"David, for 16 seasons you displayed an unmatched combination of creativity, poise, and wit � with an uncanny knack for coming up clutch � while remaining humble and determined through all your success.
You are a special player, person, and teammate who has made a lasting impact on our organization and our city.
For all you've done for the Boston Bruins, THANK YOU." - Bruins on Krejci's retirement
