Zdeno Chara Scores, Gets Love From Lightning Players In Potential Final Game
In possibly the last game of his storied NHL career, New York Islanders defenceman Zdeno Chara scores in the final minute against the Tampa Bay Lightning, then gets handshakes from his Tampa opponents after the game.
Note: I have hated him as a hockey player on teams I have detested for years (so not personal hatred just how many times he blocked tampa's advancement) the look on his face when they all lined up was priceless.
As if we needed more evidence of the glorious Big Z, and the respect he has earned, and how classy and pure the sport of hockey is as a game, right? ❤️
If you didnt know any better you would think Chara and Hedman are normal sized men…… Then you see them next to other players and are like nope they are giants.

It kind of looked like no one was playing defense when he got the puck
classy
I'd love to see Chara and Brady keep going.
It's not his final game in NHL, he is still a young athlete (born in 1977).
classy
I hope I never see this dinasour on the ice ever again.. idiot the league made special rules for..good riddance..too bad he didnt go out injured
If that truly was his final game in the NHL, I can't think of a better way to go out.
P.S. – Too bad the cut the clip off so early
Damn didn’t realize hedmen is a big dude. Same height as chara almost

Classy act from Lighting. Only thing that would have been better is if Big Z was in black and gold…
0:57 ''Tremendous respect for Slovenian Chara'' …Slovakian not Slovenian
I love to hate that guy. Chara is one of those "but you would have loved him on your team" players. Marchand?… not so much.

Great career, Zdeno! 👏 Last time we see Hedman looks small )
Hockey is without a doubt the "classiest" professional sport.
Dude is made of iron, you can’t convince me other wise
Z: One of the most respected players ever
Hockey,the only pro sport left in America with class and integrity. No politic BS.
Hele – Chára – GRATULUJU!
that's awesome , classy by the lightning
Our society needs to take note of this…
They have no choice but to shake the bullies hand, the league says so
See ya
That was inspirational woo
Classy move from Tampa. Would like to see Chara get a front office position with the Isles
“Everyone liked that”
Butch goring had issues with rangers…..immature move
Our man
Chara was drafted in '96… that is absolutely nuts
legendary hall of fame
Although a rival Chara is an institution, loved the lightning reaction, that was cool
I can’t stop watching this
One more season! One more season! One more season! One more season! One more season!
As a lifelong bruins fan this is so sad that hes gone now ever since he left boston things havent been the same without him
Out on a note
Sweet
What a way to end a career!
Classey from tampa bay
