Yeah, like you said, "doesn't exactly fit the mold", but it's a good look at the subject. Bergeron isn't opposite because the opposite of Bergeron is a big hunk of [coal]...Bergeron - since he came in as an 18 year old 2nd round pick before the lockout (what a sentence!) - has shown world class adaptability.
Need him shut things down? Got it.
Need him to score some goals in close or from near-mid range? Can do.
Need me to keep things moving with a superstar wing? Just point him out and I'll facilitate.
Need me to impart wisdom on a terrific support winger to take him to the next level? I'll read to him every night before bed,
Whether Bergeron has "elite" offensive skills or not, sure, you can make a knock on him there if you want...but he's a super smart player, and Boston fans got a wholesale look at what adaptability means in the NHL. He seamlessly fits in anywhere and everywhere and turns it into a positive for his team.
