Marchand said.Since Bergeron and Marchand recent meet-up the team has won three straight, outscoring their opponents 10-4 on the run.
Bergeron gave a glowing compliment with how Marchand has led the Bruins this season.
«We're such good friends. We've been connecting a lot, talking a lot, maybe at times bouncing ideas here and there,» Bergeron said. «But to be honest with you, he's done such a tremendous job. He's kind of grabbed the reins and he's never looked back, really. I think he was well prepared for it and has a lot of experience and obviously great leadership.
«I'm just impressed and I'm not surprised. I guess that's how I should say it. Really proud of him.»
