Player Discussion David Pastrnak

[Bruinswillwin77]

He was on Jumbotron Thursday and was listing ice cream

He did get vanilla & strawberry- and my favorite chocolate chip

But

He said apple - followed by it’s his favorite

I didn’t know they had apple ice cream and to say it’s his favorite is disturbing

Better than ovechkin and his spaghetti with ketchup.

Imagine suggesting trading this guy.

Imagine suggesting trading this guy.

Only after a bad turnover

Imagine suggesting trading this guy.

I desperately want Ovechkin to stop playing in the NHL ASAP so we can start a count down for Pasta to get the all time goal record.

Go own a team in the KHL and play for them please.

 

[Over the volcano]

14 pts in their last 6 games

A Moscow delicacy.

He has to be in consideration for the Hart,Its scary to think where this team would be without him.

I know...How foolish is that?

It's pretty clear a lot of his earlier struggles (if still being PPG is considered struggling) was from the fact he had to essentially revamp his game.

He was always the triggerman, and while his passing was always underrated, he was so clearly not used to having to do everything offensively rather than having somebody to work off of. All that overthinking essentially disappeared and now he's the guy people are working off of. Geekie especially.

While I think the Hart trophy is a bit unrealistic (look at the monster seasons Drai, MacKinnion and shit even Hellebuyck are having) I am glad the people on this board aren't running the team because he would have been traded by the end of November.

I don't get it. I guess maybe in the 70s Pasta would have been moved like Janney? He is never going to win any defensive awards, and he isn't the greatest backchecker, and tries too many high risk plays BUT the guy is pure magic with the puck. I am glad they locked him up long term because he is the type of player that never would have been a Bruin years ago and we'd wonder why we couldn't have anything nice.

 

[goldenblack]

This gear he has is scary.

Can we give Rantanen 14M and put these two on a line?

 

[weaponomega]

Now 3rd in the league in even strength points behind MacKinnon and Draisaitl.

Congrats to David! Love that kid.

And yet, the suggestion was made by more than one person

That means there is more than one stupid person posting on this board, as I have long suspected

I have had my issues with Pasta but he's really won me over this year. He's become a more complete player & a real leader. Trading him would be beyond stupid.

 

[Over the volcano]

What bugs me most about him is that he can do it all and makes it look so easy, makes the rest of the team look incompetent or lazy.

The funny thing I notice when I go to the Bruins games here in NJ and NY he's just so much better than the rest of them he actually has to slow it down it looks. Him with a McDavid or MacKinnon would be worth the price of admission

 

[Kegs]

Pastrnak is literally carrying this teams offence. If they get into the playoffs he deserves the hart.
