Fernanadez Cleared/Chara Improving


The Boston Bruins medical staff have cleared Manny Fernandez to full practice and play with the team earlier today. Zdeno Chara has apparently been improving drastically and we may be seeing him in uniform during a crucial series against Montreal on Thursday and Saturday. John Bish stated that Chara was giving Thomas and Fernandez all they could handle with both wrist shots and slap shots. Chara's shooting strength has increased drastically since yesterday's practice which is a terrific sign for the captain.

***UPDATE Wed 12:32 pm***
Zdeno Chara has taken the ice with teammates this morning and is wearing the tradiational black jersey that is worn by all defensemen. It seems as if he will be ready to go tomorrow night. Patrice Bergeron and Andrew Alberts were in the red non-contact uniforms. I am assuming that Manny Fernandez was in full uniform as well per the announcement yesterday.
