Bruins legend Zdeno Chara formally received his call to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday evening, earning his spot in hockey immortality as one of the most dominant blueliners of his era.
“I’m kind of nervous just standing here because there’s just so many legends and so many players, good people who have done so much,” Chara said Saturday. “I don’t know how to describe it. It is a little bit surreal.”
“It felt very special. To be honest, I got some shakes,” Chara added of seeing his plaque in Toronto for the first time.
