Patrice Bergeron fires up the Boston Bruins moments before game 7
Before the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs hit the ice, there was some news from the Bruins. They've announced a special captain for tonight's game, and it's got the crowd at TD Garden Arena pumped!
The arena erupted when they saw Patrice Bergeron on the big screen. He used to play for the Bruins and scored a winning goal in a Game 7 against the Leafs back in 2013.
The roof just came off TD Garden when Patrice Bergeron was introduced as honorary banner captain.
Bergeron scored the Game 7 OT winner for the #bruins against the #leafs in 2013.
Bergeron spent his whole career with the Bruins and retired last season. His return tonight is sure to fire up the team and the fans, especially after two tough losses to the Leafs.
