Patrice Bergeron undecided on his hockey future after Bruins’ playoff elimination

Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron wasn’t ready to discuss his future in the moments following the Bruins’ Game 7 loss to the Hurricanes, which ended their season.

“No, it’s too early right now. Not after – it’s too fresh right now,” Bergeron said when asked if he decided if he would return next season. “It still stings from a hard-fought series and we came up short. Obviously, I’m going to have to think about it but I’m not there right now.”

Bergeron, who turns 37 in July, is in the final year of his contract. But rumors of him possibly retiring have floated for much of the season.
