If I see one more person compare the Chara/Pacioretty hit to the Pacioretty/Letang hit I am going to scream.
Let me adress this. These hits were completely different. They happened in 2 different seasons under 2 different Head Disciplinarians. The hits were also different. The only things that are consistent are, both blindside hits, both involved Pacioretty. One hit resulted in a bloody nose, and the other in a concussion and broken neck. People actually thought Pacioretty had died for a bit, he was not moving.
People are also mad that Pacioretty shouldn't have recived a suspension. Why because Chara didn't get one? Pacioretty does not automatically get a free blindside hit card because he suffered one. If anything, Pacioretty should be one of the main forces advocating the headshot suspensions. He's been there. I could mention Crosby here but I won't.
The hits were different, they were both bad, both deserved suspensions. Pacioretty was the one that received it.
