Bergeron Update
CBC reported on Hockey Night in Canada that Bergeron suffered a concussion and a broken nose, but has full feeling in his arms and legs.
Say a Prayer for Patrice Bergeron
The criminal element that is the Philadelphia Flyers has struck again; this time it was Randy Jones hitting Boston’s Patrice Bergeron from behind, into the boards. Bergeron appeared to be knocked out and was taken off the ice on a stretcher after being immobilized. Jones was given a 5 minutes major for boarding and a game misconduct.
There’s not much commentary for something like this, just that this is third time a Flyer has seriously injured another player by taking a run at them and delivering a deliberate cheap shot and at this point this league out to start consider fining the organization or coach.
