Over the course of nine years, Pastrnak has shared the ice with the legendary Patrice Bergeron, and their partnership has been nothing short of remarkable.
As Bergeron announced his retirement, the 27-year-old forward took to the Bruins' social media account to express his deep emotions and gratitude towards his captain and long-time friend.
The bond between the young forward and Bergeron extended far beyond the game, with Bergeron serving as a genuine mentor and confidant.
Now, with Bergeron's absence, Pastrnak faces a pivotal moment in his career. Armed with an impressive eight-year, $90 million contract extension, the Bruins will rely on him to step up as a leader both on and off the ice.
