Bergeron’s regular season is officially over
Following his meeting Thursday with a neurologist, it became official that Patrice Bergeron’s regular season came to an end when he was clobbered headfirst into the Garden’s rear boards the afternoon of Oct. 27. the Boston Globe reported.
Bergeron, who will be examined again in two weeks, remains some 10 pounds under his playing weight of 195 pounds and is augmenting his diet with high-calorie shakes. Problem is, his skating and dryland workouts burn off the calories nearly as fast as he can take them in, and he needs his weight and muscle mass to return just as much as he needs all the remaining neuro cobwebs to clear.
Now, does that rule out Bergeron from rejoining the roster if the Bruins were to go on an extended Cup run? Not necessarily. However, it has taken him nearly five months to feel good again, and even if he were to receive a go-ahead from the neurologist in two weeks, he still would have to start back slowly with contact drills, build up his all-around physical tolerance, and keep adding to his weight and muscle mass.
