There is a big shindig in the Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame to celebrate. Slava Kozlov is the keynote speaker.

Hilarious.

Honestly though for a moment, I hope he's okay and continues to lead the life he wants to lead. It takes something to stand up, say that something in one's life is not working, and strike one's own path.

Lol.

Live, Love, Repeat. Ciao Bergs.

He's the most honest and decent person I've come across in sports in a long time.

I can no longer distinguish between what is or is not serious in your posts.

He's the anti-disgruntled employee. There should be an award named after him. Every human resources textbook should have a Berglund chapter.

He is extremely gruntled.

What is Krueger doing there?

 

[Howie Hodge]

I volunteer to give Berglund's Birthday Cake the Ron Swoboda treatment!



The reference is spelled out in Sparky Lyle's book, btw....

His retirement gave Sabres the cap room to offer Skinner $10m, big picture blessing. Wish Moulson had shown such selflessness.

It's not!?

What kind of compensation do the Sabres get if he comes back to the NHL?

Hey everyone, tell me again that story about how Berglund “retired” because he was having some kind of personal mental health crisis, and not at all because he just hated being in Buffalo and wanted to find a way to go play for a different team.

That was a good story.

He's had mental health issues, that is not made up. Did being forced out of his only NHL team and ending up in Buffalo worsen them?

Without a doubt.

Without a doubt.

It is somewhat remarkable though that these mental health issues only seem to prevent players (Berglund, Lehner, etc) from playing well and being successful in Buffalo. But not in other cities.

Lehner was an alcoholic mano-depressive who finally got real help when he left Buffalo.

Perhaps this franchise could step up and do more to help those in need, instead of running them out of town and then criticizing them.

Getting out of his contract is the compensation we got.

Did he ever actually retire? Or did he just say he was stepping away from his contract with Buffalo to find the right situation for himself?

Evidently the "right situation" is playing for a team other than the Buffalo Sabres.

Mental health is seriously not something to be made light of.
