What should've been a day of rejoice, turned into one of great fear, as Patrice Bergeron, who missed most of last season with a concussion, left the game after a scary collision in the 2nd period with the Hurricanes' Dennis Seidenberg. Bergeron was helped from the ice with what appeared to be a head injury. There is not word whether or not he has another concussion, but from what I saw he looked groggy. It was ood since the hit didn't look too bad, but once you have a concussion, you are more likely to get another. It really just sucks, with how well this team has been playing.
Anyways, at least the game went well as the Bruins cruised to their 13th straight home win. Manny Fernandez, who is playing up to what DP preaches, made 32 saves and improved to 10-1-1 in his past 12 starts. Kessel improved his point streak to 17 games, which tied him for 5th longest in franchise history, along with Ray Bourque. He only needs to extend his streak 3 more games to tie Adam Oates for the longest steak in Bruins history.
The game was tied 1-1 till the 3rd, when the Bruins went off scoring 3 goals. The strength of this team is their depth, which will be tested once again with Bergeron looking like he will be on th shelf for awhile, and Sturm who is now out at least 30 days. The good news is the Bruins have such a good record, that even if these injuries affect them, if they can get healthy in a month or so, they will be fine.
