Kevin Bieksa calls Zdeno Chara a liar on National Television
Earlier this week Zdeno Chara appeared on Julien Edelman's podcast to discuss his time as a member of the Boston Bruins. Chara discussed the Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup win, sharing a story that has never been shared before. According to Chara it was an incident involving the Canucks that led the Bruins to mounting such a comeback.
After losing two games in Vancouver, we saw players from Vancouver coming on the ice in the Garden, and they were actually practising how they would be lifting the Cup and handing off the Cup to each other. And we found out about these things and we were like �fuck this, we are not going to allow this to happen.' It just fueled us.
Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada, Kevin Bieksa, a member of the losing Canucks, offered his reply. Bieksa didn't hold back calling out Chara, specifically pointing out the holes in Chara's story.
One of the dumbest things we've ever heard clearly and we all work with Elliot, right? So that's saying a lot, but I don't think I have to spend a whole lot of time discrediting that this didn't happen because logistically. It's impossible, right?
You think about all the media that's their covering the finals and all the competitiveness to fight trying to find some story different than the other person. Clearly, somebody would have reported about that or had a camera. And even Chara walks it back a little bit of this comments from, we saw them in the Garden, to we heard to, we believe we heard.
Yeah, so, you know, originally like upset about it to hear because it's a little bit of an attack on our character, as a team, and an organization. But also our leadership group and you're talking about three first ball at Hall of Famers in the Sedin's and Luongo, to Malhotra, Hamhuis and myself, to think that we would allow something like that to happen.
Let alone participate in is disappointing, coming from a guy like Chara you just, you would expect more and maybe a little bit more of a mutual respect that he wouldn't repeat a like that. So I think like the main emotion I have right now is just disappointed in them.

It's clear Bieksa disagrees and he brings up some very good points. So who do you believe?
