In his latest visit to the Pat McAfee Show, Brad Marchand, the leader of the Boston Bruins, divulged details about a significant personal endeavor. Despite the Bruins' impressive performance in the 2023-24 season, Marchand is determined to persuade his long-term colleague and pal, Patrice Bergeron, to reconsider retirement.

Throughout the conversation, Marchand disclosed that he keeps in touch with Bergeron, despite no longer sharing the ice. Yet, he admitted that his constant attempts to encourage the ex-captain to rejoin the Bruins are starting to irritate Bergeron.

"I think he gets annoyed with how much I try to push him to come back at some point, but I think he's excited about his next step, and I try not to be too hard on him."

Marchand said.

Although it would be unexpected for the 38-year-old Bergeron to come back to the NHL, especially as a player, after his retirement following 19 seasons, Marchand continues to be insistent. Even though Bergeron is resolute and relishing his time with family after hanging up his skates, Marchand highlighted their lasting bond, frequently turning to his ex-teammate for counsel.

"We built an incredible friendship; we speak a lot, not only hockey stuff, but again just typical friends stuff, and I talk to him all the time about it" marchand shared.


Even with the challenges, Marchand's guiding role has helped position the Bruins at the top of the Atlantic Division as the mid-season approaches. Meanwhile, having scored 35 points in 37 matches, Marchand candidly voices his wish to reunite with Bergeron on his line for the playoffs � a feeling surely echoed by the team's supporters.
