Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara got speared between the legs by Red Wings forward Steve Ott during Saturday’s game. An obviously incensed Chara immediately went after Ott for his cheap shot. As usual, the refs were too busy doing other things to pay attention to a player whose infractions rival Matt Cooke in their absurd ruthlessness.
Yup, that’s a dirty cup check alright. It only took Ott 12 seconds to be his usual cheap-shotting self. In the end, both Ott and Chara received matching penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct.
