Things are going to start getting pretty interesting...

Quote:
MONTREAL - Montreal police have launched an official investigation into Tuesday night's violent hit on Habs forward Max Pacioretty.

In a release issued early Thursday, Quebec's Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DCPP) confirmed it had advised the ministry of Public Security that it was recommending an investigation.

It didn't take long for officials to respond. Montreal police issued a brief statement a few hours later confiming they had been asked by the ministry to begin looking into the hit and its aftermath.

The investigation will begin immediately, said Montreal police Constable Olivier Lapointe. Police made no further comment.

The check by Boston Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara, witnessed by thousands of fans in the Bell Centre and thousands more on television, knocked the 22-year-old Pacioretty unconscious, fractured his fourth cervical vertebra and resulted in a severe concussion. He remained in hospital Thursday morning.

The DCPP and the police department had both been reluctant to comment on the incident following the National Hockey League's decision not to suspend Chara late Wednesday.

There is precedent for criminal charges being laid in connection with traumatic injuries sustained on the ice in Quebec. Last October, former Quebec Major Junior Hockey League forward Patrice Cormier pleaded guilty to a charge of assault causing bodily harm and received an unconditional discharge after delivering a vicious hit to the head of Quebec Remparts defenceman Mikael Tam. Tam suffered brain trauma and damage to his teeth.

It was the same sentence handed down to son of former Montreal Canadiens goaltender Patrick Roy, Jonathan Roy, who pleaded guilty to an assault charge in 2009 after pounding rival goalie Bobby Nadeau during a hockey brawl in March 2008.

I only hate Chara cause he's not on our team. I watched his documentary when he climbed K2 or whatever and he's a really down to earth nice dude. This was a fluke. A crazy, in the moment kind of hard check that went way wrong. Intent to injure just isn't there.

I hate him because for SOME reason, the fact that he's huge seems to excuse his many crosschecks, hookings, grabbings. I guess absurdly large people just cant help where their arms and sticks are, or what they're doing? Is he allowed to just smash into whomever he wants while driving?

And he just sort of plays like a prick. At least he's got that look on his face which pricks always seem to have on.

I suppose things might change if he were on our team, but I like to think i'd still hold a small bit of hatred for him, deep in my heart, even if he wore the blue and gold.

Just cuz he's nice off the ice doesn't give him a pass to be the piece of shit he is on the ice.

I'm just glad that the NHL is getting as much negative attention about this as possible, maybe some good will come out of it.

I agree with that of course, I just see it as a fast paced hit along the boards. We dissagree on intent I guess but personally I see it as an accident.

A small suspension should have been in order, just because of the outcome of the situation. It makes the sport look bad when a player's face is smashed into a pole and his vertebrae fractures, with no penalty to Chara.

It's gonna take loooong arms to fully probe Chara. Although a cavity search is a little extreme in this case.
