BOSTON -- Torn rib cartilage in Game 4. A broken rib in Game 5. A separated shoulder in Game 6. Patrice Bergeron played through it all in the Stanley Cup final. And that doesnt include the collapsed lung that the Boston Bruins star learned about after skating up and down the TD Garden ice in the last game, trying in vain to keep the season going. "I dont know if theres pride," Bergeron said Tuesday. "Some people would say its stupid." He was in the hospital last Wednesday when his teammates met reporters for the final time, two days after the season ended with a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in the sixth game. So on Tuesday, he stood at a podium in the Bruins locker room, hands in the pockets of his pink shorts, and matter-of-factly recited his medical record. At least his legs were spared. "Its all good," Bergeron said. "Im 100 per cent (in the) lower body." The stitches sewn at the end of his right eyebrow while he sat on the bench in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Rangers were gone. The red scar on his nose was still visible from the fight he had with Evgeni Malkin in Game 1 of Bostons four-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the conference finals. His spleen checked out OK after an ambulance took him from the United Center during Game 5 of the last round in Chicago. He hadnt been diagnosed with a concussion since the fourth of his career sidelined him for six games in April. But moving on, Patrice, how about next season? No problem. Bergeron said he doesnt need surgery and should be ready for the start of training camp. "I just need," he said, "I guess, a couple weeks." Any of those injuries would have sidelined players in other sports. But Bergeron, one of the NHLs best all-around players, insists he did nothing special to help the Bruins play for their second Stanley Cup title in three years. "You put everything on the line to help your team. Thats basically what I did. Im 100 per cent confident everyone else would have done the same thing," the Bruins alternate captain said. "Theres a lot of really tough guys on our team and I dont feel like I should take all the praise." Bergeron has spent all of his nine NHL seasons with the Bruins. Without him, they likely would have been eliminated in the first round when they trailed the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 with less than 11 minutes left in regulation of an intense Game 7. He tied it with 51 seconds remaining in the third period, then won it with his goal at 6:05 of overtime. He scored another overtime winner in Game 3 against Pittsburgh. Then he had two goals -- and the first since his rash of injuries -- in Game 4 against Chicago. But that was the game in which the centre tore rib cartilage. Early in Game 5, he was hit in the ribs and suffered a crack on the left side. Doctors told him the only way he could play in Game 6 was to get a nerve block that would freeze the area. So he had one -- and needed other pain-killing shots during the game. Bergeron also separated his right shoulder in the first period but played the rest of the way. "I cant remember who it was from their team, but it was in the corner, trying to just battle and I was trying to protect my ribs," he said. "I fell kind of awkwardly in the boards and opened up my shoulder a bit and separated it." As the game went on, he could feel his energy fading. When it ended, he endured the tradition of shaking hands with his opponents and went to the locker room. From there, Bergeron went right to Massachusetts General Hospital, where a puncture was found in the lung. "I kind of had trouble breathing a little bit," he said. "I felt like my chest was closing in on me so the doctors didnt want to take any chances. Theres an X-ray machine (in the locker room), but they couldnt tell, really. It wasnt clear enough for them. They wanted to make sure and, luckily enough, they made the right decision because I went there right away and they found out that my lung had collapsed." General manager Peter Chiarelli said he thought the lung was punctured after the game. "If it had happened during the game, he would have felt the pain and then he wouldnt have been able to play," Chiarelli said last week. At the hospital, a tube was put in his left side for a few days to remove air from the area where the lung collapsed and make sure it stayed inflated, Bergeron said. Some teammates visited him there on Wednesday, the day he was released. "It was actually nice to see a bunch of guys and be able to talk a little bit," he said. While he recovers, he hopes to get an extension of his three-year contract that runs through next season. Bergeron tied for the team lead with nine playoff goals and had 15 points. He led the NHL in winning faceoffs, and he won the Selke Trophy as the leagues top defensive forward the previous season. So hes "very confident" hell get an extension. "It would mean a lot," Bergeron said. "Its a team that believed in me when I was 18 and when I was coming up and now, like I said before, its my home. I feel like it is, and I love the city. I love the people, definitely love the organization." Hed love another Stanley Cup. Thats why he played through the pain. "Theres no regrets on my part," he said. "I did whatever I couldve done to help my team and try to be there for our biggest game of the year."Fake Yeezy Kaufen .

Obviously, without looking at the police reports or the supporting documents I cant say much more than that.The alleged victim told investigators from the Cottonwood Heights (Utah) Police Department that after consuming marijuana and alcohol at a house party, she passed out and awoke to Masina having sex with her July 26, according to the charging documents filed in 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City on Thursday.The document says the woman passed out as this was happening, but again awoke to Masina forcing a sexual act. When she awoke a second time, she said she was in pain and covered in a blanket, wearing only her bra. After calling a friend and his father for help, the next thing she could remember was waking up later in the morning in the front yard of a neighbor, according to the document.An examination of the woman was conducted by a sexual assault nurse examiner.Were not going to, at this point, discuss anything from an evidentiary perspective, other than to say what is in the probable cause statement, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill told ESPN.In an interview with police, Masina admitted to having sex with the woman on the night in question, according to the document.Masina is also under investigation for an earlier sexual assault of the same woman in Los Angeles. The incident allegedly took place at the apartment of USC teammate Don Hill, who is also under investigation for sexual assault.The charging document says the evidence suggests that the Utah incident was neeither a one-time event nor a spontaneous occurrence, and therefore raises concerns about the safety of others with whom the defendant may have contact.ddddddddddddNo charges have been filed as a result of the investigation in Los Angeles, which remains ongoing.Masina was suspended from USC and banned from campus on Friday and given until 6 p.m. Monday to vacate his campus residence, Skordas said.

It is unclear whether Hill will be allowed to continue to attend class.Based on additional information obtained by the university, Osa Masina and Don Hill have been suspended from participation with USC Athletics and the football team, USC said in a statement Tuesday. To protect the rights of the students and comply with federal privacy laws no other details will be provided.The university did not immediately provide additional comment Thursday, when contacted by ESPN.Masina was served with a search warrant on Aug. 25 to collect DNA samples and his cellphone, which he allegedly used to film himself having sex with the woman and later send the video to the womans ex-boyfriend through Snapchat, according to an affidavit.Four days after the search warrant was executed, Helton announced Masina would not travel with the team to Texas to play Alabama, citing a violation of team rules.Hill initially made the trip, but he returned home after details of his alleged involvement became public.
