Former Bruins Patrice Bergeron II RETIRES (post 430)

[BMC]

Leaf fan here. I hate your team and I hope the feeling is mutual. I do respect the player though. Great player, first ballot HOFer. Let the rivalry continue.

Trust me it is mutual. Thanks for stopping by, now get the **** out of here

 

[BMC]

& Savard also

Yes although his impact ended up being less because he was forced to retire after those concussions.

 

[Ladyfan]

WOW...There is a Leaf's fan on the main board so very concerned about the Bs future. I would think he would have enough on his own plate worrying about his own team. He is loving thinking the Bs will completely suck now.

I am not sure what the Bs will end up looking like but would still rather be a Bs fan.

Toronto Maple Leafs last won a Stanley Cup 5 in 1967.

It will be like the chocolate without the peanut butter this year.

He's my favorite Bruin of all time which is really saying something and it's just hard to see him go when he's still more than capable. But that's what he wants and he knows best.

Thanks Bergy.

We the NHL ever see two forwards again who played almost exclusively on a line with each other the way and duration that we saw with Bergeron and Marchand? To play 99% of your time over the course of 13 seasons essentially with the same line-mate?

I'm not sure you will ever see that again in the NHL with the way player movement is today.

I love that all star picture of them. Not often you saw Bergy smile like that during a shift lol

We're on page #37 right now. Shut it down!

Look who else just decided to show up at Bergy's last charity game

Unpopular opinion, but I think Lucic should be the next captain for the Bruins. As good of a player Marchand is, he isn't captain material. If not them, I say McAvoy and only McAvoy.

A guy that may only be here for 1 year?
A guy that hasn't been part of the team for years?

Makes no sense.

I remember being in Montreal during the 2005 WJC during the lockout where Bergeron was the clear best player on an absolutely dominant, loaded Canadian team and chatting with Habs fans in a bar about how great he was. Time sure does fly. Sucks so bad he didn’t go out hoisting the cup but I’ll cherish all the great memories from 37.

Mac is not ready to wear the "C". It would stunt his growth and wouldn't be good for anyone. Give him a couple of years to develop his leadership.

I love Looch but Brad is the best choice as he is already a huge leader on the Bs.

If I was in that locker room, 63 is my next captain!

McAvoy is entering his 8th season with the Bruins and is turning 26yo in December, I don't buy the 'he's not ready yet' argument.

For the "C" I mean.

IMO he is not ready, and Brad is the clear leader on the team.

Idk, seems like Mac already knows, recall what he said on the Bergy retirement? 1:52 mark.

I guess we will see.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Really thought he’d come back to captain the centennial season.
Heck of a career, was a treat to watch him play the past 19 seasons.

Dudes my man crush haha

Enjoy retirement, thanks for the memories Bergy
