Tyler Seguin takes a hit from Alexei Emelin, Zdeno Chara takes revenge that costs 17 minutes 03.03.13 at 9:30 pm ET

Montreal’s Alexei Emelin hit Tyler Seguin with a check in the neutral zone late in the second period.

Bruins captain Zdeno Chara was on the ice and saw Seguin go down in a heap, holding his left side. Later in the same shift, Chara blew up Emelin with a check, that resulted in a fight between the two.

Chara was tagged with two minutes for instigating, five for fighting and 10 minutes for misconduct. In other words, the cost of sticking up for Seguin, who returned to the bench just moments later, was 17 minutes of ice time.

    How can the Bruins expect the ref (#36) to see that call? He is at least 30 ft away with a clear view. Frankly, the way calls have been made this year, I’m surprised he didn’t give Seguin a penalty for breaking Emelin’s stick with his ribs.

    Hey Ref (#36) what the H E double hockey sticks are you doing out there? That was a blatant cross check! I love how your boys (the linesmen) were so quick to intercede when Z was given that guy some of his own medicine, too bad you were slow on the call. You guys must go to the same acting school as Max Pacioretty and P.K. Subban.
