Player Discussion David Pastrnak

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Wish the Bruins were still playing.

But seeing Pasta and Zacha head over to their home country & win gold puts a pretty big smile on my face. Watching some of the videos looks like they're having a time and half and it's much deserved. Enjoy all those Czech Lagers!

Boy. I've watch all Rangers game... and Pasta PO is worth 10 Panarin

 

[Sheppy]

They randomly brought Pasta onto the Chiclets pod yesterday, lol. He's absolutely hilarious.

Guy says some great things on Pasta........

I know it may seem inconceivable, but does Pastrnak have another level?

I don't think so - and that's not a bad thing. 61 or more goals has only been scored in a single season 35 times, and Gretzky/Lemieux are a lot of those. At the time, other than McDavid that season, no one had scored that many goals since 2008. That's a pretty all-time season that will be tough for ANYONE to match. Very, very real chance he'll be the Bruins all-time leading goal scorer, and he'll be top 3 in overall scoring in the next few years. If there's another level, you're talking about an all-time great.

He's set up for success with Lindholm and Zacha the next few seasons. If anything, I'd like to see him be a consistent 50-60 goal guy through his early 30s, and find a way to be a consistent game breaker in the playoffs.

Perhaps. His defensive game is still growing, and he always says he wants to improve his game.

Nailed it.

and this.

Nice job.

Those are the areas he can realistically improve. Both things come from experience and he is still young. He will always be an offensive juggernaut and has been adding to his D game. I would be pleasantly surprised if he ever scores 60 again…but I wonder if the D game continues to develop - along with general earned veteran savvy.

That’s my wish - and that the front office is somehow able to add/develop the last few pieces needed to get back to the SCF as soon as possible .

Sending this to Santa Claus right now.

yeah, I think probably he's hit his high watermark for goals with 61. But I think he'll be a threat to score 50 for the rest of his prime years. He threw some hard hits this year more often than prior seasons, though that's not his normal style of game.

At 28 he probably is what he is. It’s very uncommon for a player to have a bigger impact as he enters his late 20s/early 30s.

People can point to Marchand but that’s an anomaly and it wouldn’t be fair to expect it.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

A little bit better of a PP and upgrade the center and 60 is what you can project for Pasternak. He hit 47 this year despite being badly snakebit and unable to score on the man up the last 1/4 of the season.

If there’s a year he can light a couple guys like Ottawa Korpisalo up for 3-4 goals in October I’d love to see him take a run at 50 in 50.

Welp…he doesn’t have Korpisalo to shoot on this year (except at practice). :-/
