Milan Lucic Corroborates Chara's Story of Canucks' Premature Celebration in 2011
Zdeno Chara stirred the earlier this season when he said the Vancouver Canucks prematurely celebrated their Stanley Cup Final series in 2011. The Canucks won Games 1 & 2 before losing the series in 7 games.
Then-Canuck Kevin Bieksa refuted Chara's claims, suggesting they were a total fabrication. Classic he-said/she-said.
Current-day Calgary Flame forward Milan Lucic corroborated Chara's account in a recent interview.
"We used to be able to watch the other team pre-game skate as we were eating pre-game meal,» Lucic said on the Dropping the Gloves Podcast. «Before that Game 6, I don't even know if the Canucks skated or not, but somebody went out and started doing something like [lifting the Cup]."
