Bruins’ Zdeno Chara Laughs At Red Wings’ Brendan Smith

At the end of the first period, tempers flared a bit between the Red Wings and Bruins, capping off with this shoving match between Zdeno Chara and Brendan Smith. Chara seemingly toyed with Smith, laughing the whole time, knowing full well that Smith wouldn’t fight him. Chara has 7 inches and 55 lbs on Smith, so it’s in Smith’s best interest to not fight Chara. Both of them were given matching minor penalties.
