Let's start from
Welcome To Boston Patrice!
Playing for Canada
A True Champion. Our Champion.
Bergeron!! Bergeron!! There have been quite a few good calls in Bruins history, that one will stick around for a while...
My favorite all time Bruin. He's in some pretty good company, and you ask me, the best is yet to come from him. A W would make a good birthday present. Go B's!
Now that Vignault is behind the bench these games will probably be a little more exciting than they have been in the past haha
Wonderful tribute. And well-deservered. We're so lucky to have this guy.
My favorite Bergeron story comes courtesy of his mother (read this years ago, and it always stuck with me).
Patrice was about 5 years old when his parents got him into organized hockey. Just about the first thing he did when he got out on the ice was skate over to the goalie net and sit down inside it. When the coach suggested he might want to participate, he said "no, I'm good."
This continued for several sessions. Finally his parents said he didn't have to go if he didn't want to, and he said, "no, I like it." (He was always a very quiet, thoughtful little boy, his mom said.)
Then one day, instead of taking his usual spot in the net, he participated fully, and was one of the best players on the ice.
His mother said that's Patrice. He would always watch and learn, and when he thought he was ready, that's when he'd join in. Even at that age.
Now when I think of Bergy, I always picture a wide-eyed boy in a hockey net, quietly watching and learning.

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact they don't include playoff games in those stats?
I mean, the playoff games are much more important that the regular season games, so why leave them out?
Why is Bergy going to play his 600th game and not his 684th one?
Why did Eriksson "take away" Bart's first NHL goal? A guy who scored in a game 7 last season ...
It's confusing.
