HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Zdeno Chara turns 40

[PatriceBergeronFan]

When he wasn't with us...Chara vs McCabe was epic. That blue-mohawked fool was never really the same again. Chara picked him up and slammed him.

Is that the rag doll fight? That was incredible. Chara is absurdly strong.

Happy Birthday big Z. ! You are having a very good year.

Thanks for the stick after the Detroit game !

Happy Birthday Big Guy!!!

Big Z is having a great year compared to last.

I have to admit that I thought he was finished after last season, but am glad he has rebounded this season.

...and that was a class act giving you his stick.

Great guy, great player, this might be one of his best years at age 39/40!! +19 on this team is very impressive, at age 40 he is looking Tom brady-ish! Good job Z, happy BDAY!

I agree he's having a much better year than last year, but to suggest this is one of his best years and he's "Tom Brady-ish" is insanely hyperbolic.

Regardless, pretty ****ing amazing that the tallest player IN THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE has been around for nearly two decades and is still a very impactful player. I respect anyone, athlete or other job, who can be as passionately committed to excellence as Zdeno Chara is.

Happy Birthday, Big Z!

I hope he stays with Boston until the day he decides to hang them up. He's going to go down as one of the best dmen to ever play the game and deserves a place among the Bruins Mt Rushmore of defensemen when it's all said and done.
