z-chara board hit
(N.B: this definition, with no offense meant to Zdeno Chara of The Boston Bruins or anyone else on The Boston Bruins organization, is named after Zdeno Chara's now infamous (among Montreal Canadiens fans at least) hit on Max Pacioretty during the 2010-2011 NHL season).
in the NHL, a type of boarding hit-at an angle of course-the point of which is to injure a player of the opposing team.

NHL fan forum post: Shame on you, dear Mr Gary Bettman for not having suspended Zdeno Chara for more games after his infamous z-chara board hit on Max Pacioretty.
reply to post: asking yourself the question of whether or not Zdeno Chara intentionally injured Max Pacioretty is meaningless. Whether intentional or not, a z-chara board hit, IMHO, is supposed to be banned in the NHL; an NHL game is not some kind of modern Roman gladiator spectacle where injuring, maiming, and even sometimes killing, one's opponents was permitted.
