One telling stat to look for by mid-season will be his penalty minutes. Pronger saw a lot of elbowing penalties last year, but that didn't thwart him. If Chara really starts standing people up on the blue line he'll have a lot of elbowing penalties too, and that will be a good thing!

Chara played relatively subdued last year, perhaps due to Lewis' coaching style. I'm hoping that yesterday's performance is going to be indicative of a more aggressive Chara this year. Agreed.
