The giant wasn’t asleep, or even close to nodding off, but for the first month of the new season, Bruins captain Zdeno Chara was a somewhat slumbering version of his Norris Trophy-winning self. He was caught somewhere between being the dominating Big Z and just being a whole bunch of little z’s . . . zzzz . . . zzz ...

They also knew that, given the nature of NHL rookies, Marchand would have his peaks and ...
