Two NHL players who spent time playing alongside Zdeno Chara have taken to Instagram to react to Wednesday’s news.
The Washington Capitals announced they signed the defenseman to a one-year deal. Chara spent the last 14 seasons in Boston, served as its captain and helped lead the Bruins to a Stanley Cup in 2011.
The 43-year-old bid farewell to the Bruins in a heartfelt Instagram post, and was met with a slew of comments.
Two coming from Milan Lucic and Torey Krug, both of whom called Chara a teammate in their careers.
Chara will face his former team eight times during the 56-game NHL regular season.
