This is sports center 5, 2 minutes exercise. I think one of the best lines in movie history is as good as it gets when Jack Nicholson says to Helen Hunt, you make me want to be a better man. And in all sincerity, I could say the same to Patrice Bergeron when I see how he behaves in all situations, how he is with his children, how much respect he gives to the two teammates, to the bosses, to the fans, to the media and to staff. And I say to myself Patrice Bergeron, you make me want to be a *** better man. I also like to be graceful and kind in all situations. I’m sure I could work *** much harder at my craft and I’ll never come close to working as hard as he does at his Bergeron arrived at the Bruins in 2003 the same year I reached the channel five. So I had a front row *** for his entire career on and off the ice. He’s been exemplary, he’s playing the game the right way and by all appearances he’s living his life the right way. His teammates admire him. His coaches rely on his leadership. It’s rare for someone to be a *** role model for children and adults, but Bergeron lives up to that standard. And while that next statement is certainly debated, Bergeron is *** among the four greatest players of all time, third in games played and fourth in goals, assists and points. He’s also third in game-winning goals, that’s enough 3rd and 4th to put him in the top four. He was also hugely impactful in the Bruins’ Stanley Cup run in 2011, finishing with 20 points in 23 games before lifting the cup one day and maybe one day soon. They will lift Bergeron’s number 37 at Rafters Garden. Bergeron let people know he was considering retirement and some suggested he might play for another team. Either way, he may have played his last game with the Bruins. Bergeron has earned the right to do what he deems best for his family and himself. And if you remember Helen Hunt‘s response to Jack Nicholson wanting to be a *** best man she said that might be the best compliment of my life and that’s why I borrowed it from the character of Nicholson because I wanted to give Patrice Bergeron the best compliment I could. mmm

One of the best lines in movie history, I think, is from “As Good As It Gets” when Jack Nicholson says to Helen Hunt, “You make me want to be a better man.” And in all sincerity – I could say the same to Patrice Bergeron.
