Police Conduct Criminal Investigation On Chara’s Brutal Hit [VIDEO]
Even if you're not a big hockey fan, the video is painful to watch.
On Tuesday night's game, Montreal Canadiens' player Max Pacioretty was escorted off the ice on a stretcher and sent to the hospital with a severe concussion and broken vertebrae due to the Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara's dirty check with 20 seconds left in the second period.
The National Hockey League announced on Wednesday that Chara, who received a five minute major penalty and a game misconduct for his hit that night, wouldn't get penalized further, which has caused quite an uproar from sponsors, fans and other NHL teams.
