Toronto, with "Bergeron! Bergeron! Bergeron!" playing on the big screen
Or Montreal, with a picture of Cory Urquhart hanging behind the visitor bench
Oh, the possibilities

Some pretty special words from David Krejci

It's amazing how close they are, considering that they were both essentially #1 centers on the same team
Bergy will always be my favorite but Krejci is not far behind
I'm going to go cry again lol

Bergeron retires:
84th all-time in regular season goals (427);
79th all-time in regular season points (1040);
70th in total regular season games played - 16th in total games played with a single franchise (1294);
and, in a wild coincidence:
50th all-time in playoff points, tied with Brad Marchand and David Krejci with 128.
And only Gretzky (9XHart, 10XArt Ross), Plante (7XVezina), Orr (8XNorris), Harvey and Lidstrom (7XNorris each) have won an individual award more times than he has won the Selke (6), tied with Howe (6XHart, 6XArt Ross), Lemieux (6XArt Ross), Durnan and Hasek (6XVezina each). Not counting nor checking Lady Byng.

Somewhat off topic question still pertaining to Bergy - is there any place that still sells Bergy Reverse Retro jerseys or were those limited time?

Just a random thoughts while of course not being able to shake the news from my mind.
With how well known it is as to how inclusive and caring Bergy is, it would be cool to see him take a role similar to The Chiefs old role of director of road services. Or something where he remains engaged with the individual players and making sure they’re taken care of/in a good place. I remember Chief was (and probably still is) very good about that with new acquisitions. Bergy probably doesn’t wanna travel as much though with young kids at home!
Also, who’s getting passed the baton of Patrice’s pals? When I was younger it was PJs pals then bergy took it on.

Always cool to hear a past teammate talk about someone like Bergeron.
Great interview. I remember Andrew and Bergy were / are friends

I think he ends up the President of a team in Quebec City at some point, TBH. I think Chara is the guy here.

Wearing my Bergeron tshirt while traveling today.
Glad that his family is staying in the Boston area for this next year. He’ll get a chance to see how everyday life is and I’m sure he’ll come around a few times to say hi to the guys and do something for the 100th Anniversary.

Crazy but at the Bruins carnival my kid won a Bergeron signed jersey and at the team cookout we not only won another Bergeron jersey but he took us over just me and my kid who was around 8 and signed it and chatted her up- it was a different era they weren’t popular had a low season ticket base and he was kind of flowing around talking and taking pictures, signing autographs
It’s like he was at a wedding going table to table at ease and interested in everyone and thanked them for coming
I’ll dig them both out when they retire his number
I still can't get over the fact that it is over for my favorite player of all time in all sports.
I am happy for Patrice and his family, but it doesn't remove the sadness. It's super weird.

Leaf fan here. I hate your team and I hope the feeling is mutual. I do respect the player though. Great player, first ballot HOFer. Let the rivalry continue.
