On the couch
Even though I'm an insomniac, I'm sleeping through this one...but I'm DVRing it, because I'm hockey-starved. I just want two related things: Good ice, and no injuries. Anything beyond that is delicious gravy.

Bergeron-cleary? I had no idea Bergeron wasn’t his last name.

Let us not forget Patrice Bergeron-Cleary, No. 37 in the program, whose father is only a couple of generations removed from this neck of the Emerald Isle.

“Yeah,’’ mused the Bruins’ humble center, cooling down after the squad’s afternoon workout at Odyssey Arena. “I should be Patrice Cleary.’’
And then, after a very short pause, he added, “Not should be — I am Patrice Cleary.’’

Actually, the 25-year-old center, as noted in the club’s just-off-the-presses media guide, is officially Patrice Bergeron-Cleary. As he made his way through youth hockey in his home province of Quebec, as he has explained many times over the years, his name typically was truncated for simplicity’s sake. When in French Canada, do as French-Canadians do, and therefore “Bergeron’’ was the name that stuck on the back of his hockey sweaters and youth hockey registration forms.


Clearing up Bergeron’s name

How many of us are actually going to wake up to watch a preseason game at 2:35 on a Saturday morning?

See, my FIRST reaction was, "f***"

But then thinking about it, I have (assuming Hurricane Asshole doesn't screw me over) a morning brunch in DC with family to celebrate my birthday (turned 30 on Monday. Still not sure how to feel about that..) and pretty much all weekend I'll be binge drinking with my twin brother anyway, so what's another several hours without sleep?

I've MISSED hockey!
