From last hurrahs to workouts at the pool, players from around the hockey world gave us a few more stories to get into this past week. PATRICE BERGERON GETS AN ALL-TIME STANDING OVATION In what may be one of the last times we ever see Patrice Bergeron in a Boston Bruins uniform, the now-retired six-time Selke winner received an amazing send-off this past weekend. Bergeron took part in the Pro-Am Gagne-Bergeron game in Quebec City, and the fans took the opportunity to pay their respects to his career. It's fitting that he gets the most love for an amazing career in his home province. MICHAEL PEZZETTA COMBINES RELAXATION WITH WORK Just because you're at the pool doesn't mean you can't get a little bit of work in. Michael Pezzetta of the Montreal Canadiens shows that you can do both with a very explosive jump out of the water. Pezzetta certainly isn't the first NHL player to pull this off on camera. New York Rangers winger Chris Kreider made the jump [https://youtube.com/shorts/eZNzzwn3B7U?feature=share] almost a decade ago, as well as former NHLer Michael Grabner six years ago [https://youtube.com/shorts/7jXvVgNKtuY?feature=share]. LEON DRAISAITL DROPS IN ON AN INTERVIEW AT BOOTS AND HEARTS What happens when Leon Draisaitl drops in on James Duthie's TSN interview with Connor McDavid and Nickleback frontman Chad Kroeger? A pretty hilarious bit of content at the Boots and Hearts Music Festival in Oro-Medonte, Ont. Draisaitl said growing up in Germany, his dad, Peter, used to listen to Nickleback in the car. And McDavid and his dad did as well, including his favorite Nickleback song, If Today Was Your Last Day. It continues to be a delight to see the two biggest faces of the current Oilers have fun in front of the cameras this summer.
