Kevin Bieksa Responds to Zdeno Chara's Claims of Canucks' Prematurely Celebrating in 2011 Cup Final

The 2011 Stanley Cup Finals stand - to this day - as one of the fiercest, most hated series in NHL history; certainly in recent memory. The Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks hatred really began after Aaron Rome's huge, late hit on Nathan Horton:

The ferocity raged on throughout the series until the Bruins eventually took the series and the Cup in 7 games. The drama, however, still carries on to this day. Zdeno Chara recently recalled certain events surrounding the series, and at least one former Canuck took exception.

Chara made an appearance on retired NFL wide receiver Julien Edelman's podcast, Games with Names, and he made some less than dull accusations.

Kevin Bieksa, a veteran member of that very Canucks team fired back, saying that the events Chara recalled never happened. Adding further gas on this proverbial fire.

Chara had some other bits to say too, including that the Canucks players had called the NHL, asking how many friends and family were allowed on the ice after they win the Stanley Cup; basically counting their chickens before they hatched.
