Typical Quebec

I don't talk much about the NHL for a number of reasons. Reason one being because I do not watch on a consistent basis nor do I know enough about the sport to give an expert analysis. But, when I hear something ridiculous enough for me to deliver my minimal insight, you know it has to be something bad. If you haven't seen the hit from Zdeno Chara on Max Pacioretty, it's pretty vicious, but no reason to send the police after Chara for Wayne Gretzky's sake.

Yeah you heard me right, the police. The Montreal Police Department have decided to probe the case, which makes a ton of sense. This is the same providence who wanted to break away from Canada and be an independent nation. This is the same city who gave up on baseball with the best mascot, next to Bernie Brewer and gave up on that team. Not to mention they speak more French that anything else. Therefore, I just figure they are being pansies about the whole situation anyways.

I understand this is a huge rivalry and these two players have a history with each other, yet I do not believe Chara meant to do this whatsoever. He is not a dirty player like a Scott Stevens or Darcy Tucker. Chara is just a guy who hits rocket shots like his name is Fulton Reed. Montreal is trying to keep themselves relevant in America and it's not working. On top of that, Air Canada is threatening to pull their sponsorship of the NHL. C'mon son, who flies Air Canada to keep it in business? Go take the money to another sport that's popular in the Maple Leaf, oh wait... there isn't one.

I hope the NHL is doing their best to tell Montreal to relax right now because they are making the whole sport look stupid. Yes, they should look into the head injuries that keep happening, and I bet there will be things changed to prevent things of that nature. No need to get the police involved.
