Lightning Round: Patrice Bergeron retires
Patrice Bergeron has announced his retirement from professional hockey after 19 seasons spanning 20 years (yes, he was playing back during the 05 lockout), 1200 games, 1000 points, and fewer than 500 penalty minutes. Patrice Bergeron redefined the Selke Trophy for Best Defensive Forward, winning it even in his final season in the league.
In scoring 25+ goals a season and roasting his competition with 60%+ at the faceoff dot in his final years, Bergeron definitely chose to make the league an easier one to play in than having retirement handed to him.
