After the first weekend of the World Cup of Hockey took off in Canada this weekend, the six Bruins players playing in the World Cup tournament are off to a good start. For starters, Team Canada took the win from the Czech Republic in an easy coast to a 6-0 victory. With their top line compromised with Bruins, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand paired with Pittsburgh Penguins standout, Sidney Crosby we can expect some high scoring games out of Team Canada. Maybe we can get Crosby in a black and yellow jersey in the near future? Marchand and Crosby are on the top of the leaderboard after the first official weekend of the tournament kicked off, each with three points under their belts. Marchand sunk a goal of his own with a deflection of Brent Burns shot from the point and also assisted for two points off of each of his linemates. Bergeron ended the weekend with one goal in the first period of play versus Team Czech Republic and finished the night +2 on the ice. As for the rest of the Bruins, Team USA faced a tough loss on Saturday evening to Zdeno Chara and Team Europe being shut out 3-0. Although Chara ended the game with only one shot on net, he was given prime ice time throughout the contest. Bruins, David Backes, who is rostered with Team USA, didn't see much time on the ice during Saturday's game, and it's not looking too promising for Backes for Tuesday night's matchup against Canadian rivals. Tuukka Rask is also scheduled to sit between the posts Tuesday, September 19th as Finland takes on Team Sweden.
