I like having 1 or 2 guys around that can play like crap and still score a few easy goals. you wouldnt want a whole team like that, but on his worst ever day pastrnak will still be that for us.
of course, on his best days hes a mega superstar and arguably our top player now. I guess he has been battling some sort of injury and its too bad that hes human and might battle some injuries from time to time
I remember when thornton picked up 0 points in a playoff loss to montreal and kpd and the freakout crowd in boston decided to hang the entire failure on him... that didnt end too well for us as I think thornton took it rather personal and basically quit on the team less than a year later and most of us still think that trade is hurting us to this day
I have been hating all this critism ive seen of pastrnak the last couple weeks... this is why we cant have good things in boston boys and girls. its ok to pull for him to do better... or even point out that he isnt playing his best... but some of the questionable calls to his character or these cries to bench him and throw him on the garbage pile have been absolutely assanine
I hope he will get back to that amazing level we all got used to in the past couple years... but please, even if he continues to struggle through whatever injury is slowing him down try to have a bit more support for our heros.
tonight he showed why, even at half speed he can be a very important asset for us
