  Playing in Providence during the 2012-13 half season lockout, Bruins defenseman Torey Krug became good friends with then teammate Chris Bourque and as a result formed a relationship with Bourque's father, Hall Of Famer Ray Bourque. After a rough first half of the regular season, Krug called on the legendary Bruin seeking advice and Bourque - who made it very clear in the latest Bruins Beat below, that he's a big fan of Krug - gave him one heck of a pep talk. "We've kind of created a little relationship that every once in a while he'll text me or I'll text him on a good game or whatever," Bourque explained. "At some point in time he was in a little funk and he wanted to chat, and we had a nice chat at some point in time.  He's a special player and whenever I speak to him it's 'Hey! You are special; you can do special things. You'll see at times, something might happen, it's a game of mistakes, but you have the ability to make special plays and you cane never, never get away from that! Don't let a bad pass
