Former Bruins Patrice Bergeron - elected to HOCKEY HALL of FAME

[Alicat]

Actually, Rinne has 61 more wins than Rask.

His save percentage and gaa are better as are his post season stats. Tuukka also won a cup and went to the finals 2 other times. Rinne has no cups and 1 Finals series. Also, Tuukka put up solid numbers when he backed up Thomas and ultimately took the starting job from him.

Bottom line is their stats are incredibly close and if Rinne is getting in then Tuukka should also be in.

For the record, Eddie Shore is the greatest Bruin in history.

Old Time Hockey!

<<Lapointe felt an immediate connection with Bergeron. A native Quebecois himself, Lapointe acknowledged he had a bad experience during his first training camp in Detroit. A veteran Red Wings player, also from Quebec, refused to help Lapointe acclimate.>>

Always wondered who Lapointe was speaking of. Vincent Riendeau, Bobby Dollas, Yves Racine, were only Quebec-born players on that team. Anyway . . .

HOF and the rafters are whole-heartedly deserved in the next year.

A hard-working player, and team mate, and thinker who got "it" . . . and by all accounts, the epitome of dignity and class and in a world often devoid of even a semblance of those characteristics . . .I dare say role model.

Thank you Mr. Bergeron!

Bergy also gives a lot of credit to Glenn Murray for helping him as a young player.

Lapointe's contract was well worth it imo.

I wondered that myself.

Thank you Mr. Bergeron!

My all-time favorite Bruin!

Crediting Tuukka with a Cup in his HOF argument is more than a bit disingenuous.

Anyway... congrats to Bergeron!

Indeed. I love Taz, but at least Bergeron, Marchand and Krejci won a Cup.

And were much better hockey players.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Better numbers statistically than Rinne

And Rinne better numbers than Price.

But was Rinne better?

 

[Bruinaura]

Sorry, I shouldn't have derailed Bergy's thread by mentioning Rinne. Please move the goalie discussion to the NHL thread. Let's leave this one for appreciation of Bergy, as it should be.

 

[Primary Assist]

This guy TERRORIZED the Leafs for years. Congratulations on an extremely well deserved induction. One of the most complete players we will ever see and a total class act. A role model if I have ever seen one

 

[The don godfather]

Hurry up NHL head offices and change the name of the selke trophy to Bergeron trophy.

 

[Mione134]

Well deserved. Never in doubt!

Congrats Bergy

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

After Bergeron was concussed when he was just 22, I never thought he'd be the same.

Even when he was 31, I never thought he get into the Hall of Fame.

And now he gets in in his first year of eligibility.

Well deserved.

Bergeron crucial 1st goal game 7 nucks was the pivotal point to getting that cup. Many thanks Bergy.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Wow that brought back some Bruins memories growing up right there, got a few tears watching.

 

[Bruinaura]

There is going to be a lot of blubbering in the garden when his number goes up lol

Cup winning goal! First - and to date only - one since Orr in ‘72.

 

[Bruinaura]

Their PK was usually more fun than a Bruins power play lol

 

[quietbruinfan]

Congrats to Bergy, who might be the best second line center ever. He did it all with dignity, empathy, and class as well. It is well deserved.
