WILMINGTONThere was no Patrice Bergeron with the rest of the Bruins when they started practice on Monday morning at Ristuccia Arena, and the two-way center is expected to miss the beginning of the Tampa Bay series no matter when it starts with a mild concussion.Bruins coach Claude Julien said on Sunday that there wont be daily updates on Bergeron as the team moves forward without the Lightning, but Bergerons agent, Kent Hughes, checked in with CSNNE.com and said in an email that hopefully his recovery will be pretty quick.Theres no telling when Bergeron will be feeling good and cleared for skating again after suffering his third concussion in the last 3years, but Hughes had one more piece of good news when asked about his spirits when the agent did speak with him.Pretty good, actually, replied Hughes in an email.A positive sign that Bergerons spirits are good a couple of days later after Peter Chiarelli described the center as despondent immediately after taking the Claude Giroux hit in the third period Friday night.
