anyone have this clip , i have seen it briefly but would like to see it closely because the other night on sportsnet they were talking about how ottawa may have a tough team now , they showed mcgratton 1 punch domi and the chara fight with ivan while saying how chara demolished ivan , they showed 1 punch that missed . can someone show me this clip or offer any opinion as to the outcome of this tilt
Chara lands a few, his long reach is pretty lethal. At the end though, when the fight was over and Chara had one, he went back and threw a cheap shot, and there you can see that Ivanans lost some teeth. That late punch should have led to at least a few games of suspension, you just don't do that. I'm not sure which link is better, but I believe they both work
i watched those clips and believe chars only landed 2 punches , the sucker punch and the 1 when hes falling down , the first punch they showed in the clip in my original post and it clearly missed as they showed it up close .
This is where the NHL proved how biased they can be towards "star" players. if the roles had been reversed and Ivananas had thrown that punch and Chara was out six weeks you can bet good old Ratis would be suspended for quite awhile, not the little, "Don't do that, Okay Zdeno?" that the league gave Chara.
Sidenote Chara's a bit of a wuss, have you ever seen him hit or fight anyone his size or bigger then him?
