Zdeno Chara, wearing bib number 3333, completes Boston Marathon in 3:38:23

Zdeno Chara joined around 30,000 other athletes as he competed in the annual Boston Marathon on Monday.

The legendary Boston Bruin and former Capital towered over his competition in his first-ever marathon. He finished the marathon with a 3:38:23 time wearing bib number 3333, a tribute to his longtime #33 jersey number. He averaged 8:20 per mile.

Even in dreary weather, fans cheered for their 46-year-old former captain as he crossed the finish line. Marathon organizers played the Bruins’ goal song (”Kernkraft 400” by Zombie Nation) to celebrate his accomplishment.

Betrayed by Hathaway: Bruins beat Caps 5-2

The Washington Capitals completed their road calendar with a visit to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. Someone got hurt again.

After a scoreless first period, Brad Marchand of all people scored a power-play goal, finishing off some clean passing by Boston. Tyler Bertuzzi got a rebound from the low slot to make it 2-0, but Nick Jensen scored a rush goal off Charlie MacAvoy’s body to get Washington on the board.

Tomas Nosek got a gift of a failed clear in the third. Charlie Lindgren left the game with injury, then Tom Wilson recorded his 12th goal in his abbreviated season. Nosek sent a clean pass to Garnet Hathaway to make it 4-2 Boston. Jake DeBrusk got the empty-netter.

Caps lose. They finish the season at home on Thursday.

Brad Marchand on Garnet Hathaway and Tyler Bertuzzi’s trades to the Bruins: ‘All the guys I hate are now on our team’

The Washington Capitals traded Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov to Boston ahead of the trade deadline and both have fit in instantly with the Bruins. Orlov has seen an offensive explosion which earned him First Star of the Week honors and the nickname Bobby Orrlov, while Hathaway’s gritty, passionate play has matched perfectly with the Bruins’ rough-and-tumble style.

The Bruins also landed forward Tyler Bertuzzi at the deadline, getting the gritty goal-scorer from the Detroit Red Wings for a first-round pick.

Known pest, Brad Marchand, had a personal reason for liking the trades. He no longer has to play against Hathaway and Bertuzzi, two players he formerly hated.

Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway registered their first points with the Boston Bruins. Of course, it came on the same goal.

It seems like Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway’s years of working together are paying off as they team up for the Boston Bruins. After suiting up for the Bruins for the first time on Saturday night (so weird), the two notched their first points with their new team Monday against the Edmonton Oilers.

In true storybook fashion, their points came on the same goal.
