The Bruins decided to make everyone's Monday a little less miserable, teasing positive Patrice Bergeron news was coming with a tweet right at 9 a.m.
Then came the update everyone was waiting on: Bergeron is, in fact, back.
The five-time Selke winner has inked a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the B's. The deal can be worth up to $5 million — the additional $2.5 million is linked to performance-based incentives.
This will be the 37-year-old's 19th NHL season; of course, the 2003 second-round pick has spent every one of them in a Bruins uniform.
