I knew after going to game 6 in 2008 against the Canadiens that the Bruins franchise was turning the corner. I knew that they were finally going to rise above what I had grown up watching for most of the mid 90s through 2008. I knew that they may lose that game 7 back in Montreal (which they did) but I didn’t care. I could feel greater things coming.
The real pillar (figuratively and literally) behind that changing tide was Zdeno Chara. While Claude finally focused the team and signings like Savard and Kessel brought significant talent (remember, Bergeron wasn’t even playing those playoffs), Chara was the true force and authority behind the Bruins’ attitude and on ice presence.
I don’t doubt he’ll have as successful a retirement as he did a hockey career.
Thanks for everything, Z!
