Paul Pierce, Julian Edelman, Jason Varitek, and David Ortiz all congratulated Patrice Bergeron in a video Saturday for playing in his 1,000th career game with the Bruins.
The Bruins also honored the 33-year-old Bergeron with a pre-game tribute, and he responded by scoring the game-winning goal in overtime of Boston’s 5-4 triumph over the Los Angeles Kings.
Bergeron noted afterward that he appreciated the love and support he received from all of his current and former teammates, the fans, and his fellow Boston athletes.
A few fellow Boston greats send Bergy congrats on 1,000 games.
