Seriously though, even at the ripe old age of 100 40, Zdeno Chara still helped carry the Bruins past the Toronto Maple Leafs and into the second round of the playoffs. His usage was modified by Bruce Cassidy, seeing virtually no power play time (0:23 ATOI), while still being utilized as the go-to defenseman on the penalty kill (3:39 ATOI). His overall time on ice average (22:54) went down to it’s lowest since his first season as a Senator (2001-02), having had as much to do with the Bruins defensive depth as it did with resting the aging rearguard.
Zdeno Chara is still the Bruin’s best defenseman
