After Patrick Kaleta scored into an empty net to wrap up a 3-1 victory for the Sabres, Buffalo forward Paul Gaustad reportedly taunted Max Pacioretty by saying, "Wheres Chara?", referring to the Canadiens forward being hit into a stanchion by Boston Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara last season which resulted in a fractured vertebrae. When the Canadiens bench heard the remark, a Canadiens player allegedly responded, "Where were you when Lucic hit Miller?", reminding Gaustad of his response to Bruins forward Milan Lucic when he bowled over Sabres goalie Ryan Miller earlier this season. Gaustad, who had a goal and two assists in Tuesdays win, was on the ice when Lucic hit Miller, causing the Sabres goalie to miss eight games with a concussion. But the Sabres leader in penalty minutes did not challenge Lucic in defence of his goaltender, something he regretted later. "Im embarrassed that we didnt respond the way we should have," said Gaustad after the game against the Bruins in November.dddddddddddd "It falls on myself. I look at myself first, and I wasnt good enough." Guastad challenged Lucic to a fight early in the rematch. With the Sabres and Canadiens meeting again on February 17 in Buffalo, Gaustad and Pacioretty may add another chapter to the feud. "He said something that upset me along the exact same lines, so if hes got a problem with it, he can handle it with me next game," said Gaustad after the game. "Hes got a big mouth and he likes to run it," said Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. But Gaustad felt the incident was much ado about nothing. "I think the media tries to make it more than what it is, to be honest," said Gaustad to reporters. "You guys are trying to build it up to a rivalry. It was a hard-fought game. I thought they played hard, I thought we played hard and I think it was a fun game to play. Next time we play them, its going to be a fun game."
