Player Discussion David Pastrnak XI

[PlayMakers]

I thought Pasta made Schenn look foolish when he took that run at him. I hope the B's took note though, Schenn has a history of targeting the other team's best players with dangerous hits to try to get them out of the series.

Is that what happened there? Schenn tried to lay him out but Pastrnak got away from it? It was confusing and weird.

That’s the whole point of hitting in hockey isn’t it? Woulda been a totally clean hit.

Uh no, that's not the point of hitting in hockey. The point is to separate the player from the puck not the player from the game.

 

[DominicT]

LMFAO

That’s supposed to be the point. But the league definitely allows players to change direction to “finish a check” after the puck is gone.

No, it’s not. The point of a hit isn’t to injure, it’s to create a turnover.

embarrassing that Pasta pulled a "hamilton" yesterday

what are you doing?

then Blues see blood in the water

Pasta does that one more time and Cassidy should bench him. That has no place in Bruins hockey or hockey period. Come on Pasta you are better than that

The Blues D man on that play wasn't even looking at the puck was just trying to line up Pasternak which Pasternak saw. IDK there was no real play to be made there.

Serious question;

Do you think these things during the game when you see them or wait to listen to 10 hours of talk radio?

I saw it

did you??

thats all that matters

If you want to accept that type of "turtling" go ahead.... I won't. And Bruins can't if they want to beat these Blues

 

[KnightofBoston]

Yea I saw it, it’s a problem.

But it’s kind of a nothing take and not the real issue.

pasta could do that and still score goals and it wouldn’t mean much anymore. The real problem is he isn’t scoring

I'm not shocked he's skating with his head up, he doesn't have a lot of protection on that line and he avoided a HR hit earlier in the series

 

[pkunit]

Pasta is taking this game!

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Pasta is taking this game!

If Pasta wants to take this game... he needs to get his nose dirty..! HE is avoiding all kind of dirty area. He needs to play PO hockey! He can do it though

 

[Salem13]

Game seven and he looked like someone sawed two inches off his stuck and didn't tell him. He wiffed on just about everything you can do with a stick.

Yeah it was sad ,it was also sad that they kept feeding him the puck.

Yeah, they may as well have been passing it to open air. I like Pasta, but what on earth is/was wrong with him this playoffs?

 

[DarrenBanks56]

hopefully something bad.

 

[24 others]

He says, in an NBC interview that he got hit in his thumb in the CJB series (that thumb which made him lose games in the regular season) and it "didn't feel the same" since that. But then he quickly denies that this had an effect on his performance.

So, we still don't know. But I do love this hockey ethos.... 'tis but a scratch!

 

[The National]

So are we correct to blame Pasta’s poor playoff performance on his drunken hand?

 

[ODAAT]

LMFAO

the players must just roll their eyes when they see Haggs approaching to ask one of his hard hitting questions

he stated he needs to get more mentally tough which I liked, the kid recognized that aspect, have to respect him for not using the injury as an excuse although he did touch on the fact that his one timing just wasn`t there and we all saw it, you don`t go from a guy who`s virtually a shoe in to either bury those or make a goalie work for a save prior to the injury to one who fanned on more one time chances than we have become accustomed to

Well hopefully he learns from this experience, which I think he will. Hope the hand gets fully healed for the fall.

 

[Over the volcano]

Pretty good spot to be when you have a playoff point per game 22 year old who’s hopefully learned from the experience and won’t have such a poor performance in the future.
