Zdeno Chara played his 1,500th NHL game on Tuesday night when the Boston Bruins visited the Montreal Canadiens. This was quite the milestone for Chara, so much so that the Canadiens fans gave him a standing ovation.
What’s the world coming to if Chara gets an ovation in Montreal?!
All kidding aside, Tuesday night was an awesome moment for Chara. He’s now one of only six defensemen to suit up for 1,500 games. The others? Chris Chelios, Scott Stevens, Larry Murphy, Ray Bourque, and Nicklas Lidstrom.
