The Boston Bruins earned high marks for their dominating Game 3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Patrice Bergeron, whose career once appeared in jeopardy due to concussions, won the Selke Trophy this past season as the NHLs top defensive forward, a well-deserved honor for the superb two-way pivot. Bergeron had 22 goals and 64 points this past season in 81 games and was plus-36 with 20 minutes in penalties, 67 blocked shots and 55 takeaways. He was also brilliant in the face-off circle, winning 59.3 percent of the time including 53.5 percent of shorthanded draws. There are a number of NHL centers who routinely score with more frequency than Bergeron, but his all-around game makes him more elite in real terms than in fantasy circles. (Updated 8/14/12)
