Sometimes I wonder if the NHL even realizes it's in the entertainment business.
Post-Game Talk: GAME 67- The B's set their clocks back instead of ahead - St. Louis 5 BRUINS 1
- Thread starter Fenway
- Start date

These are the players that get pressured every game of the season for the most part. The target is on their backs. Stop Pasta from putting up points and you limit the Bruins chances.

Not sure the two topics correlate. I'm frustrated with Monty's decisions. Your saying a top 5 player in the league needs to learn how to stick handle.

The officials conveniently forgot the rules because it was Boston getting shafted on that play. The goal should've counted!

steaming pile of dog poop of a game
The boys looked meh most of the game, so too were the linesmen, total butchered call on the Brazz goal was BS
Onto the next one

A hockey player starts stick handling at 4-5 years old. Works his way through every level. Gets established in the NHL and forgets how to properly handle a damn puck. I saw this on the Discovery Channel. History's Greatest Mysteries. You wonder why Monty ripped his hair out!
Maybe that flu the Leafs have every time they play the Bruins going through the squad.
I have said it before: listening to sports radio is audio doomscrolling and Felger will say things to piss off people so that they tune in and he makes $$$. Similar to cable news shows (which are all about outrage and entertainment) and social media platforms (which are inundated by bots and trolls to stir the outrage pot). People nowadays can't distinguish reality anymore and survive on their manufactured anger and unfortunately act out on it.
David Pastrnak has 41 goals.
The Bruins team has 223 goals.
Pasta is responsible for 18.4% of the Bruins' goal scoring.
Without Pasta's goals, we would be 7 goals behind Buffalo and 2 goals ahead of the Habs and be out of the playoffs.
Brad - 27, Coyle - 21, Zacha and Trent - 17, Geekie and Jake - 15, Heinen and JVR - 11 and the rest of the team is single digits.
Let's all hope Pasta doesn't suffer a big injury.

Coyle is grossly overrated in every aspect of his game other than offensive zone puck control.
He hides his laziness well
Pasta also has 53 assists.

And yet he’s 34th in points for centers, and 20th for 5v5 points for centers. It’s like a magic trick.
Congratulations to your son
And if only points tell the entire story of a player but okay

The point of your post is not lost on me. With no Pasta this team is in real trouble. But so would any team with a Pasta on it.
That said your math isn't right. Someone plays in Pasta's top line RW spot if Pasta isn't in it. Probably Debrusk. So we'd lose about half the goals in the math, not all the goals. So we'd be Calgary or Minny, kind of thing.
The more you know!
Some posters have an agenda. ...That is why we have the ignore feature.
It was Shattenkirk giving it out. He just asked me to be sure the little girl got the stick. He didn't want to just toss it over the glass.
Sometimes a big person grabs stuff meant for the kids. It is so pathetic but happens too often. It pisses off the players.

I'm trying to think of the list of forwards in the NHL better than Pasta today.
I have like 3-4 guys who are. 3 guys in his tier. And then I have guys like Auston Matthews in the tier BENEATH. Most of these players are centers.
And then to make it even more granular, Pasta is a top TWO (at worst 3) winger in the NHL today.
If this is the guy we want to pick at, it's gonna be a long day. Does he have parts of his game that could improve? Yeah sure. But that doesn't change the above. We are dealing with a first ballot HOF trajectory, on route to beat every Bruins record out there (except maybe assists). Let that sink in.

They really need to alter the offside review, man. I'm not just saying that because the Bruins got hosed, either.
- 30 second review (If you're any longer, you're looking for a reason for it not to be a goal)
- Full speed review, don't dumb it down to 200 frames per second on a zoomed in object that looks like one big pixel
- Make the full blue line onside.
- If defending team gains possession, it can no longer be challenged.
It's going to be hilariously sad watching a team clinch a what they thought was a cup victory in overtime. Gear everywhere, giant celebration, fans losing their minds only for it to be challenged and deemed offside by a zoomed in, 200 frame per second pixelated image where the puck appears to be offside by a sesame seed.

I hope this is sarcasm.

Take a look just above him and below him...he's up there with the players everyone would be clamouring over as Bruin first line center considerations.
To me the eye test works best. He's been really good this year. All started when Bergeron and Krejci were injured last year's playoffs. He stepped up big time and I believe the bruins won every game he started as center.

I’m not saying he isn’t a good player ,hell I thought in 2019 he may have been there best player in the playoffs,but consistently is an issue with him hence 64th place.
I dont get how some people want to blame Monty or any coach for the team coming out flat. What is he supposed to do give a rousing speech each game. These guys are pros. Supposed to be ready to play on their own. I get it 82 games snd stinkers happen but its not on the coach. When they come out flying in games no one says Monty got them ready. Then its the players.

I don't really want both as I want Lohrei next to Peeke. We will see what they do.
