Patrice Bergeron was injured during the Bruins' regular season finale in Montreal, and fans were outraged. However, there was a touching reason he decided to play.

When Family Takes Precedence

Initially, it was believed that an illness had sidelined the captain from Boston's lineup. However, on Wednesday, Jim Montgomery revealed that an injury was also involved.

This revelation led fans to express frustration about Montgomery allowing Bergeron to play against the Canadiens in the first place. But as Dominic Tiano disclosed, Bergeron had a heartfelt reason for taking the ice.

This story demonstrates the power of family bonds:

''Patrice Bergeron's father is battling cancer. He wanted to play in front of his father in Montreal for possibly the last time. Even wanted to go back out there after he went to the room. I'm told that doesn't matter. Shouldn't have played. Wow. I'm stunned and at a loss for words.''


It was initially reported that Bergeron was adamant about playing in Montreal, and now we know why.
