The Bruins Officially Reveal Who Will Be Replacing Bergeron
Morgan Geekie is excited to join the Boston Bruins and be part of an organization with a rich history of success. Geekie, who recently signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Bruins, is eager to contribute to the team's legacy.
Geekie, a Manitoba native, has been impressed by the camaraderie and culture within the Bruins organization. He appreciates the warm welcome he has received from everyone.
Reflecting on his time with the Seattle Kraken, where he posted a career-high 28 points and nine goals, Geekie acknowledges that hockey is a business, and he holds no grudges against his former team. He is grateful for the opportunity he had with the Kraken and looks forward to his new chapter in Boston.
The Bruins tweeted this today confirming Geekie will be Bergeron's replacement:
With the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, there are vacant spots in the lineup, and Geekie is determined to seize the opportunity. He is open to playing a defensive role if needed and is focused on improving his face-off performance, which dipped to 49.2% last season.
Coach Jim Montgomery believes Geekie's transition to the Bruins will not require significant adjustments defensively but may involve adapting to the team's offensive strategies.
Geekie understands the importance of face-offs in Boston and is eager to learn from his teammates to improve in this aspect of his game.
As he begins his journey with the Bruins, Geekie is determined to make a positive impact and contribute to the team's success.
