Bergy's back

Another reason for the Bruins' success: Patrice Bergeron is again the centerpiece of the team. Still only 23, the 2003 second-round Bruins draft pick put up more than 70 points in his second and third seasons before missing nearly all of last year with a concussion. Now back to health, he's again setting the tone for the team with his all-around game, creating plays offensively while playing hard-hitting defense.
