It was definitely a late hit, but at least Pastrnak didn't target the head or, ahem, use the boards to *legally* try to separate someone from the game. I'm actually a little surprised that resulted in an injury to Lindgren. The shoulder hit on Frederic was devastating. A great check, actually.
Its also incredibly noticeable how much harder he is to knock off the puck this year. Even in his rocket winning year, it didn’t take much physically to separate him from the puck. This year, he’s much better along the boards and in transition. Looks much, much stronger and many of his scoring plays have shown it.
Totally agree. Hope Lindgren is alright, seemed fairly innocent, but didn't see it coming. I like that Schneider kid, had a couple solid hits that shift that were hard and clean. I liked the way the Bruins responded even more.
I am sure they won't be able to keep this up.....well who knows?
I don’t mind listening to the occasional game on the radio . It’s a nice change of pace but most people wouldn’t want to do it regularly.

VICTORY COOKIES!!!!
I think even the most optimistic poster might have expected .600 at best with all the injuries. Just incredible.
He’s so much bigger than when he broke into the league, I love seeing him play with some chippiness
I agree completely.
And it was f***in beautiful
I'm wrong about a lot ... but was really vocal about why it was a very good, very needed signing.
thats what Lauko called him after his goal.such a perfect nick name
The Boston area crow population is getting smaller by the day
Please tell me you are joking......
He is falling down in his own a lot less too.Its also incredibly noticeable how much harder he is to knock off the puck this year.

He’s no Marchand along the boards but there is hope for him yet.
Touch my stuff. I’ll kill ya!Please tell me you are joking......
Was it late? Yes.
Was it blindside?
Lindgren is a tough boy but he's no rookie. You bang Pasta and Bergie against the boards hard like that you should not only anticipate but should expect ALL reactions.
If you skate around the rink when Tom Wilson is on the ice and don't have your head up, it might not work out well. You nail Pasta and Bergie early in a game -- might want to use your peripheral vision and be alert.
If Lindgren were a caveman, his DNA would have left the gene pool last night.
it was pretty much a blindside hit. Pasta was trailing the play.Please tell me you are joking......

Thank god the days of “retaliate on the scoreboard” are gone. I don’t miss Cassidy’s brand of hockey at all.
I hoped they'd stay around .500 through Oct/Nov while waiting on Mac/Marchand to return.
I downloaded the 98.5 app just so I could listen to the games at my cabin, I like listening to them because they call the game like it should be called. Most other teams radio personalities are such homers , Sirott and Beers obviously lean Bruins but always talk about the other team in a fair manner. They are by far 2 of my favorite radio sports personalities.
