David Krejci sat in his postgame press conference with the brim of his hat resting above his eyebrows. You could barely see his eyes on camera. In some ways, it foreshadowed his demeanor.<\/p>\n
He doesn\u2019t normally say much when seated next to a teammate in a media availability and after Game 5 was no different \u2014 Krejci would be keeping a low profile.<\/p>\n
But he was asked a question about Torey Krug and his impact on the Bruins and how much the team wanted him back.<\/p>\n
It led to the most candid, open and telling soundbite from a player who\u2019s not normally known for providing these kinds of moments.<\/p>\n
\u201cTorey is a great player,\u201d Krejci said following the Bruins 3-2 double overtime loss in Game 5. \u201cHe always has your back. We definitely don\u2019t want to see him leave. A great friend. I can\u2019t say enough about that guy. But at the same time, it just kind of hit me after the game that the core group, a few of us, we have one or two, three years left. With the pandemic going on, you never know what\u2019s going to happen. So, it\u2019s just kind of \u2013 I just got a little sad right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the same time, I don\u2019t regret coming into this bubble and fighting for the Stanley Cup. If I would have to do it again, I would.\u201d<\/p>\n
