Look me in the eye and tell me Pat Maroon wasn't meant to be a Boston Bruin

Oh no, that was all left on the ice, the bad feelings, and it was a great shock to leave hockey and very hard. It had been the best of times. But what happens, is that you see your teammates every day, and then when it’s over, it’s over. You never see them again. You wonder why so-and-so who was your friend, and you roomed with him on the road trips, wouldn’t give a call when he comes through town. You could sit around and tell stories. Have a beer. He could come to your house and see your children. Maybe look at the doll houses. But they don’t call. They never call. You wonder. You wonder. After you leave, there is no contact with anyone. It hurts. It makes you feel like you’re a gust in the wind.

John Wensink, on whether leaving hockey was hard.

One of my favorite Bruins moments of all time, John Wensink challenges the entire Minnesota bench to a fight.
