Patrice Bergeron’s 2 just too little - BostonHerald.com

Patrice Bergeron’s 2 just too little - BostonHerald.com: "TAMPA — It was as though the first game back for Patrice Bergeron had been the hockey equivalent of a lunar probe, an opportunity for the 25-year-old center to check out atmospheric conditions . . . stretch out the legs . . . work a little on the shot.

And the results were good. Bergeron displayed the hustle, the two-way play, the deftness with which he turns practically every faceoff into something brewin’ for the Bruins [team stats].

That was in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals when Bergeron returned Thursday after suffering a concussion in the last game of the team’s four-game, second-round sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers. But yesterday was different. Yesterday was when Patrice Bergeron made the cosmic leap from lunar probe to fully armed and operational battle station."
