If you really want to play the blame game, why is there a solid post in the middle of a full contact playing area? Why do the nets break away but there's a solid stanchion in an area where hits occur all of the time?
The only people I see making a deal of this are Hab's fans and people who do not like how rough hockey is.
Edit: So you're saying an interference call would have been in order?

I think the fact that he got hurt so badly forced the refs to call something. A few other guys have been hit in the same area so I think the arenas need to come up with something better.
I think the other thing is Chara is not known as a dirty player, had this been a pest or enforcer type player I think there would have been suspensions.
