Watch as the Boston Bruins honour longtime defenceman Zdeno Chara with a touching appreciation video ahead of the ceremonial faceoff.

[@Boxingdiehard]

End of an era. He was incredible to watch all these years. Enjoy your retirement big man

[@tatahadak4796]

Dúfam ,že príde na Slovensko

[@pitzzapaprika9356]

Why he dont play anny more???

[@sojiroseta98]

As a Habs fan, i've seen a healthy dose of big Z, nothing but respect for the man!

[@stentorofsparta3576]

Is that cause Pacioretty left on bad terms?

[@sojiroseta98]

@@stentorofsparta3576 1)If you are a hockey fan, big Z has more than earned his respect regardless, and 2) I was never in the 'call the cops' group of fans when Patches got hurt and 3) Pacioretty was a terrible captain anyways so meh

[@casmatt99]

As a Boston fan, it's hard to explain just how massive his presence was to the team, the organization and the fans. He was a leader in every sense, and a consummate professional. His career speaks for itself, a larger-than-life legend.

[@ct-1529]

The big Z has been my favorite player ever since I started watching hockey

It was a truly high honor to have you play here in DC, Zdeno.

[@PierLuc111]

I'm surprised his kids aren't 6'1 already

[@BrunoPuntzJones84]

Underrated comment.

[@keeshandave8603]

As a Leafs fan, I respect him! Enjoy your retirement Big Z!

Здено Хара это легенда Бостона и Словацкого хоккея 👍👍👍

[@_thebearden_]

So nice to see my favorite Bruin get honored today, and they won for him as well!

[@zacharyczarnecki3870]

I loved the way zdeno played on the ice the passion for his entire career he followed his dream and career as a one of the greatest defensemen of all time in the National hockey league and I send my congratulations on his retirement thanks chara for playing with the Boston bruins and may no fan or anyone forget your number 33 and the passion you had for hockey 🏒⛸thanks for playing zdeno chara and again amazing performance during the 2011 Stanley cup finals

[@Chibipayne]

A beast of a man and a beast of a player. Happy retirement ❤

[@JohnA891]

To see how he started, and where he ended up is just great. When he came to OTT as a throw in on a trade he was just barely NHL caliber. He grew into a monster of a player then OTT had that Chara Redden choice to make. Sucked for us, but what he became in BOS was awesome. Enjoy your well deserved retirement Big Z, its the ribs!

[@tallerthanchara]

Great hockey player. He showed people that tall players can be good. I'm 6'11" and when the guys call me "Chara" I take it as a great compliment.

[@raphaelschannel]

absolute sports legend and a great man

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

Thank you BIG Z! Got to see you play live a few times and im glad. You're a class act. Beginning to the end of an era.

[@thelmcshow7066]

thank you big z

[@johnnyp9075]

Big Z - Big respect ! Thx

[@BigD4446]

We're going to miss you Big Z!

[@barybarancok10]

Big man🇸🇰🔥👏

[@beachboysswiftie]

Even though I’m a sharks fan it’s gonna be weird to not see him on the ice anymore. I wish him nothing but the best in his retirement. I bet his number will be retired by Boston at some point.

[@JoE-kx7dw]

That's a scary dude 😳 I got scared everytime I seen him go in the corner with one of the Hab's little forward's 😬

[@CaptSamLavender]

We should never see another 33 on the ice of the Bruins. That number belongs in the rafters. Same with 37 in due time

[@TheHeston83]

respect for him Enjoy your Retirement Big Z

[@Razzledazzle72]

I'm not a big fan of retiring numbers but 33 and 37 should be in the rafters someday

[@stentorofsparta3576]

Nice of the Bruins to show such respect to a Capitals legend.

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

cringe. Caps are trash

[@vladimirbilohuscin6385]

Úžasná kariéra

[@Xam-Ekb]

Хара крутой

[@jirislosr4445]

The Legend 🏆

[@jeffcabral8077]

If they were going to retire his number, this would have been the night/time to do it imo

[@alenabelanova2502]

Skromny a dobry chlapec

[@marie-franceperrier6542]

they should included the clip where Domi stood toe to toe with Chara

[@Bruins-vq5ey]

What?

Очень жаль old school

[@justinsullivan5839]

Ngl, expected that place to get a hell of a lot louder. Disappointed in my fellow Bs fans.

[@ZY97_]

Going to miss 33 and 40

[@marc-andrefleury4285]

[@marc-andrefleury4285]

@Silver Fox Sports very well

Nech žije Big Z

[@youneedhelp6902]

Now he can go join JAROMIR JAGERS TEAM,GOOD FOR A NOTHER 5 Years

[@topiheimola69]

Imagine playing on the highest level of a given sport as one of the best to do it for 20 years and they still couldn't be bothered to learn to pronounce your goddamn name properly

[@user-ee9jj8we5s]

33 🎉🤌💪💪💪👍👍👍🤜🤛😎✊

[@markherzog3435]

[@lip91688]

[@maxbell878]

[@maxbell878]
