Mike Babcock praises Patrice Bergeron: “Every time you hang out with him, you win. So in '04 at the Worlds, 2010 at the Olympics, 2014 at the Olympics, 2016 at the World Cup. I got a sweater with his name on it, all signed with all those things on it. Pretty cool. But when he arrived at the '04 World Championships, I didn't really know who he was. He was a kid. Well, the next thing you know, he's penalty killing, playing on the power play, playing, knowing what to do. And the other thing I loved about him when he played, like my whole theory when you play with the best players in the world, you have two centres on each line, and there's two guys that can play down low, and they're smarter than everybody. And that's what he was. He made the players around him better, and he's a great, great man, and I'm proud to know him.” #NHLBruins
