Canadiens Rally Around Slafkovský After Acciari's Controversial Hit 

Hey there! Wow, what a heated situation with the Canadiens and that hit on Slafkovský! I have to say, the intensity of hockey is what makes it so thrilling, but incidents like this really raise questions about player safety. Acciari's hit definitely seemed reckless, especially with the elbow to the head. It’s concerning to see a young talent like Slafkovský get hurt like that.

I completely agree with the Canadiens' response to protect their teammate. Hockey is all about loyalty and camaraderie, and standing up for each other is crucial. It sends a strong message that they’re a tight-knit group and will defend their own. I think it’s essential for team chemistry, especially for a rookie who’s just starting to make his mark in the league.

As for Acciari, I think the coaching staff should have pulled him after that hit. Keeping him on the ice just escalated the situation and put everyone at risk for more penalties or injuries. The league really needs to take a hard look at how they handle these kinds of hits to ensure player safety is prioritized.

What do you think? Do you believe the league will take action against Acciari? And how do you see this affecting the Canadiens moving forward?
