What former Bruins forward Tyler Seguin misses in Boston

2024-10-25 20:30:05

BOSTON — As the Dallas Stars team bus wound through the tunnels and one-way streets of Boston from Logan Airport to the team hotel, Tyler Seguin got a little nostalgic.

Boston has evolved since it was home for him, but these were the same roads that the Bruins took with a police escort back from Vancouver in 2011 after winning the Stanley Cup and some of the same route that they road Duck Boats on for the championship parade a few days later.

“When we land, we go through the tunnels. I think about we won the Cup, we were going through tunnels with cops,” he said after the Stars’ 5-2 win on Thursday. “Different memories flood back. So many great memories here. Things I’ll never forget. Still in love with the city.”

Seguin is a veteran now. He’s only than 14 of the 18 skaters in the Stars lineup. After three seasons in Boston, he’s in his 12th year in Dallas. He never became the superstar many thought he might become when the Bruins selected him second overall in the 2010 draft. But he’s had a good career.

Boston traded him Rich Peverley and Ryan Button to Dallas for Loui Eriksson, Joe Morrow, Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser on July 4, 2013. He’s been a fixture for the Stars since.

After his goal and two assists on Thursday, Seguin has 355 goals 440 assists and 795 points through his 15 seasons. Barring injury he’ll reach 800 career points soon and 1,000 career games (Thursday was No. 974) before New Year’s.

With Dallas visiting just once a year, Boston’s construction always catches him off guard.

“The city looks so different. For sure. I mean, it’s so different,” he said. “Seaport looks so different. But there’s little things for sure.”

Seguin said he still peeks up at the banner he helped earn.

“Every pregame skate, I’ll still look up to the banners and try to reminisce,” said Seguin, who wasn’t a fan of the Garden’s makeover. “I still miss the yellow seats a little bit. They’re all the black ones now.”
