The Boston Bruins 2023-24 season has been fantastic thus far, and recently, reports have emerged that reveal a potential return could be on the way.
Patrice Bergeron to come out of retirement?
Despite retiring this past summer after a stellar 19-year career in Boston, rumours have already emerged that the former captain is getting in shape for a return.
Those rumours took the internet by storm on Wednesday, and now, a Boston Bruins writer has been in contact with the veteran star, and his answer was an emphatic one.
Unfortunately for Bruins fans that wanted to see him back on the ice, his response wasn't a good one.
In case anyone wanted to know, I asked Patrice Bergeron about his «comeback». Via text, he responded «I am NOT making a comeback.» His emphasis on the «NOT.» Carry on.
At 38-years old, there's just nothing left in the NHL that Bergeron wants to accomplish, and even after a solid 58 points a season ago, it's clear now that he's done with his on-ice career, and will instead focus on the game of hockey in a different role going forward.
