Gabriel Bourque has been one of the more pleasant surprises so far in the 2012 NHL playoffs. Bourque has three goals in four playoff games. "He's been awesome for us," teammate David Legwand said. "He plays the game the right way, hard and straightforward. That's what you need in the playoffs." This is the first time Bourque has participated in the NHL postseason, but he previously won the Guy Lafleur Trophy as the MVP of the QMJHL playoffs. He also had seven points in a single World Junior Championship contest in 2010, which was good enough to tie a Canadian record.
