Fan favorite, Patrice Bergeron, has been cleared for full contact and according to our good friend Fluto, he is taking part in battle drills. Despite the clearance, Peter Chiarelli stated that Bergeron will not be suiting up for game one.
McKeon's Take- I am not sure how I feel about this whole situation. On one side, you have one of the franchise's top players coming back from a serious injury but, on the other hand, you have someone that, on the wrong hit could go right back to where he started in October. The playoffs are extra physical and no one wants Bergy to get hurt again. Ultimately, myself and the rest of Bruins Nation need to trust the medical staff and Patrice's honesty on how he feels. This is a very, very big step in the right direction for Bergy. We all should be proud!
