Selke Award finalist Patrice Bergeron, who has an undisclosed upper-body injury, took the day off, but Coach Claude Julien was adamant that his indispensable center will be in the lineup Wednesday.
As usual with the playoffs, the Bruins are not disclosing Bergeron's injury but he will play.

To get a real sense of how Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas is handling the pressure of yet another Game 7, all one had to do was watch him after practice on Tuesday: He appeared relaxed and ready for the Washington Capitals.
No surprise that the B's will go with Thomas for Game 7.
April 24, 2012, 10:36 p.m.
It’s Game 6 in Washington, D.C. and Thomas is focused on keeping his Bruins in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Thomas and the B's look to stave off elimination to the Caps this afternoon.

Boston's injured goaltender, Tuukka Rask, is also close to returning to backup duty.
No reason to not expect Thomas in net for Game 5.

Thomas in net, as expected.
April 19, 2012, 7:18 p.m.
The Bruins’ regulars stayed off the ice Sunday, as the team elected to rest up after playing overtime games Thursday and Saturday before Monday’s Game 3 against the Capitals.

No AM skate for the Bruins. We'll hear from a few players and Coach Julien pregame...^BISH
Barring any injuries in warmups, Thomas will be your Game 2 starter.

Paille echoed the sentiments around the room on 46. "He seems ready to go, we're glad to have him..."^BISH
There was some speculation that Krejci could miss the game but according to his teammates it looks like he will play.

BOSTON, MA – Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today that the club has signed Boston College defenseman Tommy Cross to an entry-level contract.

Adam McQuaid was not present.
McQuaid might need a few more days to rest. He finished the regular season with two goals and 10 points with 99 PIM.
April 9, 2012, 11 a.m.
Johnny Boychuk and Tuukka Rask skated prior to practice with strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides and then stayed on for the full session.
Sounds like Boychuk should be an option in the playoffs. The two-way d-man scored five goals and 15 points in 77 games.

Tuukka Rask taking shots in practice
Rask is pretty close to returning and should start backing up Tim Thomas by the end of the first round.

Chiarelli said that if Horton were cleared, he's a "longshot" to return given that he'd need "a couple weeks" to get ready. #Bruins
Don't expect to see Horton back in the lineup for the rest of the regular season. From the sound of it, he probably won't return in the playoffs either. The power forward scored 17 goals and 32 points in 46 games.
April 8, 2012, 1:09 p.m.
Marty Turco will return home at the end of the week.^BISH
Turco will not be available to play in the playoffs and won't remain with the team.
