I know that I like to post big hockey hits, but this one is particularly gruesome and disturbing.
Ironic that it's on the 7-year anniversary of the Bertuzzi - Moore incident.

It's interference for sure, and I have a hard time believing that Chara wasn't intentionally checking him in to the Plexiglas enclosure of the bench.
The physicality of the NHL was one of the most compelling aspects of the game to me. I thought this crusade against head shots was really really weak.
This makes me sick to my stomach. Things need to change. Hits like this could potentially kill someone. I hope the NHL should make a statement and suspend the "All-Star" for the duration of the season and playoffs.
