Player Discussion Patrice Bergeron III

[trenton1]

Time to make it official.

I understand waiting several days for Chara to head out the door, so to speak--and that's very important. But Chara's on the ice in Caps gear now.

Bergeron deserves to be captain for every day possible. Announce it now.

They may wait until the end of camp to do it and then they will also announce the 3rd A rotation which the players vote on

And there it is

And there it is

I doubt you'll find a captaincy appointment ever that is as unanimously accepted by the fanbase as Bergeron being named Captain of the Bruins. Usually there is always some sort of debate. Is he the right guy? Is he too young? Is he a leader or just the best player?

In this case there is zero debate. Bergeron is the right choice without question.

This should have happened years ago, in my opinion.

A real leader.

 

[Oates2Neely]

Top 5 all time Bruins captain.

I forgot Jason Allison at one point was captain. Wonder what he’s up to these days

 

[Scruffy]

Let's go. I want that Jersey with the C.

Full disclosure... this made me emotional. My favorite player ever... I don't think that will ever change. Watching him all these years has been an absolute pleasure. I can remember bawling my eyes out because I thought he would never play again or worse was dead after the Randy Jones incident. His comeback, which took some time has been inspiring to watch. To become one of the best two way players to EVER lace up his skates. Unbelievable player. Better person. Congrats Patrice!

Sadly, there are posters here that will complain that one of the younger guys should have gotten the C over Bergy.

As you said, there is zero debate that Bergy is Captain.

 

[Greek_physique]

Looks good on him! Happy to see Patrice wearing the'C'

 

[CharaBadSenyshynGawd]

I wonder if Par Lindholms name came into the fold at any point for the C...

Zero from me Ali.

I think they should put an A on Charlie though.

 

[VanIsle]

He ain't no Sprague Cleghorn but I will take it.
Way to go Patrice, a great leader and Captain of the Bruins.

Congratulations and well deserved!

I'd go with

Bergy - C
Krejci - A
McAvoy - A at home
Marchand A on the road

I like that Sarge.

 

[Sheppy]

God damn, I just love this so much.

 

[trenton1]

Beauty. Earned many times over. He would have been captain of at least 25 other NHL teams 10 years ago. We're blessed to go from Chara to Bergeron.

 

[roflstomper]

Can't believe Ritchie didn't get it.

 

[SPB2776]

You know, as much as we all despise Montreal, and with good reason, the province of Quebec has been pretty damned good to us. Bourque. Bergeron. Julien. And a bunch more in between.

I think we should all say merci plus beaucoup.

 

[HumBucker]

Where's the "Love this" button? "Like" just doesn't go far enough.

No surprise. No other choice. Congrats Patrice!

 

[Alicat]

Looks like Marchand is getting the 3rd A permanently.

Bergeron - C
Krejci - A
Marchand - A
