Bergeron retires after 19 seasons
1294 games, 427 goals, 613 assists, a career +289, 6x Selke Trophy winner (nominee for TWELVE STRAIGHT SEASONS), Triple Gold member, and interstingly, the first and only player in history to win the IIHF World Championship before the IIHF World U20 Championship.

Dudes a total legend.
I remember a few years ago, the bruins eliminated the hurricanes. In the handshake line Brind'Amour (while coach) told Bergeron that he was his favorite player to watch.
Pretty high praise as far as I'm concerned.
That's a big hole to fill for Boston, and one hell of a career for Bergeron.

Not a fan of the Bruins. Absolutely a fan of Bergeron. Total class act that leaves a tremendous legacy.
Bergeron's a class act. He will be missed for sure.
I legitimately hope they re-name the Selke after him.
