Bergy's my current favorite player. I got to meet him in person at an autograph thing in Whitman in ?2012/2013? and he signed my cap and I got a photo with him, that unfortunately was lost forever due to some wine spilling onto my old laptop. Lost a lot of irreplaceable photos, including one with the Cup. Got an EHD after that.

Former Bruins defensive great Matt Bartkowski doing the children's hospital visit in a costume from Frozen. I am not sure which Frozen character it is, but it's the reindeer obviously. The fact that his antler is floppy was very on-brand for Bart.

This is our 2 year old Havanese named Selke. The place we board him in New Hampshire dressed him up last year for Halloween as a hot hog. But note the Bruins dog tag

We live in Boston and take him for walks up to Boston Common and then back down the Comm Ave Mall where everyone else walks their dogs. But when you tell people his name, they're like "Silky?", "Selfie?", "Sulky?", and then we found our about some Irish legend about a mermaid named Selke that I guess can go on land and seduce sailors. I'd say less than 5% of the people we run into know about the award and get it.

We thought we were unique with his name, but it ends up as a 5 minute conversation to tell them the meaning of his name. C'mon Boston!

Beric Dondarrion from "Game of Thrones" He was a noble, self-sacrificing person on a show where they were few and far between. I need to change it soon.

Considering the Bruins season ended as well as the last GOT season, fits well.

I like da Floyd.

There probably was a reason I chose the ‘Animals’ album whenever that was, but I don’t remember it.

My teen years ran right through the middle of his Bruins career, Rick always left everything out on the ice, a real Bruin to me, who doesn't get mentioned enough in the Bruins universe. He scored 40 or more goals 5 years straight.

Season 8 was a masterpiece. lol

GOT was my favorite show for most of it’s run!

The role I most prefer Neely in. And the one I most miss.

Been a fan for 50+ years. Bobby Orr was electric — even as a young kid I knew to glue my eyes to him when he came over the boards. Seeing him live was awe inspiring.

Totally different player but Cam Neely was a player you glued your eyes to when he came over the boards. Nasty, dominant, goal scoring, hitting machine with a bad surly temper.. Seeing Cam Neely play live was also awe inspiring. A true treat to witness.

Very very good human being as well.

Yes, not the greatest NHL Team President in the game, but he’s put more than enough capital in the bank for this fan.

That unforgettable time I got to touch the Stanley Cup. Wish I had more time to inspect it up close.

Homage to the Grateful Dead's Steal Your Face and I live in Maine. The name for me originally came from my hobby of putting V8 engines and 2 speed automatics in MGBs.

I googled “bruins dog” and this was my favorite result.

I actually have a golden now, so maybe I will recreate the real thing.

The doggo in your avatar is named Ray Charles...he's a blind golden retriever who once won America's Favorite Pet (or something similar on NBC iirc). His parents are big BRUINS fans and would dress him and his older brother Hawley Davidson in BRUINS colors.

Ray sadly passed away earlier this year from cancer at 9 yrs.....miss him much.....his page is still up on FB.....

Wow, I had no idea. Thank you for sharing

Just a hike with my two youngest. My previous pic was when my oldest joined the NHS. Everything in my life revolves around my wife and 4 daughters. That day at the park will be with me forever just like the hike at the same trail with there older sisters about 6 years earlier.

Hopefully this is okay to post - I regularly wind up curious about the nature of folks' avatars.

Would you, won't you, please consider explaining yours?

Mine is fairly straight forward - I live with a 200lb four legged Bruins fan who just happens to be the best pup on planet earth.

Go!

I want a video of you putting that sweater on Chibby....he is so handsome!!!

Jason Allison... my favorite player from a rather dark period of Boston Bruins hockey. Very smooth passer with great vision. Wheels? Not so much. Plus, we share a birthday.

I’m a big believer in freedom for all…walking it, not just talking it. Glad to see the Bruins and Mac make a showing of support. This organization has always had tremendous character.

Somebody stole my animated Quagmire after 10 years so I paid tribute to one of the most underrated goalies ever!!
