Both captain and conscience of the Bruins, Zdeno Chara took a global view of the NHL’s plan to return.
“For us, we have to be grateful for the opportunity we’re getting,” he said Thursday on a Zoom call with reporters.
“When you look at real life, [what] other people’s families, businesses go through, it’s one of those things we’re getting the opportunity to start almost where we ended the season. Not everybody is getting the same chance.”
Once it is prudent to compete in games, possibly by the end of July, the Bruins (44-14-12) will play in a three-game, round-robin tournament to determine the Eastern Conference’s top four playoff seeds.
