Just Checking, Where’s Chara?

from Mike Harrington Of Sabres Edge at the Buffalo News,
The Montreal Canadiens are chafed that Sabres center Paul Gaustad allegedly said, “Where’s Chara?” in the direction of Max Pacioretty following Patrick Kaleta’s empty-net goal late in the third period of Tuesday’s 3-1 Buffalo victory. The quip, of course, is in reference to the ghoulish hit Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara put on Pacioretty last season that resulted in a broken neck.
“He’s got a big mouth and he likes to run it,” Habs goalie Carey Price said of Gaustad. “What can you do? Can’t worry about what he’s got to say. He doesn’t do much out there.”

I don’t see what the big deal is. This is just like asking another player “How’s your wife and my kids.” This stuff happens in every single game, even in the rec league I play in. A lot of people need thicker skin.

FFS, it’s trash talking and some egos went all boo boo. Shut up and play.

I’m just hoping that the next time the Habs play the Bruins, Chara looks over at their bench and chirps “Where’s Gaustad?”

And our suspicions about Gaustad’s creativity are confirmed.
Pacioretty makes Pat Kane look mature.

That’s funny, I was on the understanding that Gaustad was a giant PITA, but was quiet.
Sounds more like the shame of allowing Kaleta to score a goal of any type.
