Game 6 was not Pasta's best game. He seemed not 100% engaged, imo, like he had been in some of the previous games. There was a play where the Panthers were attacking the B's zone. A FLA player was coming down the left wing, B's Dman was on him but he still could've made a pass to the FLA player charging down the slot. Pasta was trailing that player in the slot. FLA player stops skating, anticipating a pass coming his way possibly. Pasta, a step behind that player, stopped skating too. I was yelling at the TV: keep skating, get in a position to disrupt the play!
Obviously a great offensive talent, and I'm happy to have his goals. When he's engaged, he plays good defensively and is actually fairly physical. I just wish he was a little more consistent in his all-round game.
