Ference had a pretty strange run with the Boston Bruins. He was traded to Boston, along with Chuck Kobasew, and was inching close to the “Jordan Caron Hall of Whipping Boys” stature. In 2010, he signed a 3 year contract extension worth $2.25M AAV. I distinctly remember freaking the fuck out and thinking the contract was shit. I thought Andrew Ference wasn’t worth that size contract (at the time) and boy was I wrong.
Ference got healthy and had a wonderful run in Boston during that new contract with his most memorable spot not being a victory, but a failure.
