Patrice Bergeron had some kind words to say about this Boston Bruins forward.
Boston Bruins legend Patrice Bergeron not only traveled to Quebec City with the team for their pre-season matchup against the Los Angeles Kings yesterday (Oct. 3) but also took over the club's official X account during the contest.
While controlling the Bruins' X account, Bergeron had some kind words to say about professional tryout (PTO) addition Tyler Johnson.
Here is what the future Hall of Famer had to say about Johnson:
"The boys are liking the seam passes right now. Nice chance for Tyler Johnson. Was always great competing against him, smart player."
Bergeron certainly played against Johnson a lot during his playing career. Johnson notably spent the first nine seasons of his NHL career with the Lightning, a team the Bruins have developed a strong rivalry with.
Johnson being called a smart player by a six-time Selke Trophy winner like Bergeron is certainly notable. The veteran forward has been a nice addition to the club's training camp roster, and it will be fascinating to see if it leads to him getting a deal from here.
