Thanks Fenway.

He looks so relaxed and at peace. He made the right decision. It's hard to get used to a post-Bergeron Bruins world, but the man deserves to enjoy the rest of his life now. He's given us everything, and given a lot to the game. Glad he can step away with no regrets. Thank you Patrice.

He epitimizes the word "professional". On and off the ice.

Despite his long tenure and attachment to the organization, I didn't sense any nostalgia from him and zero regrets. Fully at peace and doesn't seem as though anyone was going to influence his decision.

Hope they find a spot for him in the organization at some point.

Oozing machismo right there

The man is simply an incredible human. No response to any question was anything but thoughtful, caring that he truly answered the question asked, respectful/professional/classy.

We’ve been so blessed.

Just watched it on my DVR, agree complete agree. I didn’t even cry, he was composed and genuine…perfect Patrice forever

I think it was great that they honored his wishes to have it be no frills, no big to-do. He knows it will be unavoidable when they retire his number lol.

Boy, sure looked like he and everyone else knew a long time ago last season was his last season.

He ain't never gonna be a politician

Doesn’t happen often. But this guy touched my heart.

Hope he enjoys the next stage of his life. Was a pleasure getting to watch him.

there`s zero chance Bergy doesn`t move forward without a role in the organization, intelligent, articulate, great person on and off the ice. First game vs Habs at the TD next year, 1 hr, 34 minute jersey retirement ceremony

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Just like Jean Beliveau (who he reminds me of), he will be a superb ambassador for the game of hockey.

idk about that. If you noticed, he was pretty vague and non committal when asked if he was going to keep living in Boston. Sounded like maybe he has thoughts of returning to Quebec (or somewhere else). Definitely sounded like he doesn't want to coach.

don`t see him as a coach, see him as an AGM/GM/Prez down the road, he`s going nowhere, book it

[Gee Wally]

my guess….just getting in some workouts before he joins alumni team. Chara & Tuukka did the same.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Weaning himself off his typical summer routine, my opinion.

 

[Bruinaura]

They're both going to be playing in Bergy's last charity game in Quebec City August 10.
