Zdeno Chara Hit By Car, Cut From Team
TFHN - Daniel Ronel, Oct. 6
Nepean, ON • In an attempt to prove that the YGFHL shows no mercy, the Guelph Gryphons have released defenseman Zdeno Chara.
General Manager Steve Xzerman announced the decision following reports that Chara had been hit by a drunk driver near his home in Giant Country (any Roald Dahl fans?). Further reports are saying that Chara sustained minor injuries and will be clear to resume hockey activities as soon as tomorrow, should any team be stupid enough to pick him up.
In an equally stupid move, Stevie-X has signed Milan Lucic as a replacement. It is unclear if Lucic will be placed on defence to fill in Chara's spot on the bench, or if he will play his natural wing, with the team opting to dress just six blueliners.
James Duffy of TFSN has just tweeted that Xzerman released forward Bryan Little as well. More on that later. ∆
