Player Discussion Patrice Bergeron II

[Rubber Biscuit]

He finished 5th on Hart voting in 13/14 with 62 points. I think if he can finish around 80 points he’ll have a really good shot

 

[Bruinaura]

Anyone who thinks Bergeron shouldn't win the Selke this year needs to watch this game tonight.

We are simply spoiled having Bergeron on this team.

Seriously. What more can you say about this guy? Does he have any flaws?

And to think, his career was pretty much over 10 years ago

He just keeps impressing. His game really is incredible and seems to get better. Also one of the most likable and respected players in the NHL on top of it. Nothing all of us don't know already but damn is it great to have him on the team.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Milestone alert: he is 6 goals away from tying Ken Hodge for 6th all time in goals for the franchise (283 vs 289). He will tie that @ the 30 goals mark (in the season).

He should win the Hart and Selke this year

There's also a good chance he's a better defenseman than whoever winds up with the Norris

yeah, 100% is a pretty good chance

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this is kinda crazy.

Game management, the bruins lead a lot of games by large scores, ref completely put away the whistles.

It's basically what I find most annoy about the NHL, they ref based on the score of the game and who had the last powerplay.

 

[DatSnipeMatthews]

Leafs fan here. Simply put, Bergeron is arguably the best C in the world right now. The guy is a bonafide genius out there. He deserves the hart trophy this year.

I think the fact that he doesn't hold on to the puck for a lot of time, for the most part probably effects that as well. Then again, he does a lot of work in the corners which is where a lot of penalties occur.

The Kings mascot is essentially chirping Bergeron.

Why.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

The Kings mascot is essentially chirping Bergeron.

Why.

Because there are still many people who are completely deluded and think Kopitar has been robbed of Selke wins by Bergeron. They don't even belong in the same discussion

 

[Bruinaura]

I do have one reservation about GWGs though. Say a goal is scored to make it 5-0, and then the other team scores four goals. To me, that GWG scored under essentially no pressure is different than one scored that breaks a tie. I dunno, maybe it's just semantics.

 

[missingchicklet]

Don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to look at that and know something isn't right. If he avoided contact, traffic, and the corners then I would still think that number is bat crap insane. Thing is, Bergy is constantly in the mix of things. I've lost count of how many times he has been held without a call, taken a high stick, and been tripped. It's literally in the dozens this season. This number is absolutely disgraceful for the NHL. A player so dominant and involved in play who gets shafted night in and night out so absurdly is a black eye to the refs and the league.

I just wanted to point out that Patrice Bergeron is on pace for 40 goals right now. 27/55*82=40.254.

I don't think he will end up scoring 40, but for a player that has always been considered one of the best 2 way centers of all time, this is a new level on display. I wonder if he will ever be as respected as Yzerman? In your eyes is he already there? If he ended up with 1200 points would he be in a category with Yzerman and Messier eventhough he is 500+ points shy of there offensive numbers?

 

[zaYG]

This is looking like a career year for Bergy. I wonder if a quick look at the stats 20 years from now will show just how dominant he has been, even in comparison to his previous seasons. We are lucky to get to watch this guy play every night at this level.

Well he's going to the HOF, so he's gonna be on a short list to begin with.

Definitely going to the Hall of Fame. My eyes tell me he is in the category of Yzerman and Messier, the numbers seem to be telling me that I am an extreme homer. I was hoping someone would convince me that the inflated numbers of the past could directly account for the discrepancy in total points.

 

[JRull86]

The Kings mascot is essentially chirping Bergeron.

Why.

Because they are convinced Kopitar has been the better player, and Bergeron has robbed him of Selkes.

What's funny, the year he finally won was arguably his worst year.

 

[22Brad Park]

N H L must be some upset with Bergeron in the way of their little darlings for HART

 

[Don Cherry]

Well, in fairness, there are 30 players in the league with more points than Bergeron.
