Protecting Patrice Bergeron should be a focus for Bruins

The Boston Bruins embarked on their best stretch of the season amid turbulent times. Yet, even they encountered a few hiccups along the way of their recent 4-1-2 run.

One area, in particular, provided some concern involving Patrice Bergeron.

Several opponents took notice of Boston’s roster turnover during the last few seasons. Because of that development, the Bruins witnessed their captain protecting himself on numerous encounters.

Granted, the Bruins didn’t witness an Alex Burrows-like moment with Bergeron. That 2011 Stanley Cup Winning squad certainly took exception to Burrows biting Bergeron’s glove in Game 1 of the Final.
