He's not wrong. Only problem is that Hal Gill wasn't as good as Z.And here is where Fluto shows up:
"For eight seasons, Hal Gill was Boston’s version of Chara."

AhemProbably, but he's not one of my favorites.
Then again I'm not sure I really have any favorites right now.
I liked the Smith article.
The funniest thing is that Gill was our Chara - that’s how far this club has come
I believe it. I saw it live. Gill actually went after Chara which was a big mistake. I give Gill a lot of credit for taking him on. It's probably on youtube.That would be Hal Gill.
I will have to read it, I can't believe Gill took him on.
I think with it being a shorter season and the chances he sits out a few games to rest means his salary will be lower than anticipated.Sign the man!
Hmmmm.
Does the peanut know something??
As for Sweeney, not his fault his team choked on home ice vs the Blues. He had the pieces in place and they fell apart because the other goalie made some saves in the first 15 minutes.
I was asking a question. I got an answer
What’s it like to fight Zdeno Chara? ‘I felt like a little boy’
Jake's dad:
“He had me in the most vulnerable position I’ve ever been in during a hockey fight. And I’ve been in a few hundred fights in my life,” DeBrusk said. “I couldn’t reach him. I tried to throw one punch, and it was a foot and a half short. I was like, ‘Wow. This is bad.’ He had a real good grip on me.
Worrell:
During one of their fights, Worrell was at risk of a bad outcome. By his recollection, he was puffing through a two-minute shift when the puck got to him along the wall. Worrell wanted to get the puck out of the Florida zone and retreat to the bench. Chara had other intentions.
“As soon as it did, I breathed a sigh of relief,” Worrell said of advancing the puck. “But he thought I was trying to fight him. So the gloves drop. I was like, ‘Oh, Lord.’ I just tried to hold on. He got me with a real clean one real quick. So we’re sitting in the penalty box. I just remember saying, ‘Z, I don’t understand. Why’d you want to fight me? I was literally trying to climb up you to get off the ice.’ I was dead tired. I wanted nothing to do with him.”
Somebody needs to write a book about Zee someday.
I take it that Chara is out and Bergeron is the new captain.
My opinion is he re-signs, always has been. Jimmy was the only one to respond, other than a few "likes".
Time will tell I guess.
I can't agree they had the pieces to win. Who was their 2nd line RW in game 7 again? That team was carried by Rask and Marchand who were brilliant, and received some great fortune by not having to play Tampa or Washington.
Sweeney failed that team at the trade deadline. He needed 3 pieces to win, he got 2 and they got close, but ultimately and predictably fell short. He's done the same thing at every deadline, half measures.
This team is built to win regular season games. It's not built to win in the playoffs and they know it. Neely has talked repeatedly and specifically about what they're missing, but it seems good enough for Sweeney, which feels very Sinden-esque.
I'm fine either way.My opinion is he re-signs, always has been. Jimmy was the only one to respond, other than a few "likes".
Time will tell I guess.
Yah it was at my end and I watched it all unfoldI believe it. I saw it live. Gill actually went after Chara which was a big mistake. I give Gill a lot of credit for taking him on. It's probably on youtube.
Yah it was at my end and I watched it all unfold
there was time as they got set for me to fear for Hal Gill’s life
Gill was not a plus fighter but definitely kudos for taking him on
Gill is tall but Chara looked like a pterodactyl on skates
seriously I can see it like it was yesterday
here is one in Ottawa.
what an epic beatdown and Chara shockingly kept going
this is the type of fight that should send shivers through locker rooms
I predict he signs with the Isles and ends his career with the team he started with.My opinion is he re-signs, always has been. Jimmy was the only one to respond, other than a few "likes".

What is your opinion on the Bruins lack of snarl over the last few years? Sweeney?, Cassidy?, Neely? I really want to believe Cam doesn't like seeing us pushed around every game. BUT he's been watching it happen for years now and has done nothing to address it.Zdeno Chara vs. Hal Gill, November 09, 2002 - Ottawa Senators vs. Boston Bruins
Dennis Bonvie ?
PJ Stock?
a great fight between Mike Knuble & Mr Carrie Underwood
Dale Arnold saying multiple times Zdeno Chara speared Hal Gill twice
I need a shower - we need more of this

They are as a group moving to more physical playersWhat is your opinion on the Bruins lack of snarl over the last few years? Sweeney?, Cassidy?, Neely?

Yeah, we need more of this.
