Player Discussion David Pastrnak IV

[Gee Wally]

Skating, balance , shot and not afraid to get hit....the kid has a bit of Rick Middleton in him.

with or without the smokes Wally?

Actually, shouldn`t say that, have no idea if Slick Rick was a smoker, just watched that hair flow until he lost it and assumed

He was.

But kids today (mostly) are smarter.

I forget which Bruin it was, but I distinctly remember one telling the story that the most disgusting thing he ever saw in a locker room was Nifty's nicotine stained mouth guard. I guess he wore the same one all year and by the playoffs it looked like a hunk of cancerous lung.

 

[DKH]

I think he plays exactly like voracek

Not bad

When Pasta got smoked a few games back in the offensive zone boards and they commented he was slow to get back to bench and the TV showed him crossing the ice is it me or should we be concerned the C word? Sometimes can show up later

Im wondering if it is that or it seemed, i think the next game, he got checked and hit his hip/ leg in a strange manner.

Voracek is bigger , taller

Also will crash to the net to score some ugly ones... Pasta is not really like this


Mike Cammalleri comparison is pretty close no? Similar size, good skater, pretty good shot, goal scorer mentality, underrated mid/defensive game, plays with a little edge

Cammy is 5'9, 185... years after he was drafted.

Voracek was 6'1, 185 when he was drafted. Age and working on his bulk has put him at 6'2, 210 now.

Pasta was 6', 170 when he was drafted. A couple of years later, he's 6'1, 180.

I think he'll play around Seguin's weight in about 4 years ( 200 pounds ); they both seem to have similar body types. So yes, he's not quite as sturdy/stout as Voracek, but he's bigger than Cammy.

I hope it's hip or leg - I'm sure we will find out

Yea i really don't want to see him( or anyone) start getting concussions, especially this early in a career, I know he had one that was part of the reason he fell so far in his draft year.

It also is why JFK made it to Boston and probably why Konecny made it to 24 and Flyers

So concussions are good early in the career if they allow skilled players to fall to middling borderline playoff teams, Gotcha.

I dont know , Pasta is listed as 6'0 on the nhl website

But you are right about JV and Cammy height/weight

Maybe if Pasta adds 10 more pounds he may crash the net more and play more like JV

But for now Cammy comparison is ok imo. Excelling in transition hockey, creating odd man rushes and whipping shots from the faceoff circle

What I know for sure is that Pasta is no Hemsky

 

[Babula]

agreed. al dente

only that they hide it better

Not a leg.

Who knows.

 

[SpitfireIX]

The team should have to announce if its a concussion. The NHL should make that a rule in order to ensure that the player follows the proper protocol. Not talking as a fan here just as someone who wants to see the right thing done when it comes to head injuries. I know that they like to protect players from being targeted down the road but it is important that the league do a better job of monitoring concussion protocol.

Sucks that he is out because it sure makes the team less fun to watch. We basically have Bergy, Marchy and Tuuka to watch and for Tuuka's case I would like him to have an easy night.

I have no idea what you are talking about but it doesn't sound nice and will never have to ever again

 

[DKH]

Ty Anderson said Pasta was out skating after practice good news

 

[DRL]

Likely back tomorrow or still a few days away?

 

[Gee Wally]

Sunday’s late-morning workout at Warrior Ice Arena in Brighton brought only 11 players to the ice. David Pastrnak, who missed his second straight game Saturday due to an upper-body injury, skated on his own before his teammates hit the ice.

Julien reiterated that Pastrnak, the club’s top goal scorer (10), remains day-to-day and would not venture a guess as to whether he might play Tuesday against St. Louis.

“He skated today,†Julien said, “so I guess that means he is getting closer to joining the team.â€

Poor joke about concussions allowing skilled players to fall to us in the draft.

Obviously we all want the kid back as soon as possible but until he can play pain free, I think we all agree he's better off the ice. We'll soon have him back, we just need a little patience and that's something I dearly lack.

 

[Gordoff]

Upper body means anything north of the beltline so, separated shoulder?

 

[dup7]

my guess is north of the neckline....
