The Bruins held an optional skate this morning, and for the second day in a row, Bergeron was not present. Following practice, General Manager Don Sweeney addressed the media to talk about the veteran's prospects for Game 1.
Nevertheless, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reported that Marchand, who probably knows Bergeron better than anyone else, isn't overly concerned about his friend's ability to play in tomorrow's game.
If there's one thing the seasoned veteran has demonstrated throughout his 19-year career, it's his determination to play unless physically impossible, especially during the playoffs.
