Zdeno Chara is a Hockey Beast

Zdeno Chara is a beast.  6’9” and 255 pounds.  He’s the tallest player ever in the NHL.  And so tall that he has to play with an NHL waiver in order to use a stick 2″ longer than regulations allow.

Is he the best defenseman?  Many would argue yes (especially Bruins fans).  He is a Norris finalist almost every year but has only won once in 2009.

Detractors claim that he plays dirty.  And nasty hit severely injured Max Pacioretty in 2011.

Great video below with some of his best plays.

You be the judge on whether or not he deserves the label of a dirty player.
