Lindholm Gets Honest About the Departures Of Bergeron and Krejci
Boston Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm recently took some time with the media to address the inevitable question surrounding the team's upcoming season.
One marked by the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci.
«It's obviously a question I'm going to get a lot,» Hampus Lindholm said. «I can only speak for myself, but I think I do speak for a lot of guys in the locker room as well when I say those guys have been around that team for so long and it's almost like their personalities and what they've taught everyone is put into the walls and the ceiling there in that locker room. Me, I'm just super excited to show that culture keeps living on and show what we can do without them. Obviously, you can never replace players like that, but we've got some young guys that are excited to show what they can do in this league. I think we have a really good squad, coaches and staff and everything around us to have success. I think Bergeron and [Zdeno] Chara and Krejci, and all those guys created a culture that everyone really wants to carry on and show still exists, show what Bruins hockey is. It's never going to go away.»
However, Lindholm radiates excitement about the prospect of carrying on the rich culture established by Bergeron, Krejci, and other Bruins stalwarts.
He recognizes the irreplaceable nature of players like Bergeron but believes in the young talents ready to step up and contribute to the team's legacy. The Bruins aim to build upon their impressive regular season, where they set records for points and wins.
Although they exited the playoffs in the first round against the Florida Panthers, the team is determined to have another strong season. As they embark on this journey, the challenge of forging a new path without beloved veterans like Bergeron and Krejci looms large.
However, with Lindholm's enthusiasm and a group of young talents eager to make their mark, the Bruins remain steadfast in their commitment to the enduring culture of Bruins hockey.
