Patrice Bergeron beats Roberto Luongo, giving Bruins a 1-0 lead over the Canucks

The Boston Bruins drew first blood in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final.

Centre Patrice Bergeron whacked the puck behind goalie Roberto Luongo on his stick side off the post.

Bergeron's fifth goal of the playoffs came at 14:37 of the first period.

Canucks fans had one highlight before the goal: speedy winger Mason Raymond appeared on the big screen at Rogers Arena, prompting a prolonged applause.

Raymond suffered a fractured vertabrae early in Game 6 after being pushed into the boards by Bruins defenceman Johnny Boychuk.
