Kevin Bieksa Slams Chara's 2011 Cup Final Comments, 'One of the dumbest things we've ever heard'

The drama of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final may never die down.

Tensions between the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks reached an all-time high during their seven-game, winner-take-all series, and the guys on each team still won't let it go. Most recently, retired defenseman Zdeno Chara appeared on the Games with Names podcast, and made some incendiary claims, including that - allegedly - some Vancouver players were practicing their Stanley Cup celebrations after Game 2; the Canucks had won the first two games of the series.

Kevin Bieksa, a member of that Canucks team, joined Sportsnet's panel on Saturday night to discuss these rumors. The retired blue-liner called the allegations 'one of the dumbest things we've ever heard,' suggesting that Chara's depiction is 'impossible' considering how much media scrutiny hovered over the entirety of that Stanley Cup Final.

Bieksa responded the other day as well, saying that there was a 100% chance that Chara's claims never happened. Classic, he said-she said; well, so to speak, anyway.
