The Boston Bruins Win the Stanley Cup!

You would have heard that if Patrice Bergeron didn't play, in my mind.

Bergeron, a player for the Boston Bruins in the NHL, was playing in game 6 with numeerous injuries.

He apparently had a broken rib, torn cartilage and muscle tissue, a seperatad shoulder, and had a small puncture in his lung.  That is a lot of pain to endure.  I do think he definitely won some hearts with his playing through the pain.

One thing though, if he is in so much pain, wouldn't that make his slower, less aggressive for the puck, and not as nimble?

I don't recall how swift he was the other day when the Bruins lost to the Chicago Blackhawks, but wouldn't a fresh player be a better solution?

I am sure that there are plenty of fresh, energetic, and able bodies that the Bruins could have brought up and played in this crucial game.  I understand you want one of your star players in the lineup if you can, but I think it was stupid for both the Boston Bruins organization and Bergeron himself to play.

He was trying to play into Kurt Shilling's bloody sox.  Too bad, they didn't win.
