The last time that the Blues saw Zdeno Chara, it was game seven of the Stanley Cup final, and the then-42 year old was playing through a broken jaw injury and a fishbowl of a facial protector.
Since then, covid’s shortened two seasons and made travel between the two conferences impossible, so Blues fans didn’t get an opportunity to see Chara lumber around on the ice as a member of the Washington Capitals last year. Chara spent 14 seasons with the Bruins; the sight of him in a Caps jersey was jarring.
You know what would be more jarring?
