I don't think Hakstol makes it through that new contract.

I feel like the Kraken gonna be good still.

I have a feeling Detroit will surprise this year.

I don’t think so with that center depth but I could be wrong.

I'm probably wrong.

They have decent center depth, added a big winger in Cat and continue to add defensive depth.

We should trade them Granlund or JC

Enjoy the retirement, well deserved.


The Bruins center depth sure is non existent now.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Six Selke trophies is ridiculous. That's six more than Jordan Staal!

Glad he retired. Huge pain in the ass to play against. As an opposing fan that's about as high a compliment as I can give him.

I think the biggest compliment that I can offer Bergeron is that for a guy that lived in Boston for 20 years…I do not hate him.

Yeah. I really, really hate the Bruins so the fact that I can respect Bergeron is a borderline miracle.

Oh and it's pretty awesome that he's is a one-team player. Adds another layer to his legacy.

Ahem.

I was just referring to Boston citizens in general.

Well yeah that too.

I feel like "citizens" is almost being too kind, somehow.

Bruins fans' last memory of Bergeron is him crying on the ice while their team choked away a historical season. I like Bergeron, but that's just beautiful and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving fanbase.

As mentioned above, I think maybe the most likeable (and maybe ONLY) athlete to play for that city. A bit surprised honestly. What a player.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Bergeron being respectable despite spending his entire career in Boston is nothing short of amazing.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Bergeron being respectable despite spending his entire career in Boston is nothing short of amazing.

Probably because he was fantastic next to Sid during international tournaments.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Ray Bourque was cool. But he and Bergeron are about the entirety of the list.

I just looked at the Bruins' center depth for next season and I now feel like this post was too harsh. Sending them my thoughts and prayers.

That whole generation of team Canada players basically didn't lose. It's quite impressive.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

NHL's gotta sort its shit out regarding the Olympics. The fact that we never got to see a Canadian team with Crosby, Bergeron and McDavid is criminal. Hell, we might not get to see a Canadian team with Crosby and McDavid.

 

[Turin]

Pretty rare to see athletes go out at such a high level. He never really dipped at all after his sophomore season, just the model of consistency.

Guess he was tired of talking about Kyle Beach.
