In 2 decades of supporting the Bs, this has probably been my least favourite day - despite its increasing Inevitability.

A sad day for us on every level. For management - who lose an outstanding player that played, for a long time, on a very generous contract that didn’t reflect his true value. For the players - who lose an incredible player & a generational captain and leader. And for us, the fans - who lose one of the classiest, awe inspiring & loyal players to ever pull on the spoked B.

The regret of last season still weighs heavy and we all know this man deserved more than one Cup but for today, at least, I prefer to focus on all the good that this legend brought our club.

Thank you, Patrice Bergeron.

Some clown on Twitter said that he was the most overrated player ever.

You can ignore what the media and the fans say about a player. If you wanted to, you could even ignore what his teammates think about him.

But you can't ignore what his peers on the other teams think about him. They had to play against him every game for 19 years. They said he was the perfect hockey player.

Also, who was the RW on the no 1 line for Team Canada with Crosby for two Gold Medals?
Bergy is a winner through and through!! But the best part is that is an even better human being, he a class act all the way. He did everything the right way!

I am really saddened for us fans today, but happy for Bergy if this is what he truly wanted / needed.

I feel as though it would have been an easier pill to swallow had he indicated "hey, this will be my last season", then you can kind of brace for it.

His presence will be sorely missed.
