Bergeron at 1000

He seemed to get pretty choked up talking about how Lapointe took him in when he was just a young kid. Great interview.

 

[Flannelman]

Tip of the iceberg. I could have watched three hour program.

Man...every time I look at people post in this thread, people who have been here a long time, I’m surprised by how many joined after Bergeron got here.

So few of us still here from that time period.

I've only followed his career since 2013 That's why I wish there were more clips of his earlier years on YouTube.

It's a shame the old threads on these boards disappeared when we moved to this new format.

It is a shame.

During the lockout one night NHL Network or something was playing the movie “Youngblood” and someone set up a Game Day Thread for the movie and we treated it as such....commenting on the movie like it was a game.
Lol.

So many old posters that have come and gone too.

How/why is he suddenly somehow linked to Ray Bourque?

In what regard?

In the show tonight he talked about meeting Ray and asking for an autographed jersey.

Watching this brings back so many memories.

The night Jones concussed him, my wife and I were celebrating our 10th anniversary at The Christmas Farm Inn, in Jackson NH. We watched the Sox win the WS that night and I recorded the Bruins and watched it Sunday when we got home. I avoided seeing the B’s score or hearing anything about the game and then saw it Sunday night,

I also remember being on here during Patrice’s first camp....a bunch of us....Neelynugs for sure, I think DKH among others who saw him live kept posting about how good he looked and as the camp progressed we were certain he’d stick, but so many here (Jefff From Maine, most prominent) told us we were crazy. he stuck and it’s been a lightning fast 15 years. My kids went from diapers to high school in a flash.

I suggest the lobster risotto at the Christmas Farm Inn. The Stonehust Manor in nearby North Conway is also excellent.

What happened to Jeff from Maine? Later............

I dunno. I was half watching but I thought they were suggesting that Ray was like a mentor to him or something? Guess not.

Lol,

Jeff just faded away, I think.


Never been to the stone dust.

We like Horsefeathers (touristy, I know) and the Black Cap Grill...I think that’s it.

It’s kind of new, I think.

He moved to Idaho

I think it was just that they’re linked by being from Quebec and then the autographed shirt angle.

Major tourist traps but none is more so than "The Muddy Moose".

How/why is he suddenly somehow linked to Ray Bourque?

Is that a serious question?

Both French Canadians kids.
Both quiet and humble leaders. Lead by example. All class.
Both all around great players. Very few weakness.
Both 1 of 5 to play 1000 games with Bruins.
Bergeron 37 will hang in rafters next to Bourques, probably just before his HOF induction?

I can’t think of any Bruins leaders or players that are more similar.

I live with picky eaters.
Lol.

Basic is good for them and my sanity, if not my palate.

I get the comparison thing. They were from different eras and never played together so I thought it seemed odd to link them together. As I said, I was only semi paying attention to it. I had tuned in hoping to see a 24 hour Charlie Moore marathon and was disappointed where there wasn't one.

Interesting, so why aren’t you posting on the Charlie Moore boards?

I had no idea he had a board. Guess I'll go check it out. Has Patrice ever fished with him?

He sure has. Bourque has too!

I wonder if there's any chance it could be shown on NHL network? I know they show Behind the B but that's not a NESN show.

Broken into 4 parts - just let the playlist roll

I was following the Bruins before Bergy got here, just took me a long time to find this place.

I wish some would return.
