Anthony Travalgia: It's Official: Bruins sign Patrice Bergeron

Huge sigh of relief. I knew it was coming considering how active he’s been talking new players and coaches but the wait was killer.

Maybe we’ll see some more activity this week

A welcome sight. Selfishly I never want to see this guy retire even though I know we only have a limited window seeing him play in the future.

With Zacha arbitration this thursday I wonder if there will be any moves or if they will just carry the cap and utilize LTIR. My guess is the latter.

I think someone might be moved but they still have the space to sign Zacha.

They can go 10% over and just use LTIR to start the season. Never a worry there. Wonder if it will be one of the D or if they will try and move someone like Smith.

Good for the game….

Don't worry guys (duck, glove, dougie, etc.), I've moved the crow from the freezer to the fridge so they can thaw and I can throw them on the grill once Krecji signs.

Don't worry Mahewman, I'll keep the beer brats on a separate grill for us.

I want my pasta extension too. So keep an extra crow for me.

Don't worry, when Pasta signs I'll just make yours a crow parmesan.

Well now I'm hungry, thanks....

Interesting rumors about interest in Lucic. If you can move Foligno in the deal i would do it. Calgary is short on forwards so a 2 for 1 might work. Any combo of Foligno/Nosek/Wagner for Lucic.

You open a slot for a kid to get in the lineup and bring in actual toughness. Lucic would be pretty motivated coming back to Boston. He's overpaid but he's good for 20 points and he's a legitimate enforcer.

If anything, it would be fun

poop maybe we can convince Daniel Paille and Shawn Thornton to come back too. Tell Kelly to take the coaching hat off and suit up. Lets just dress as much nostalgia as possible. (frank) it

Tim Thomas would be a bargain signing

Krejci too

Krejci confirmed. I suppose I will eat my first serving of crow now.

Dont think he will ever come out of his doomsday bunker.

I just came for the victory laps.

First. round. Bounce. Book it.

Krejci back for 1M with 2M in bonuses. Were going to need to thaw that crow ASAP.

Exactly. But hey here's to another year of Bergy. Cheers!


One last kick at the can as they ride this core into the bedrock.

You knew Bergy was coming back the whole time. Krejci was honestly a bit of surprise.

I mean, how can you turn down Pasta. Kid is just too infectious with his positive vibes. Was as surprise, and a welcome one.
