Former Bruins David Krejci announces retirement.

[Bradely]

This is 2023 summer I will remember for a long time because I lost two of my favorite in a couples of week only! I do think it was time for DK, while being a sad day. His body did not seem to follow last year, health issu.

One of the most underrated NHL of his generation, part of one of the best 1-2 center punch combo, and part of how successful the bruins were in the course of all past 15 years. Thank you DK.

Personnelle, I want his 46 to be raised in the rafters with 33 and 37!

I'm glad he came back to make it to 1000 games

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Extremely underrated. Wish management gave him consistent 2nd liners to play with so he didn’t take as much flak as he did.

Thank you David Krejci!

 

[Ladyfan]

Best of everything for your future. Don't be a stranger to Boston and the Bruins..

going to miss the Matrix. The line of Lucic - Krejci - Horton was one of the best Bruins lines ever for the combo of power and skill.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

The hits keep on coming this summer, not that they come as any great suprise. Thanks for all the great memories you have given us and enjoy your new life.

Enjoy retirement David! Thank you for being a true Boston Bruin. Will never forget his play in the 2011 run to win the Cup. Outstanding! We missed Savard then but he more than filled in With Milan annd Horton to lead an amazing line. Also if he doesn’t get hurt in 2010 vs Flyers (cheap shot!)…..I think the Bruins make the finals that year too. He was that important to them.

Hope everyone on here is having a nice summer so far!

Blessings for a great life. Enjoy your family.

That pass to Horton in Game 7 vs Tampa Bay for the GWG...vintage David Krejci.

 

[Fenway]

arguably one of the most underrated Bruins of all time.

 

[DKH]

His last game he was first star and wham - kind of like his career, always overshadowed but those that watched his entire career appreciate how special he was

He always reminded me of Fred Stanfield - two of my top 10 favorite Bruins on and off Ice

 

[BTO]

Thanks for everything David, especially for The Cup! All the best to you and your family. Truly is the end of an era now.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Well we all knew this day would be coming when him and Bergeron would both be leaving,he was great during the cup year probably would’ve been the MVP if not for Timmy’s great run.It’s to bad the Bruins couldn’t have won more cups before they both left.

 

[Alicat]

The side of Krejci that rarely came out but when it did, it was hilarious and awesome.

 

[EverettMike]

Can we just rerun the thread from two years ago when he retired so everyone can take an HF holiday from feeling emotions?

 

[Terrier]

Thank you, David, for a great career with the Bruins. A fascinating player, IMO.

 

[BMC]

DK was a hockey ninja- quiet, stealthy & lethal.

Damn it all someone pass me some kleenex. Mondays suck but this one especially sucks. I admit it, this has hit me very hard.

 

[b in vancouver]

Going to miss him.
I was holding onto faint hope he'd return.

So DK like to wait until after all the Bergy attention and then quietly announce his retirement.

He has been my favorite player since I met him at a 2008 fan event ...to watch him mature as a player and a person has been special. His numbers - what are impressive - don't reflect the number of years where he played with less than top tier wingers.

Understated, classy and clutch.

I have his game - worn Marathon jersey which will be on my back when his number goes into the rafters.

33-37-46 - that's a lot of talent and leadership to lose - lucky for us we had them for so long

 

[HumBucker]

Another sad goodbye. Thank you DK46! Enjoy your retirement.

 

[Gordoff]

We knew it was coming but it's here and it's an empty feeling. Best of luck, health, and happiness to you DK. You'll always be a Bruin.
