Oh Yes, Bruins/Canadiens Meet Again Tomorrow

from Jame Murphy of ESPN Boston,

Boston Bruins forward Mark Recchi told a Boston radio station Wednesday that he thought the Montreal Canadiens “embellished” the concussion suffered by Max Pacioretty in an effort to try to get Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara suspended for his hit on the Habs forward.

The NHL did not punish Chara for his March 8 hit on Pacioretty, which left the Canadiens forward hospitalized with what the team called a cracked vertebra in his neck and a severe concussion. That decision caused an uproar in Montreal, where police launched a criminal probe into Chara’s hit.

“He’s OK and he’s getting better,” Recchi told Boston sports radio station 98.5 The Sports Hub of the reports he’s heard on Pacioretty’s condition. “I mean we know he was at a movie, I mean he was twittering at a movie five days later ... and you know obviously if you have a bad concussion like this, you’re not going to be at a movie. So we’re glad in that sense that he’s getting better, but it was a hockey play and the injury happened.”
