Hammer not nail, I loved it by Pastrnak. Guaranteed there would have been a Bruins injury last night if Lindgren and Trouba continued running around as they did early.
Had a good pinch in the 3rd, and got a 1 timer from about 18 ft out, but shot it in the chest.
Actually it would appear Lindgren is the one who can’t take a hit
Right back atcha, brother.
Bergeron might be in line for a trophy too but who knows.
Yup. Unfortunate that Lindgren was hurt on the play but I’ll kill that penalty any day of the week. Love to see him sticking up for himself.
IMHO, Pasta gets nailed often because he often nails other players, unlike the Crosbys and McDavids of this hockey world.
Look at Ovechkin, one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. He’s always played with a chip on his shoulder and if someone ran him you can expect he’s going to come back just as hard. Love seeing some of that from Pastrnak. Like Foligno said, you kill those all day. Maybe guys will think twice about targeting Pastrnak.
Lindgren isn’t Tom Wilson and if he was still a Bruin, he’d be one of the most popular players on this roster. That hit on Pastrnak is exactly what you WANT your defensemen to do when the opportunity presents itself. Lindgren is what many want Brandon Carlo to become…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.
Keep rotating the younger guys in the bottom 6 unless they really prove they should stay in the lineup. Trade Smith with a pick to make room for McAvoy’s return.
Well said. I had no issue with it and hopefully people don't cry when the tide is turned.
That kids a dog, we’d love him here. If you watched the playoffs last year he was in and out of the trainers room almost every game still laying guys out blocking shots etc. Respect the hell out of his game.
If you told me the team would be at .500 or slightly better after this amount of game with all they have dealt with injury wise, I`d have taken it, what they are doing just opens the door to so many options.
with you there my friend
Yes late hit on Pasta but in my eyes the Lindgren hit on him was just as bad because he drove him into the boards at head level after Pasta was off balance , sure its a bang bang play but Lindgren chose to finish him .
Absolutely. You kill those all day every day. Happily.
I had zero expectations, and no hope for anything better than one and done in the playoffs.
I heard Monty mention load management with players like Foligno already so I am sure Bergeron etc will get a break here & there to .
As he should have. We’d expect no less from our defensemen if that was Panarin on the receiving end…
The officials probably didn't know what to do.....lol Two fights, OMG, how do we handle this?
