Tyler Myers to have a hearing - hit on Zubrus

Chara is a great player who I am sure we all (or mostly) wish we had on the team. That said, he is borderline dirty with respect to his aggressive style and seems to be immune from penalties.

 

Well, he's had over 100 PIM 3 times in his career, plus 95 PIM once, plus 70 PIM in 48 games last year.

If the NHL in the the mid 2000's was anything like it is today I'm pretty sure Campbell would have been banned from the league for that hit on Umberger.

 

It would be argued forever about whether the principal point of contact was the head. Everything else about that hit was squeaky clean.

 

That said, if that hit is suspendable, Scott Stevens doesn't have a career.

Agreed. That and the fact that he leaned in and made sure his body was in a good position to lay a heavy hit. His weight was completely forward.
