Every day, I'm reminded why Twitter is so valuable if you consider yourself a true sports fan. With the constant flow of information, it's almost impossible to keep up with it but depending on who you follow, Twitter always comes through with the goods.
This morning, the excellent Matt Kalman (@TheBruinsBlog) tweeted that Bruins center Patrice Bergeron will be featured on NHL 36 next Wednesday. I haven't seen any episodes of the show yet but I've seen a couple commercials for it on the NHL Network. Cameras follow around different NHL players for 36 hours, hence the show title. It seems like a great idea and I can't wait to see Bergeron.
The assistant captain is a fan favorite and for good reason. You won't find players who are more dependable or even keeled than him on Boston or on other NHL teams. He excels at basically every facet of the game and he also seems like an even better guy and teammate. As you can tell, my man love for Bergeron is off the charts.
He has seven goals, 21 assists and he's plus +21. NESN announcer Jack Edwards has been touting Bergeron's Seilke award (defensive forward) candidacy since the 2011-12 season started so it would be nice to see the NHL similarly give him a chance when the award nominees are named in the spring.
Apparently the cameras from NHL 36 began recording Bergeron today as the Bruins left for Phoenix. They play the Coyotes tomorrow night in the desert before heading to Dallas for a New Year's Eve meeting with the Stars.
