The NHL announced their All-Decade teams Friday evening, and both Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara were named to the second team.
Here are the two teams.

As you can see, the Bruins are not the only team to have multiple players selected. The Pittsburgh Penguins had three(ish) with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and now-Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. The Chicago Blackhawks also had a pair with Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith, both of whom were on the first team.
Nevertheless, the sustained success both Bergeron and Chara had the last decade (and prior) makes them no-brainers for the distinction.
