Zdeno Chara admits that serving as a team captain for this year's NHL All-Star festivities was a lot more work than he initially thought it would be. But that didn't stop the Bruins defenseman from having a great time. Chara said he and the rest of the Bruins players and staff in attendance had a blast at this weekend's events. In fact, Chara even capped the weekend off with the game-winning goal in the All-Star Game -- something he didn't even realize until asked about it. Chara was also honored by the reception he received in Ottawa this weekend. The...

Zdeno Chara’s 108.8 mph slap shot Saturday night took the skills competition to a new level.
Is it a level we belong at? And is Chara a true natural, as a five-time slap shot champion in the skills competition?
Here’s what he did last night:
We’ve come a long way in about 22 years, when the slap shot competition was introduced. In 1990, the All-Star weekend had...

Do you have any idea how fast 108 miles per hour is? It's really absurd. But Zdeno Chara can hit a hockey puck that fast with four-fifths of a mph to spare, as he showed during Saturday night's Hardest Shot portion of the NHL All-Star Skills Challenge. NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is kind of blown away with this one. That's almost too fast to make something move. Regardless...

Although it was Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks that dressed as Superman during the Breakaway Challenge in the NHL All-Star Skills Competition, it was Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara that had the real feat of strength, blasting a 108.8 mph bomb in the Hardest Shot competition, shattering his own record of 105.9 mph.

OTTAWA — When does a 95.3-mph slap shot seem like child's play? When Zdeno Chara fires one at 108.8.

The NHL All-Star game is a fun event, but ultimately, it's just that -- fun. It doesn't count for two points in the standings, has few bragging rights at stake and in general is just an excuse to see the best players in the league skating together without worrying about things as trivial as hitting or playing defense. Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and Tyler Seguin will all be participating...

It was a second match up in as many days for Zdeno Chara and Daniel Alfredsson, but this time, it wasn’t a friendly. Ottawa’s 4-3 loss to the Boston Bruins was fast-paced and salty, with a good measure of physicality which shows that we are very clearly in the second half of the season. The break is over and done with, and as Ottawa looks ahead to the last 30 games of...

Dan Girardi leads all players by averaging 27:22 of action per game, more than two minutes above what Bruins strongman Zdeno Chara logs per appearance. The 27-year-old Girardi has become New York’s version of Chara - a stay-at-home shutdown presence - for the Bruins’ most viable competitor in the race for the Eastern Conference crown.
