Kind of curious what Chara has in mind after hockey. Seems like a guy you'd want to have in your front office or on your staff in some capacity.

He's going to be in charge of selling houses to all the new Bruins.

While teaching each of them at least three different languages. :sarcasm:

A Chara haiku, by Bruinaura:

Chara is big guy
I don't know how he does this
I feel quite wimpy

I'll be here all season.

He posted the other night on Instagram him working out on the ice at 11:45 at night. I really don’t think he’s human.

If anyone remembers what Chris Chelios put himself through to keep playing defense in his 40'st you realize the torture Chara goes through.
Its clearly not for everyone.
I think it will be a long time, if ever, before the league sees another guy like Chara.

He put the franchise on his back when we got him!

I remember he layed down in front of a Souray slapper in preseason that year.

10 might be stretching it, but I could see 5. I think most of us probably could.
10 is a little hyperbole, but 5+ is definitely possible. I think when people doubt him playing that long they just see him as a top pairing defenseman. Reduce his role and minutes and he’d be a great bottom pairing guy for years.

Boston Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara and Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid present intriguing battle

Zee telling it like it is. :laugh: Good for you, Zee.

Hockey’s Friendly Giant is twice as old as Connor McDavid but when asked how he copes with a moving train when he isn’t as quick as he used to be, Zdeno Chara doesn’t sound quite so friendly.
“How do you know I’m not as fast? The game is faster so how can I get slower?” said the six-foot-nine, 250-pound Chara, looking down, way down on the reporter who is shrinking noticeably from the lead-with-his-chin question he’s just asked.

Ok, then, let’s start over, shall we?

So Z, what’s so tough for a defenceman who goes against McDavid?
His speed, something else?
“You are asking me questions you already know. Connor is the best player in the league so for sure he’s unique, very special. At 16 he could have played in the NHL but he couldn’t because of the rules and legal stuff, but he would have had 80 points,” said Chara.
