Halak Comments On Joining Bruins And Country Mate Chara.

"Every time we play on a national team, I really get along with him," Halak said. "Obviously, he achieved a lot playing for Boston, being the captain for a long time and well known there. I think he is a great guy and a really good friend."

"It was always intense every time we played Boston. I think it was really intense, the intensity on the ice, in the stands the fans were always involved. No matter where the game was, whether it was in Montreal or Boston, it was always loud in the buildings," said Halak.

"I'll try to help out any way I can," Halak said yesterday. "I'll try to fit in as soon as possible. We'll see what happens. I'm 33, I know Tuukka is a little younger than me (31). I'm just looking forward to being with him. I know he's an elite goalie and he proved that every year. Every time I get the chance, I'll try to help out and we'll see what happens."
