Not sure if they showed it on the OLN feed, but HNIC jumped right in with a clip of their previous fight. Yes, Vincent Lecavlier has actually fought Chara multiple times in his career. Who knew?
Anyways, Chara certainly could have drilled him when he was down. The Ottawa cheerleaders, er, media, are making this out to be an act of sportsmanship worthy of the Lady Byng. I'm not sure when deciding not to hit a guy when he's down suddenly became especially praiseworthy, but considering Chara was fined for doing it once already this year I guess we should be happy.
The other funny note was that Chara, who injured his right hand fighting Cairns earlier this year, actually fought left-handed. Apparently he's not only a Norris candidate, he's become the Man in Black from the Princess Bride too.
By the way, Chris Dingman is an idiot.
