You Can Play - Team Captains: Zdeno Chara and Jason Pominville - Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres

Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara and Buffalo Sabres captain Jason Pominville speak up for the You Can Play Project, promoting respect for all athletes. Filmed during the 2012 NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa.

Slovakian Chara is the tallest NHL player ever, at 6'9", speaks seven languages and has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Pominville is a native of Repentigny, Quebec and has dual American-Canadian citizenship, and is a Lady Byng Memorial Trophy nominee (most gentlemanly player).

Nah. They should start their own faggot country, then they can be as "better" as they want to, far away from us. hahaha

[burt baker]

people like you seriously have nothing to do but comment bad things on youtube. dont even reply to this because it would do the world a favor. if you got ran over by a fucking elephant right now, than the world might be a better place. you seem like the person that everybody wants to kill and you most likely have no friends. you should seriously consider changing your life. by the way all humans are fucking up the earth end of story, it's a mistake for us to even be here you "mutant"

They're still better then you, even if they're gay.

[yard1sale1dale]

ROFL. You should start a faggot league, then. No players are saints to me. If the "greatest player in NHL history was gay" I'd say, looks like a top pick for your faggot league. You talking about "class" is a joke. You are anti-American, anti-family, and destructive.

You're truly sad. A lot of fans still act like old 99's s**t doesn't stink. What would you do if he came out as gay? Would you still be ranting about - homos starting their own league - or would it suddenly be a-ok 'cos it's Saint Wayne? If one of the greatest players in NHL history, like Mario Lemieux or Jaromir Jagr came out as gay, would that somehow make their considerable achievements meaningless; their talent less impressive? One things for sure. They've got more class than you do.

[yard1sale1dale]

Why don't you homos start a league of your own (guess it would have to be "coed" for all you undeterminable mutants) instead of trying to fuck up things for normal people?

[yard1sale1dale]

Dual citizens should all be revoked and deported.

I like the Orpik one better. Just because he has the crazy eyes.

Chara is such an inspiration! Not only does he prove that it doesn't matter what size you are you can do whatever you set your mind to. He's also caring about things that matter!
