Not surprised that Chara didn't seem nearly as excited to fight Oleksiak as he does other players. Normally if a bruin is being pushed around by a smallish tough guy, Chara barrels in and begs the opposing player to fight with little shots and jabs.. not to mention putting his nose within a 1/2 of the other players nose (intimidation tactic). Oleksiak was very physical with the Bruin player, and Chara slowly coasts in, takes a few shoves from Oleksiak himself.. before he finally decides to fight. When they are fighting, you can see he tried to enforce his normal routine, of throwing a few punches then getting the takedown... except when he tried to headlock Oleksiak and fall, Chara couldn't budge the man who is equal in his size... Chara then tried to pull him into him with a tug, again to no avail.
I really like Chara as a leader and a player, but I've always hated how he is so eager to fight the smaller man... but when he's fought players in his category, he's alway has an exit strategy first planned out.
Jealous that Pittsburgh landed Oleksiak... always liked his potential.
