I agree, Chara shouldn't be punished because he's big.
