Bissonnette: “Which I didn’t believe.”
Whitney: “Which that’s, that’s a little ,like you’re probably 20 years younger than most of the guys playing in the alumni game. But he he’s a professional. He’s a workhorse. So maybe he is but if Patrice Bergeron is out there skating around looking at maybe a February comeback, can you imagine the Bruins fans. RA be over there wearing his B’s diaper.”
Bissonnette: “I’m choosing to believe it.”
Whitney: “Smoking his bong.”
Bissonnette: “I want to see video of what he’s doing at these practices to stay in quotes, in shape, for these alumni games. Give me a F***ing break. He’s probably working on his wrister from the slot right now. He’s working on the bumper position and on that power play. He’s snapping back face-offs.”
Whitney: “I’d be shocked, I’d be shocked.”
Bissonnette: “I believe.”
Ty Anderson: “All I can add to this: In all my time covering the team, Bergeron is EASILY most protected player from rumors and what not. Been straight-up LED ASTRAY to protect him from scoops. I think if and when it happens, Bruins themselves will make it a point to be ones to break it.”
