The Daily: Another Boston Bruins Favorite Retiring?

First it was Patrice Bergeron. Now it sounds as if another Boston Bruins favorite will be calling it quits. According to Boston Hockey Now’s Jimmy Murphy, David Krejci sounds as if he’s played his last game on North American ice and with his team. Writes Murphy:

“He may play for the national team, but otherwise, he’s done,” the source told BHN.

The source said that Krejci would make his announcement ‘very soon’ but it will be ‘low key’ since he already left the NHL and the Bruins once.

Twice within a month, the Boston Bruins look like they might lose another important player from its successful past. It now appears as if it’ll just be a matter of when, and not if, it occurs.
