I was looking at the Bruins pro shop site and all the Bergeron jerseys have no letter.... No idea if they always show it that way or notI already have 3 Bergeron jerseys.... do I get a 4th or is that too much...

I believe if you go fully custom, you can type in everything you need. Name, number, letter etc.

My second favorite Bruin of all time. Dating back to the 60’s.
Second to Orr aint too shabby.

I can recall vividly the first time I ever saw Bergy play. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day where I couldn`t get the Cusick/Sanderson broadcast but the Don Cherry`s restaurant in my area did and I lived there on Bruin game nights. Watched what I thought was the skinniest kid in the game at that time and thought he was gonna get creamed every shift but that rookie season he showed things that simply teenagers didn`t show at that time unless they were the "can`t miss" kind of prospects. He showed an on ice maturity and hockey IQ that was easy to love if you appreciate the smaller details in the game as I do but to sit here, 17 or so years later, almost 900 pts later, we Bruin fans are both truly blessed and a bit spoiled, we`ve had some great one`s here and the last decade has been some of the most satisfying hockey this fan has seen. Captain Bergy!!!
While I certainly haven`t agreed with all decisions the current or former GM has made, this organization has literally given themselves a chance to be in the Cup conversation most years and as a fan, really all I could want other than winning more cups
We are seeing a changing of the guard over the next few seasons, our vets likely won`t have the impact they once did, let`s see what the front office has planned, I`ve often wondered if they have had a succession plan

All 3 of mine are different styles and I only bought one myself... reverse retro with the C on it might be needed. Maybe get it signed and frame it and hang that sucker on the wall.

That's the frustrating thing about 2 of my 37 sweaters... no letter. Those were not purchased by me.

The iron on letters are pretty cheap on eBay.
Picked up the A for Marchand and C’s for Brady and Garropolo for under $15 each.

That's my plan with it. I got an authentic Pastrnak two years ago that i'm planning on tossing into a frame when I get the new house this summer. I'll most likely do the same with the Bergeron for the man cave.

Love it. Yea I just bought my place in August. Haven't hung up anything on the wall yet haha... but slowly putting together the house/furnishing it. My "man cave/media room" downstairs would be where I put it as well.

To me the thing that stands out about Bergeron is his consistency. I'm not sure he's had a single season where he averaged over a point per game? Yet he's always right around that level.You know what to plan on every year in terms of points and his professionalism.

It wouldnt suprise me one bit if Bergy, the character he is, would decline captaincy to make place for the next wave of bruins players. He will be 36 in May and it didnt sound that he wants to keep going very long after his contract ends after next season.

I don't think he'll decline. I can't imagine Sweeney would use the word "obvious" if there hadn't already been discussion and a plan in place. If he declined, they would go with three A's, and Sweeney said there would be a captain. Nobody on the team is taking that over Bergeron.
Guys, please. Bergeron will be captain. There doesn't even need to be a discussion.
