Also, in case anyone forgot just how awful this franchise is, top to bottom, the play by play guy on Sportsnet thought Marchand should’ve been penalized when Dorsett collapsed him on the PP.

Watching the puck battles in person is even better. He’s a treasure.
It can’t be overstated. He competes all the time and he’s an elite player. It’s remarkable.

The ripple effect when Bergeron is back at the top of the lineup is amazing. I really shouldn't be surprised, but wow everyone looks so much better when they're playing in the right place in the lineup

Scale of 1-10, how much you think it bothered him to be out injured and have to watch them scuffle through the start of the year? 93?

Don't forget Backes. For as maligned as he is, he's still a useful NHL player.

BRICKLEY: Jack mentioned the power play. Was it adjustments over the last day or two or just better execution?

CASSIDY: Yah, we put Bergy in there. That was the adjustment we made.

Fun game. Bergy really is god. PSK a close second. John at the Guinness stand outside section 14 a solid 3rd.

LOL @ Cassidy's comment. If it's possible for Bergy to be underrated at something still, he's developed into a legitimate weapon in the pivot of their 1-3-1 power play over the past couple of years. He's made himself so valuable in all phases of the game, even one's he's been traditionally less good at. The fawning in this gamethread is nowhere close to over the top enough.
