Player Discussion Patrice Bergeron III

[Mathews28]

One of the greatest lines every assembled was the Canada Cup

Marchand- Crosby - Bergeron

All are best friends off Ice and the chemistry was incredible

I know folks dislike Crosby but 63 & 37 don’t

That line was incredible.

Crosby was the best player on the ice consistently that tourney.

Huge fan of Crosby. I'd go back in time to sacrifice myself if that would've somehow made him a Bruin.

Starting at about the 4:20 mark they scored a couple beauties. Poor Halak

Crosby and Bergeron have to be two of the smartest, if not the smartest, players in the league. Bergeron even admitted that sometimes they start talking in French on the ice in case anyone is listening in.

The combination of Crosby playing for his country with two of his best friends elevated his play to another stratosphere where the all time greats reside

Such a special line, they were incredible to watch. Three of the best defensive players in the league, and unstoppable offensively. What a nightmare it must have been to play against them.

I have no problems with Crosby. His on-ice whining can sometimes get old, but he's a really exciting player to watch. So smart. Plus, him and Bergy/Marshy being so close means that they know how to shut him down... Win-win

Hockey fans have been robbed of not seeing these guys play together more. Bruins and Pens could've leant those three to The Wild for a season and I still would've been Yes! as watching that level of hockey for a full season probably would've trumped my Bruin fandom. Back to the World Juniors with Perry on the wing. These guys should've played together.

Saw Dan's post... but
Came on this thread to remind everyone how lucky we are. I remember him as the youngest player in the NHL and now he's the best 30+ veteran in the NHL.
He's one of very few players that actually played pre-Cap.

In addition to passing Bobby Orr for fifth place in career regular season points (man, Orr was ridiculous lol), Bergeron's goal Friday also gave him 1000 career points, regular season and playoffs combined.

Young Patrice !

Young Patrice !

The first two games of that series were awesome. Let's just pretend the rest of them didn't happen

Having a hell of a year. Vintage Bergy this afternoon.

He’s perfection

You just knew he was something special immediately. We have been blessed to watch him for many years.

Exactly. You knew after the 2nd exhibition game he was here to stay. I was at the game they told him he had made the team.

What impresses me most is how he had to re-invent his game after that terrible hit and subsequent concussion (he skated into Seidenberg's pads when he played for Carolina).

Truthfully, had that hit never happened, I don't think he would be the player he is today.

Crazy to think that if it wasn't for the concussions and lockouts, Bergeron would have had a legit shot at 500 goals before hanging them up. I guess he still does... if he can average 30 goals a year for the next 4 after this season. I wouldn't count him out.

Need to re-sign him as he’s up after next year

I can't even begin to fathom seeing him in another sweater. Provided he still wants to play, I can totally see him doing year by year deals like Chara at a team friendly number.

"Captain Perfection" - Razor on MorningBru.

I kind of like that a lot.

Which seems hypocritical cause Im not the biggest fan of "The Perfection Line" title of their line.

He literally is tho on and off the ice. Even if he makes a mistake on the ice he owns it and the next came he makes up for it.

Like when he stumbled on that OT goal when playing the Flyers to then respond the next game by getting a hat trick.

Yup. Not bad for a washed up player

My apologies if this was already posted, but I didn't see it anywhere else.

Pastrnak shares great story to explain Patrice Bergeron's leadership

Which wall in the hall of fame should Bergeron get?
