There's also the fact that he could reasonably have been making a play for a puck McAvoy had just shot and which was deflected to where Krug was heading - which is where he should've been positioned had Perron not sat on him for a good ten seconds - and Thomas just happened to be there. Had the Bruins not had possession and had the puck not been passed into space, I can definitely see it being called. As it was, I can see why they didn't.

e: You can actually see him set his stick to go after the puck first; the hit comes right after this. All in all, that's not a charge. It looked like one, but he was apparently attempting to play the puck at speed and Thomas was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is reaching pretty hard. Krug was pissed and he wanted to hit someone. Perron headed off, so Thomas was the unlucky recipient of Krug's frustration. From Krug's postgame comments: "After the game, Krug told reporters that he “wasn’t too happy” about getting his helmet ripped off by Blues winger David Perron and was just trying to make a “hockey hit.”"

Was it a charge? He didn't leave his feet to make the hit and he wasn't accelerating through the hit, instead gliding just after he crossed the blue line. But he did pretty much go 150 feet just to make that hit, and gliding for the last 30 feet doesn't quite cancel out skating as hard as he could for the first 120. So it was borderline. But hot drat did it rule. Perron definitely owes Thomas a beer or three (next time they're in Canada, since Thomas isn't 21).

Did anyone post the actual best angle of Krug's hit because none of the others capture the rage that dude has as he skates up ice.

It's 100% a charge and I'll fight you, but that whole sequence is so loving good and funny.

It's fine, Sammy Blais will probably do something similar and hopefully Bruins fans won't be crying about a shoulder-to-shoulder hit like Sharks fans did.

I would welcome video you have of this other angle

It's also incredibly funny that a fan of a team with Brad loving Marchand on it is trying to talk any poo poo about other team's 'dirty' players

Not too bad, catches him with the back of his body. Don't worry though, the Bruins clipped Sammy Blais in the head just last night so we're all even here (how many teams are you a fan of anyway, three with the Seattle team?)
