Patrice Bergeron, Tuukka Rask Offer Unique Perspective In GoPro Video
BOSTON (CBS) -- Patrice Bergeron gets plenty of praise around the hockey world, but he remains one of the underappreciated stars in the game. That's due in large part to the 29-year-old's lack of flash, as Bergeron almost always chooses to make the right play instead of the one that will end up on highlight reels.
But the Bruins' alternate captain put some of his next-level skills on display in a video recently released on GoPro's official YouTube page.
The camera company put its product atop Bergeron's head as well as on top of goaltender Tuukka Rask to provide a unique perspective on the game.
In the video, Bergeron offered plenty of praise for his teammate, but Rask gave it right back.
"It's tough to read," Rask said of Bergeron's shot. "I mean, a lot of it becomes instinct once you train your eye to see a certain way guys are releasing the puck. And he's got one of those releases that you can't really get a read on. It makes you mad whenever he scores."
Bergeron, the best faceoff man in hockey, also put his skills at the dot on display in the video.
Bergeron may not have put forth the ridiculous stickhandling show that Patrick Kane or Tyler Seguin did, but it's nevertheless a pretty cool view for Bruins fans.

Impressive stuff.
