Chara’s Jail Break

In a scene that was reminiscent of the movies “Slapshot” and Woody Allen’s “Take the Money and Run,” Boston Bruins’ Captain Zdeno Chara was involved in a jail break during last night’s Round 1 Game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Buffalo Sabres.

According to Chara and others,  the  penalty box official was at fault for the early parole (I still contend it was an NHL pardon). Still, when the warden unlocks the cell doors, isn’t it incumbent on the aggressors to serve their time?

Even if he didn’t serve his full time, his Noriegan-like extradition gave the home crowd plenty about which to cheer.

On a side note, is it just me or does Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta have a bloodletting quota? At least once a game, you can count on him heading to the bench with blood flowing from some part of his face.
