Friendship means sharing in another's success, even if it that success comes at your expense.
That's what Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins and Marian Gaborik of the Los Angeles Kings did Friday, posing with friend and countryman Marian Hossa as he toured around their native Slovakia celebrating the Chicago Blackhawks' latest Stanley Cup victory.
All three players have won the Cup in recent years, likely taking some of the sting out of not being able to carry it around this summer for Chara and Gaborik, neither of whom saw playoff action this season.
