I got pretty rattled about the whole Iginla to Boston thing. That was handled very unprofessionally by both Feaster and Iginla. I'm over it now though as Jagr came at better value and he may in fact be better for this team than Iginla would have been. It was funny to watch the one PP that Jagr has been a part of on the Bruins; it already looks infinitely better. His puck possession game is still unreal, and he was able to work the puck down low like nobody's business. Also glad to see that Julien knows what he has in Jagr and it looks like he'll put him on for close to the full two minutes every time.
All that being said, the Bruins will not be able to do anything without Bergeron. He's literally the Bruins best forward in pretty much every facet of the game. Even though the Bruins have great depth at forward, this is a loss that they simply won't be able to take in stride. I have no idea when he'll be back, but I don't want them to rush anything. He's too important to lose long-term.
