Bergeron On Cloud 9
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 16th, 2010
Patrice Bergeron, a guy who wasn’t invited to Team Canada’s orientation camp in August, got to the rink Monday and got a nice surprise.
He’s playing right wing on a line Tuesday with Sidney Crosby and Rick Nash.
From being on the outside to finding a spot on Canada’s top line as they open the Olympic tournament today against Norway (4:30 p.m. PST), Bergeron felt like like one of the luckiest guys in the world.
“For sure,” said the Boston Bruins forward, “(Crosby)’s such a great player and Rick Nash is an unbelievable player, as well. The two of them, having a chance to play with them is a real honour. I’m just trying to go out there and not get too nervous about playing with them.
“It seems like we find each other on the ice and seems like the chemistry has been pretty good from the get-go.”
Crosby and Bergeron played together at the 2005 world junior tournament with great success – Bergeron was in the middle then and Crosby on the left side – and at the world championships.
“Me and Berg have played together a couple of times now. Hopefully the familiarity there is going to help to adjust quicker,” said Crosby. “Nash and I played together in the summer camp and he’s a pretty straight forward guy to play with, he’s got a lot of speed and tries to use it to the outside. It shouldn’t be too hard to figure everything out.”
