Boston Bruins: Zdeno Chara wins Slovakian Player of the Year award

For the sixth time in his career, Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara has been named the best hockey player in Slovakia. It was rather a clear choice for all the Slovak media and fans, after he almost led the Bruins to Stanley Cup glory, even with the broken jaw.

It would have been a perfect ending for a warrior like Zdeno Chara to win the Stanley Cup for the second time in his career. Regardless of the less than positive end result, it was one heck of a story for both him and his Boston Bruins.
