The following site is a great article by Yahoo! Sports' Puck Daddy:

Here is a video of the pest himself:



The Chara-Pacioretty hit..




Above is the video of the hit that happened in March of 2011. It is amazing how that hit doesn't get a suspension but this one does:





Colin Campbell,  former Senior Vice President and current Director of Hockey Operations for the National Hockey League, and Boston Bruin's forward Gregory Campbell's dad, resigned on June 1st, 2011. Now, I know this Rome hit is after Campbell resigned, but he finally made a smart move by resigning. It is quite ironic how any hit where a Bruin is a victim gets suspended, but if it is the other way around, no suspensions occur.

Brad Marchand: The definition of the word "Unclassy"



That is the true definition of the word, "unclassy" (thank you dictionary.com). This story I am about to tell you is something Brad Marchand would do:

There was a post on Hockeyinsideout.com a little while ago (if the person who posted that wants me to delete it, please let me know). There was this step-father and his step-son who were going to a signing of Brad Marchand. This was in the latter months of 2010, so only a month or two into his rookie season. Now, Marchand was born in Montreal. The step-son was wearing a Montreal Canadiens hat, because this little 6-year-old was a Habs fan. Anyways, when the two step up to where Marchand is signing memorbilia, Brad tells the little kid to take off his hat otherwise he will not sign an autograph. He tells this to a 6-year-old who is just learning hockey!
