- Zdeno Chara sits down with Sharon Alfonsi to talk all things.. well in short, all things Zdeno Chara. He talks about wanting to play past 41 (when his contract is up), being cut 3 times when he was 16 years old and more.

As a Czech person and hockey player I am so proud of you , Slovakian brother.
Actually his father Zdeněk is originally from Strakonice, also Zdeno was born in Czechoslovakia so… let’s say he is ours
Five years later, Chara is still in the game.
Now 6 😂
@@frostrealm8763 and now he's back on the islanders
@@frostrealm8763 And now retired. Thanks for everything Z ❤️
@@frostrealm8763 now 8 but not here anymore
There is a famous screenshot floating around the Slovak internet. It is a headline from the TV news which says “Chara broke his own record” and there is a sentence underneath that says “11 dead and 43 injured” which is from those flash news that are unrelated to the headline. Hillarious coincidence, but also not that unlikely haha. Chara is a legend.
6 years later and Chara is a Washington capital. Thank you big Z for your time in the black and gold.
Not a Boston fan but I can see Chara getting his number retired and inducted to the hall of fame
AlphaBossGaming he is epic tho isn't he
Yeah. I think he's one of the best defenseman of all-time.
AlphaBossGaming not a haller
That's a cute understatement.
I can't see him not having his number retired by the Bruins and him not being inducted in the HoF.
Seahawks2014 - SumoRugby retired maybe but not a hall of famer. He just isn't that good. We can't seriously put anyone into the hall of fame it doesn't work like that.
the interviewer does a great job
She is cute too!
agreed!
She has a great sexy body with beautiful legs
I've been watching the Bruins since the awful Cup losses to the Oilers in the 80s and he is up there with Ray and Cam and Bergie for me....forever grateful for his dedication and 2011
what a smart, down to earth person and such a great athlete ! well done all the best to him!
Even though Chara crushed the Leafs as a Senator and Bruin, how can you note love his work ethic, discipline, and intelligence?
Being a Bruins fan sometimes I think he purposely doesn't shoot the puck as hard as he can because he doesn't want to hurt anyone.
Chara not wanting to hurt anyone? Allow me to laugh for a few minutes. You're a real comedian
Same with hitting. He could injure 2-3 guys a night if he wanted
@@Veikra Yet another Montreal fan with the victim's mentality. It's contagious, a leftover from the days when French-Canadiens were viewed as second class citizens by the upper crust Anglos of Montreal - but guess what...it's 2019, people...and those days are OVER. Time to change your perspective and get on with having a more positive outlook on life, including hockey!
He's a dirty hockey player. Your comment is a joke. czcams.com/video/jimZ1tSdPY0/video.html
@northlander it was a slap shot and true he was truly concerned
Coming from a Blackhawks fan, I respect Chara a lot..what a great player.
I have been a hawks fan since 1975!
@@markdemell8056 Me since early 60s. I always wanted to see Chara in a Hawks uni.
Chi Cris Same I’m a hawks fan We hate the bruins but he is okay
One of the most well-rounded athletes. Incredible guy.
"well rounded" ? on what planet?
@@JimA-pp2nu dumb response.
I met him in public once he is a really nice guy
Atomic Delithien You lucky duck...
Be smarter. Nice when wants to be. Evil when wants to be. Don't be so simple to judge someone by 5 mins..
Yup. Not all hockey players are nice but he is. Shawn Thornton for example was a douche.
I met him aswell when he was leaving practice and just talking to him I just couldnt believe how nice and polite he is. Hes a gentle giant, def not the same person u see on the ice, u would think it's his twin brother u see on the ice lol
He is a hockey player.
It is 2019. He still plays and he is really good...greeting form Slovakia
He once accidentally inhaled another player who remained lodged in his sinus cavity until his family realized he was missing . He broke one of his sticks and a bird flew out of it.
Met him at the Marriott next to the Nassau coliseum when he was too young to drink!!!!!
All Class, great role model
This is coming from a Pittsburgh fan, Zdeno Chara is a great guy and a great hockey player, I was never one for these so called "rivalries", hell, I even have his jersey
The fact that you are a Pens fan and don't get rivalries speaks volumes about what pink hats Pens fans are when it comes to competitive sports like hockey. We understand it all quite well in Boston. Oh and as much as I can't stand Syndy Criesby when he puts that horrible looking flightless waterfowl jersey on because he is as dirty as he is skilled, he shows great class with fans; even the ones who chirp him. That's what makes 99.9% of all NHL hockey players far superior people over every other pro athlete on the planet.
Sorry, just chirping and trash talking; it's a hockey thing......
@@farque7179 nice backhanded compliments
chara's dirty aswell
Very humble, one of the greats....👍
The boss in Boston our hero our captain big Z!!!! The man the legend the role model and one of the best in history of is sport thank you Z
Our Slovak Giant, we are so proud 👍🇸🇰🏒🥅
I didn’t realize he looked like a bodybuilder dude wow
Been a Boston Bruins fan for over 50 years. Love Z. One of my all-time favourites.
He's my favourite to he's a beast he'd punch a whole through your face and rag doll you
next to Bobby Orr!
I'm from Quebec and lived and breathed the Bruins for over 65 years now. We have sure seen some great players. Don Simmons was my boyhood hero because I wanted to be a goalie.
Fantastic Collaboration. We will Always Love and Respect BIG Z. it would be fun to see a follow-up interview since he's still going Strong.
He is AWESOME and she is STUNNING.
Crazy to think he's back with the islanders at age 44! Z has always been one of my favorite players growing up and I'm more than psyched that he's back on my favorite team! He's not like most guys, he's very down to earth, very smart, and is a man of the people. I hope we can get him that second cup and who knows, maybe he'll keep playing after this season
Love you Z
You were a great captain
I always find it fascinating that these guys that plays one of the fastest and most physical sport are among the most humble and down to earth.
"What do you think will happen to Brad Marchand when you retire?"..."He will get beat up a lot."
Speaks 7 languages , has a finance degree and full time NHLer Wow!
Mike K 7?
Very impressive.
he speaks 5 languages - slovak, german, english, russian, swedish. Maybe you could say 6 if you count czech language
@@petercasnocha5340 i thought they spoke the same language in the Czech Republic and Slovakia .
@@quincee3376 They do.
42 and still playing.
45 and still waiting to sign new contract
7:52 Hahaha! The Toronto goalie looked like he was about to try and break it up. He was legitimately concerned for McCabe.
Future hall of famer without a doubt
I just don't get it...why did Boston lose him?
Best wishes for him and his family from motherland Slovakia 🇸🇰❤️👍
When Chara lifted the Stanley Cup , i first thought , hopefully he does not rip it apart, than i thought, it looks like a beer pitcher, compared to his size
Than, THEN....pick juan!
Bahaha, Buddy I’m fuckin dying over here! Pick Juan! 🤣🤣🤣
A friend, and a hero to me :)
True Story: on a flight from Europe to the States in the 90s, I sat next to a man who was built like a house. His quads and forearms were huge. And he was quietly reading a slovakian magazine. Born to Czechoslovakian parents and speaking the language, I struck up a conversation with the man who introduced himself as Zdeno's father. He was a (I believe if memory serves me right, a Grecco Roman wrestler). This was the year when Z was drafted by the Islanders. Very nice guy. Not a Bruins fan, but man I respect his accomplishments and his low-key demeanor. I hope though the Blue Jackets pull through. Love that team.
He's one of my favorite people off the ice. I read and heard a lot of good things about him. However, I can't help it, hate him when he plays against my favorite NHL team. MY RESPECT to the future hall of famer and one the humblest men on earth.
Definitely one of present day hockey's great players, and I too believe his number will be retired and that he has earned a place in the hockey hall of fame.
valkry007 1st ballot H.O.F. guaranteed. One of hockeys, great, moments, is when Chara, hoisted, the cup !
Excellent piece on my favorite player. Very well done, really showing what a powerful man Z is on and off the ice, a true presence. I have great admiration for him! I for one hope he does continue on after his contract expires.
I predict he,ll play til he is 45 !
@@markdemell8056 bro saw the future lol
Have met him 3 times he’s a really nice and an awesome guy!
Chara is the LEGENDARY player! Respect of him
Thanks for posting this. This is why I love hockey. The players are down to earth and humble.
A legend.
Love Big Z..Hope he stays 2 more years
That is the only man when he starts fighting I shout at the refs to stop the fucking fight... you DO NOT let chara fight
He is only a good fighter when he does not lose his stability. Players that fight him try to pull him down as soon as possible. He also loses a lot of fights because of this.
lol ur so gay. he's a good fighter but against the best in the league he gets embarrassed
I think even Chuck Norris is scared of Chara
Never
So is Chuckie Cheese!
This was one of the most fun days of my life! He is an amazing guy.
Such a great story. i love having been able to root him for so long
that dude is a better athlete than ANY nfl or nba athlete.. he would become a insane fighter.
He has better english then i expected
DWAYROBANDBIG Dude 7 languages?! that blew me away
than
better than yours, dumb ass!
The guy respects the game, the fans and he loves Don Cherry. He has all the qualifications to be a hall of famer.
One of my all time favorites!
great guy. His work ethic is huge!
Cmon Z another year big guy!
wow..7 languages, degree..be smart and successful... strong will - is this the "perfect" prototype of a sportsman? Respect.
I'm a simple man, I see Chara... I run.
:D :D :D :D
🤣🤣🤣 this made me laugh.
More like hide, he’d catch up to you in a microsecond
I'd hide in Alphys' lab and let Undyne handle him
Chara is an excellent human being and hockey player
Dude is a legend
Absolute legend!
Chara is my favorite player 👌👌👍🏻
I am really tall so This is an inspiration
+Yoda Gaming same
YodaGaming Mine too, along with Bergeron :3
lilshrum I’m sorry.
Great interview..
Bravo...
Great player, seems like a great guy.
For me, best defender in the game for sure at least in Slovakia. Next hall of famer. And one of the best representant of Slovak hockey and mentality. And I'm thankfull for that!
This was a GREAT story.
Hugely impressed by him....
One of my favorite players.
Love Z ...the epitome of all athletes! He is Great
At a hotel I was told to bring in a dinner to a person in a room. It was Chara sitting. His legs were so long he looked like a table. He was very humble and not full of himself. He was a cool cat.
I’m an Habs fan to the core but i have great respect for Chara....future all of famer....big player but not a dirty player...and a good man 👍
He is on the Mt. Rushmore of Boston Athletes, we're lucky to have him here in Beantown!
Mike C not quite.... Brady, Bird, Orr, Williams
Hes like a super human, speaks 7 languages, has finance degree and one best NHL players of all times...thats admirable
Humble and bad ass rolled into one!
Red Wings fan here.....Chara is great to watch because his skill matches his toughness. As great as Nick Lidstrom was, he didn’t have that intimidation factor Chara has. Sad to see him with the Capitals now. I wish Boston could have kept him and had him spend the rest of his career there.
My brother ran into big Z at the airport in Beantown. Said he is A) wicked smart... i.e. 7 languages and a savy financier. B) extremely polite. And C) a humble family man. He said it was hard to get him to talk about hockey. He wanted to talk about family among other things. My brother said if he wasn't a famous sports icon, you can bet he'd be wealthy from some other avenue using his incredible intellect. Great piece on a great individual.
I am an english Quebecer and my french is just ok , ,,7 languages! WOW!
This dude is an incredible athlete still going strong
So happy that he’s plays on my team. He’s a great clean player
Great show.. what a tank
chara's my favorite player and he plays for my favorite team.i have five jersey's of him
if you are in the same line with chara, you can do anything you want, nothing can happen to you
I am a Blackhawks fan and a fellow original six guy to my Bruin brethren. Oh, how I wish I could find a time machine and draft Chara in '96. In the current century, we won three cups, but have mostly had soft teams. If Chara were on the Hawks today, I don't think other teams would have taken liberties with Crawford and company. Love Chara. He is my favorite non-Blackhawk.
Chara back on the isles and love him every moment he plays for us. Such an amazing guy
Big man with even bigger hearth! Go Bruins! :)
Hope the bruins keep him for 2018/19 season. A great player and great man.
Awesome
Am I the only one who's never heard anyone call him "Z"? Always just called him Chara.
Yeah I've never heard it either.
Apathetic Lifestyle if you watch behind the b he's called that by his teammates.
Quinn S G Power yeah they call him just Chara but "Z" is nickname for Zemgus Girgensons
i always called him Big Z as a bruins fan
I'm from detroit, our Z is Zetterberg so I've naturally only heard Zetterberg called "Z".
It's a team thing, I think.
Legend
As a Miami Dolphins fans i have nothing to say!! Red Bull domination era as just begun !
Long Love Big Z😍💓💕
13:57 Chara saying he doesn't drink caffeine... smh we all remember him drinking that coke on the bench seven years ago
As a Flyers fan, I can say I love this guy as a player and now after seeing this, as a down to earth centered human.
Wake up and see the pain in his eyes
I watched him play for the AHL in Lexington, Kentucky in 1999ish and served him and the team a few beers too...lol
One of the few Bruins I like and respect. Great individual on and off the ice, not a lot of his teammates can say the same...
hate him as an opponent but have lots of respect for him and his love for the game.
I never liked Chara but after this I have respect for him ✌️
same
The moral of the story??? Never judge!
It just goes to show you there are athletes out there that are human and they don’t let their “million dollar life” ego get to them. I’ve seen him around Boston a couple times and he’s just your neighborhood friendly giant, he knows everybody, and everybody knows him 🤘🏻☮️
As a leafs fan i have always respected the way chara plays and the level he plays at.
I was never a Chara fan, but I think it's because I never knew anything about him... Having seen this, I've got a newfound respect for him.
I remember watching him play live with P.G.
He seems like a very humble, nice guy. Not scary at all.
thank you sir for blessing us with your talents...from a boston & hockey fan.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSuuuuperrrrr DZEEEEENOOOOO !!! BIG HEART!!!
