Patrice Bergeron has been with the Boston Bruins for the entirety of his career, captaining the Original Six franchise along the way. Bergeron is not unfamiliar with the mediatic scrutiny especially since the Bruins broke an NHL record for the most wins during the regular season.
The Bruins were in Montreal for the final game of their season and the belief was that Bergeron, who had sustained an injury, would've taken a night off to recover days prior to the start of the playoffs. Bergeron however opted to take a different road as the veteran insisted that he'd be in the lineup in Montreal, he ended up aggravating an injury that prevented him from playing in his team's first two playoffs game.
Through 19 NHL seasons, 1294 regular season games, the B's captain managed 1040 points, 1 Stanley Cup, 5 Selke, 1 Mark Messier, 1 King Clancy along with multiple awards on the international stage.
