Bruins Clear the Bench for Patrice Bergeron's 1,000th Career Point

There are few - if any - players in the NHL more beloved by his own teammates than Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron. After surrendering the first goal the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Boston Bruins have completely flipped the game on its head, with Bergeron giving them a 4-1 lead through two periods.

It took Bergeron 1,235 games to reach the 1,000 point mark. As an elite two-way center, Bergeron's ability to rack up points is remarkable. His leadership has his teammates totally bought into the Bruins' culture, and you can tell by their reaction how much they love him.

I'm not crying, you're crying!
