All eyes on you big guy. Now is when it counts.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Slow the game down in your mind 5 v 5 Pasta.

 

[LouJersey]

Didn't have a great game but still had the GWG that's what elites do.

 

[Reds4Life]

I think Pasta has been playing poorly so far in the playoffs. Hopefully he'll get in gear soon.

I think Pasta has been playing poorly so far in the playoffs. Hopefully he'll get in gear soon.

He has been floating more than he was earlier in the season and not playing as aggressively in his own zone. I heard before game 1 that he had just come down with the sickness that has affected much of the team. It's not easy to play at a high level with a stomach bug that apparently is physically draining the Bs (in more ways than one). Could be he has not had as much energy as usual so he is trying to conserve it some on the ice. Away from the puck he has not been his usual self.

I have no doubt he will get in gear soon. Ullmark and Lindholm both looked better in game 3 as they were getting over the illness. Same should happen with Pasta in terms of compete level. Tip of the cap to all the Bs who have played despite being ill.

Shave the ****ing mullet and start playing some god damn hockey

 

[bwunderlich]

If he can not attempt a one-timer, he shouldnt be on the ice on the PP.

He took none in Game 4 and sorta one tonight. Whatever is ailing him (ribs), has him tentative to even attempt a wrister.

This is a guy who has never seen a shot he doesn't like.

 

[Midship]

Overcooked school cafeteria noodles this series. "If Pastrnak gives us half of Tkachuk, we win the series."

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Doesn't seem to happen a lot in the playoffs? "What is wrong with Pasta?"

Shave the ****ing mullet and start playing some god damn hockey

Don’t you dare blame the mullet for Pastrnak’s underwhelming playoff performance!

 

[Shaun]

puck rolls into the net through bobs arm and everyone calls him a hero, he’ll be fine

2 years ago, right? Everyone assumed Pasta was hurt, based on his play, right? He keeps getting hurt in game 82 ....hmmm?

That was nowhere close to going in.

 

[Over the volcano]

Guy is a ppg player in the playoffs and the #1 target for opponents game plan. Water finds its level

 

[Alicat]

Anytime he wants to show up would be great

 

[13Hockey]

Honestly he should have probably 5-7 goals this series he’s finding spaces he just is a little snake bitten

 

[JCRO]

The issue when Pasta is off his game is his turnovers and fluffs with the puck are A LOT more noticeable.

Last night, I thought was far and away his worst game. Everything that could go wrong for him did go wrong for him. Plays died on his stick.

Its for sure mental. And hes driving me mental... But he will get out of it.

 

[SonnyBoy]

About 90% of people who follow hockey and especially who are in the NHL or are in management would take Pasta over Tkachuk. Probably more, as evidenced by recent surveys done by ESPN, The Athletic and others.

Well I'm sorry because me and those 10% seem to be right.

 

[SonnyBoy]

I would take the guy who is over a point per game in the playoffs over the guy who is about half a point per game in the playoffs yes.

How is that going then. Pasta sure has been on fire. But he sure is so cute when he smiles. True playoff warrior. Maybe we can play again someday team that won't tackle so Pasta can score those 4-0 and 4-1 goals that won't matter.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Well I'm sorry because me and those 10% seem to be right.

I'd still take Pasta although Tkachuk's last season with a +57 blows away even Bergys best +/- year at +38.

That meens so much in playoffs. Maybe Bruins can have Pasta +57 trophy and then whole Boston can celebrate he's excellent performance.
