Zdeno Chara recently made some MAJOR allegations against the Vancouver Canucks and the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.
The longtime Bruins captain appeared on the Games With Names Podcast with Patriots legend Julian Edelman and comedian Sam Morril earlier this week to discuss his career. Most specifically, the heated 2011 Stanley Cup Final against the Vancouver Canucks.
On the show, Big Zee claimed that he and his teammates saw Canucks players practicing how they would celebrate hoisting the Stanley Cup on the ice at TD Garden in Boston during the series.
Here's what Chara had to say:
''After losing two games in Vancouver, we saw players from Vancouver coming on the ice in the Garden, and they were actually practising how they would be lifting the Cup and handing off the Cup to each other ... And we found out about these things, and we were like �f*** this, we are not going to allow this to happen.' It just fuelled us.''
And, of course, down 3-2 in the series, the Bruins outscored the Canucks 12-1 the rest of the way. Winning game six at home 5-2 and game seven in Vancouver by a score of 4-0 and hoisting the Cup in front of the Rogers Arena crowd.
Chara continued:
''We heard about a few things. There were some rumours that they called the league and they were asking; I believe it was after ... I don't know what game it was they were calling the league and asking how many people or family members they can take on the ice after they win the championship.''
''We found out about these things For us, that was a huge huge motivation.''
These are some very heavy allegations from Chara, and if true, it's completely embarrassing for that Vancouver team. However, Sportsnet's Jeff Marek shared that he spoke to former Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa, who had this to say:
''Never happened ... 100% didn't happen.''
So, who's telling the truth!?
