15:35 BOS ZDENO CHARA : MISCONDUCT - 10 MIN
Zdeno Chara tries to fight a guy who medically can not fight. Bruins fans go wild with pleasure.
The thing about that situation is that it's a legitimately scary situation for Alexei Emelin. If Chara lands a punch in the right spot, his career could be over. I'm sure that even though he jumped Emelin from behind, that Chara won't face any form of discipline.
Of course now we'll hear from Bruins fans that if Emelin can't fight, he shouldn't take penalties, because everyone who's ever taken a penalty deserves to get jumped, right? Right?
Anyway. the Habs have 10:35 of no Chara in the third period, they've already wasted several opportunities to tie this game, they need to take advantage.
