Bergy was here a long time and the only memory I recall was him falling on his face taking a slap shot.

He scored the first Blues goal in the Winter Classic at Busch.

I remember (was it Karyia?) saying he would be a star in the league when he had a great game as a rookie, maybe 2 goals or something. It never really materialized, but he was sure good at possessing the puck through contact. The coaching then had something to do with it, but converting possession into scoring chances was always a bit of a let down.

In his first season, Bergy had 15 goals or so at Christmas time. He seemed likely to be a thirty goal rookie. But Bergy finished with 21 goals.

He wasnt a good skater and he wasnt physical. Hitch eventually made a winger out of him.

Along with the famous Husso stare this clip should forever live on in HFBlues history!

Go watch games from that era. He didn't play a power forward drive-to-the-net game, but he was physical. Finished his hits and battled on the forecheck. I recently watched several games from Berglund's tenure, and things are different when you see them with fresh eyes.

Bergy became more engaged as he got older. In mid career, he would go four game in a row without registering a hit. I used to go to the game stats and look up bergy's.
