Yeahhh SCF > Semi Finals...
Kinda indicating that Martin St Louis did more than win one cup.
My condolences that your empty fishbowl of a brain can't read between the lines.
Chara has 95 playoff games in 8 seasons with the Bruins.
Not counting his time with the Senators.
MSL has 63 playoff games in 5 seasons with the Bolts.
Not counting his two lengthy runs with the Rangers.
And this is just taking games played into account. Obviously the Bruins have been more consistently in the playoffs than the Bolts have been, it's pretty clear when you look at the numbers. But I'm just trying to illustrate it's not as far as you're making it out to be...
Considering Bruins fans call Chara the "best UFA signing of all time", that's closer than I'm sure even you guys want it to be. Considering how MSL ran himself out of town and whatnot.
There's also the fact that Chara had four playoff runs with the Senators before the Bruins signed him. You kinda knew what you were getting. The Bolts on the other hand, put a flyer on MSL, and he turned out into something none of us could have imagined. I think that little tidbit should be in play too...
