Boston Bruins: 5 takeaways from an amazing 2019 Winter Classic

That was what Tuukka Rask muttered into the mic after Patrice Bergeron was done answering a question in the post-game press conference.
Patrice Bergeron showed why he will be a Boston Bruins legend. Bergeron isn’t just a great offensive player, he is good on defense as well.
We saw this when Patrice Bergeron scored a major goal in the 2nd period.
David Pastrnak misplayed the puck on the power play and the Blackhawks looked like they were going to go up 3-1, but they forgot about Bergeron.
Bergy raced back and was able to create a turnover. That turnover would lead to Bergeron having a redirected puck land on his stick and he put it home to tie the game.
Bergeron has missed a good amount of time due to injuries but is still one of the Bruins top scorers. He has 13 goals and 20 assists this season.
