Before the league put NHL 36: Patrice Bergeron on Youtube, I really wanted to take some photos of the beauty in it, so I aimed my camera at the TV and did it that way. I wish to share the fruits of my labor. Some of them are not perfect, angle- or context-wise, but you can still get the point of it through my effort. Plus there's commentary. YOU LIEK MAH COMMENTURRY. This post is public because I'm linking to it on tumblr. Enjoy!!
These first few photos I just forgot to try and crop out Obvious TV Border. They're from the intro to the game that followed and show the guys walking into the arena in New Jersey.
The way Tyler is looking at Brad...mmmmmmmhmmmmm.
HAHA YOUR FACE IS A PERFECT FACE, PATRICE. Look at his hat. I bet he's listening to some Kanye on the headphones.
"Hi, everyone, I'm flawless. My team and I are going to pwn you tonight."
I tried to get a photo of Tuukka but he would not stop moving and so the photo looks a bit bad.
LET'S START THE SHOW. This shows a lot of preview shots of things to come.
Oh god he looks so hot driving...
Beauts (I think that's Lucic, Marchand and Seidenberg in the background there)
Watching movies with Daniel Paille on the plane
Such a lovely face
He stretches before the game against Phoenix. Apparently he gave the cameras the slip to try and do this but they found him anyway. I'm glad they did. DAT BODY.
They put a camera in Patrice's stall. EXCUSE ME WHY IS THERE NO FOOTAGE OF HIM GETTING DRESSED? Like naked and stuff? *do the creep*
Meditating pregame
Waiting on the blue line during the national anthem with Brad Marchand, Tyler Seguin (next to each other OF COURSE), Dennis Seidenberg and Zdeno Chara
You need to stop it with your face. And that facial hair ugh Tyler seriously
OH GOD I LOVE YOU look at his lips though
His big-ass bag
Heading to Phoenix. I'VE BEEN THERE asakdajslfkalfkkasfjla I miss it so much sometimes
As he gets in his car, OMG I've been on that exact sidewalk. That's the small surface parking lot outside TD Garden where we stood after the game to try and get autographs.
During a "hey remember how October sucked lol" segment, the boyfriends look sad. COMFORT EACH OTHER.
Beautiful up-close interview shot
PERFECT BODY
Unf can you drive me
His car's manual! He can teach me to drive manual. Also good god would you look at his HAND?
Talking with Paille about what to watch on the 5-hour flight
Patrice is like "oh yah I want to watch dat" in his adorable accent
A flawless human
CUTIE and PIE
The entire plane. On the right side, second row, wearing big headphones--Jack Edwards?? Looks like the press and folks sit up front and the players in the back.
Andrew Ference has on his glasses and is probably reading some super intense paper about the environment on his iPad. Meanwhile Milan Lucic is asleep.
Marshy needs to stop it with his face
Beauty
Patrice's brother Guillaume texted him to say he heard Patrice was doing the show and was like "WHAT WILL THEY FILM YOU DOING LOL"
All smiles
Patrice gets sleeeepy
Awwwwww night night
Landing in Phoenix
In the locker room, Patrice can't find his bag.
The way he says this line is so adorable. He suspects someone is hiding his bag.
As he looks around, Tuukka and Tim hang out together in the right hand corner
Where is his bag?
Adam McQuaid checks out dat ass
YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP IT WITH YOUR FUCKING FACE UGH IT'S NOT FAIR
I'd just like to point out that those legs of steel belong to Chara. DAYUM.
He found it! It had been unpacked for him by someone.
A disembodied voice says this line
Talking to Naoko Funayama
Bergy's sticks
He also laments not having any friends--folks want to stay off camera
He says "someone come sit with me!" Poor baby. I'll sit with you. On your lap.
The play two-touch, a kind of soccer game where you can bounce it twice to pass it to someone else but it cannot touch the floor. He's bonking it with his head in this shot.
Shit, the ball got stuck in the piping!
Notice how Brad and Tyler just STAND THERE while others go get ladders and stuff. My question: why not just hail Chara over and get him to poke it away with his seven-foot-long stick? (ooer)
Patrice wins!
Praccy on the Phoenix ice. Patrice constantly praises his teammates the whole time.
FUCK YOU UGH I GET ANGRY AT HOW GOOD-LOOKING YOU ARE SOMETIMES IT FRUSTRATES ME
Brown-eyed boys

The hotel in Phoenix...swank
The stuff on the left is being said by Seguin and on the right by Bergeron in the elevator. Tyler you suckup, lol.

Bedtime!
Drink some water

Go to bed. Night night.
Good morning! Time to get some breakfast with Ference and Rask!
Ferry looks pretty even when eating.
Uh-oh, Bergy spots something interesting in the USA Today Tuukka is reading.
He's interested that all three countries are in the same pool for World Juniors and Tuukka says like one thing #momentoffame
Then Ferry, Tuuk and Bergy head off to the arena.
Patrice watches game film of the Coyotes.
DAT ASS
Looking fine as hell
OKAY THIS SEGMENT. He insists he's not superstitious, then tells us he tapes his stick and blade EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, lines his water up next to him on his right side and has done so since he was 16, so for 10 years now. PATRICE YOU ARE SUPERSTITIOUS.
Patrice's superstition segment
Marshy tapes his stick too
Gregory Campbell appears for no reason except he's pretty

Here the show ends but my DVR recorded a little bit of the intro to the game, just a few seconds of pure focus on Patrice.
