That’s all I can worry about and control. I have the utmost confidence in myself.“I’ll let my agent and the organization deal with that side of things, to be honest, man.

Confident Pavel Zacha in the middle of it all for the Bruins

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:37:43 GMT

As everyone in the Bruins’ dressing room will tell you, there is no replacing Patrice Bergeron. He won six Selke Awards, a Stanley Cup and became a Black-and-Gold institution in his decades in uniform.But in reality, someone will have to take Bergeron’s place on the ice. And it appears Pavel Zacha will get every opportunity to take over as much of Bergeron’s work load that he can handle.On Tuesday in training camp, Zacha assumed the Bergeron role on the top power play, bringing his left shot to the bumper position. And on Wednesday, he was centering Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, a slot Bergeron successfully occupied for years. Expect Zacha to do his share of penalty killing as well.Now mind you, lines can change often in September – and coach Jim Montgomery sounded like he was still very much in the tinkering phase. But it’s clear the B’s are going to ask a lot of Zacha this year. And just a week into training camp, he looks and sounds much differen...
