Player Discussion Patrice Bergeron

[MAINE-IAC]

I don't know what this means.

Nobody does or gives a sh*t for that matter

 

[JCRO]

That long tearful hug with Marchy followed up with the stick wave and kiss to the crowd was his goodbye if you ask me.

Thanks to the classiest Bruin I’ve ever seen play live. No disrespect to Big Z or #4.

Proud to have been a fan of his.

I think so too.

And I hate hate hate it.

Not like this man.

 

[BruinDust]

Makes me sick that his career might end like this.

 

[Mad Dr Pepper]

I think so too.

And I hate hate hate it.

Not like this man.

If they are so sad, why won't they play like they freaking care?

Bergy is my favorite player but he's been a non factor this series.

F*ck I hate writing those words.

 

[Midship]

Great person off the ice by all accounts, but one of the most overrated athletes in my lifetime and a playoff choker of epic proportions.

It's very clear Bergy was hurt.

I hate it ended like this

[13Hockey]

He was bad tonight probably the worst forward on the ice

Just a horrible way to end a career

Thank u for everything though I love you Bergeron

37 forever

They are crying because they knew they ruined an opportunity at a cup by playing in Montreal because bergy and the boys wanted to play for personal reasons.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Put himself before the team. Should have stayed home and we win this series in 5 games.

 

[chrisab123]

Great career but its time.

Don't write them!

?

 

[Bradely]

One of the best defensive forwards of all time, and almost probably the most overrated "locker room leader" of all time.

Enjoy retirement Patrice. Please don't come back.

This belongs to the players to decide. Sit on it!!!

2023 Bruins = Biggest choke job in hockey history
2010 Bruins = Second biggest choke job in hockey history

QED

Stay stuck where you want, 2010 or 2023! Don't care

[CDJ]

Played through a herniated disc in his back

 

[UncleRico]

Played through a herniated disc in his back

An injury caused by him wanting to play the meaningless 82nd regular season game for personal reason.

 

[trenton1]

Bergeron is one of the main reasons you expect something out of the Bruins that so many fans of other teams don't even expect from their team. If he was the failure that some are trying to sell, there would be nothing to be so violently let-down about.

 

[GordonHowe]

Was that Patrice Bergeron’s last game? If so, Game 7 is a heartbreaking loss in more ways than one. - The Boston Globe

This might be it for the 37-year-old captain, who deserved a far better ending than a first-round exit.

[DaStinger]

Don't think Bergy's done. After he signed I got the impression we would be back next year as well. Time will tell.

Again, everyone is pissed and looking to affix blame.

It cannot be denied that Bergeron's injury and subsequent absence from much of the series had a major, detrimental effect on the Bruins and their opportunity to advance to R2.

To assert, as some have, that the entire collapse rests on Bergeron's shoulders is, of course, nonsense.

Was it a mistake to play the MTL game for "personal," sentimental reasons? Unfortunately, that appears to be the case.

However, if anyone knows anything at all about Patrice Bergeron, they know that he is demonstrably one of the most selfless, thoughtful and caring people on the planet.

Mr. Perfect is not perfect.

Who is?

 

[BruinDust]

Don't blame Bergeron.

Blame management for thinking that you could win using 37-year old centers like they were still 25.

Blame coaches for using 37-year centers like they were still 25.

Boston found out in this series what Pittsburgh learned a couple weeks ago. The golden era of those 2003-2006 drafts is over.

 

[Over the volcano]

Remember getting in an arguemnet with a bartender at the Sligo who said they'd never win with with a goalie as old as Thomas. He also thought Chara didn't have it in him as captain.
