Speculation: Will you treat this as the 37-46 farewell tour?

[chizzler]

I have no idea if it is their last but intend to enjoy watching them play.

Yeah, who knows right. Things change. At least they’re in a better place than last week. Lol

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

This needs to be the last tour.

They've been given a lot of chances.

I'm happy to watch them ride into the sunset, maybe they'll defy odds and bring the cup home again. My heart says they can do it, but my head is a bit torn.

But organizationally, they really NEED to move forward at some point.

We can't be having these "will they or won't be" charades every off season.

That said, yes I'm happy for them, and will make it a point to go to one last in person game this season, but I also do not want to be saying, "ok one more last try" again next off season.

 

[JerseyBruin]

I thought just the opposite. Bergy had a great season (and won yet another Selke)

Bergy with his great defensive play and face off skills would slot in very nicely as a 2nd line Center in 2024 if he wants to continue to play.

 

[Bradely]

One thing sure, they are closer to their last year than to a decade!!! I will go and appreciate every moment considering this might be their last NHL journey!.

Why not? If they play well why wouldn’t we want them back?

No idea. Both players are competitors. Not easy to walk away from that, especially if they are still playing great hockey and feeling healthy. Can't ignore the tight-knit bonds these guys share with their teammates either. Hard to walk away from that as well. Wouldn't be shocked to see them come back for 2023-24. Also wouldn't be shocked to see one or both retire after this season. I do know one thing for certain -- I will be rooting wicked hard for this group to win the Cup. Might be a while before the Bs have a roster as good as the one for 2022-23.

 

[JRull86]

For Krejci, yes.

Barring health, I have a feeling Bergeron gives it one more go next year for season #20.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

They'll both be back to defend the Cup.

 

[Otherworld]

We really do not knwo how spoiled we've been.

We are about to find out very soon .......

 

[HumBucker]

No, but I think I will try to get to Boston to see a game this season all the same, hopefully once Marchand and McAvoy are back. I've never seen them play in the Bergeron era.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Yes because I’m going to savor every moment and go in thinking this so I don’t get my heartbroken and expect it to end. I also think if they win a cup they definitely retire, and that is exactly what I want.

 

[Ladyfan]

Please let me know if you come! I would love to say hello

 

[everett rats]

I live in Ontario and will be attending both games in Ottawa with the assumption it will be their last. What do you think? It feels like neither player would announce it during the year to create a distraction for the team.

Should we assume we have to say goodbye now?

No they will definitely come back again next season

 

[Troublesome 85]

Both. Safe to say its their last year.

 

[WestCoastBruinsFan]

I voted that they will both return for one more year. It is really hard to say and I was a little surprised that it seemed to take Bergy so long to decide. Having said that, you have to treat this year like it will be their last.

 

[Mathews28]

Who knows, other than them of course. Their return this year could have easily been discussed before krejci even left for Czech, just like they talk about their families, their dogs, their favorite cities, food and beer, who the biggest ahole in the NHL is, what refs are the worst,

Fans and the media often like to think they know or aren't hesitant to put forth their theories as if they do know...but they usually don't know jack sh*t.

Is anyone here who voted that both will retire running out to buy B's-Caps tix for 4/11/23 in case they don't make the playoffs?

 

[dangermike]

Why not? If they play well why wouldn’t we want them back?

not to mention we need to bridge this era to the next one. whats a better bridge than ...just continuing this era if bergeron wins 2-8 more selkes and krejci looks good?

I think he made his decision a while ago

Will do LF. Would be nice to connect with some HF-ers if I do. I guess Buffalo and Ottawa are also possibilities (my gf's daughter has a place in Ottawa), but it'd be great to catch a game at the Garden. Damn near impossible to get tickets when they're in town to play the Leafs.

My daughter and I are thinking of going to a game in Montreal in April.

Probably will drive there. I have been to Montreal twice but not to a game.

@DKH is at many of the games in Boston too.

 

[Oates2Neely]

I watched Bourque’s last game in Montreal as a Bruin. We did a tour and watched the B’s practice.. I have pics of Bourque skating over the Habs logo at center ice. Amazing experience all around

My 13 yr old daughter has been bugging me for 24 hours for Bruins tix this season since she heard Bergeron and Krejci signed. I’ve taken her to games since she was 3 she loves it. Her favorite moment was randomly meeting Terry O’Reilly & his wife on an elevator after a game. She was a big Lucic fan so of course I discussed O’Reilly & Neely who were THE power forwards here long before Lucic. O’Reilly was great he even posed with us for pics

She is a good one! Looch is also a favorite of mine. Maybe bring her to a game when Looch is in town...unless he is playing for the Bs , then any game!

I mean... sure. But eventually, we gotta move on. Bergeron and Krejci have talked about retirement and even this season was up in the air. Eventually, I'd like to start planning for the next core.
