Mike Murphy, the league's senior vice-president of hockey operations, held a telephone conference with Chara on Wednesday and ruled that "this was a hockey play that resulted in an injury because of the player colliding with the stanchion and then the ice surface."chara hit on pacioretty video
"After a thorough review of the video I can find no basis to impose supplemental discipline. This hit resulted from a play that evolved and then happened very quickly -- with both players skating in the same direction and with Chara attempting to angle his opponent into the boards. I could not find any evidence to suggest that, beyond this being a correct call for interference, that Chara targeted the head of his opponent, left his feet or delivered the check in any other manner that could be deemed to be dangerous," a statement issued by Murphy said.chara hit on pacioretty video
