Post-Game Talk: GAME 79 - BRUINS 7 Newark 2

Been laser focused on draft picks lately, but gotta feel good for the boys in this one. Congrats to:

Callahan on his first NHL goal
Geekie on 30 goals
Pasta on 100 points
Lysell on his first NHL point
Minten on his first goal as a Bruin

Go Kraken!
You missed JS, he was Rock solid with above 900 save % and both goals were no chance goals. I am optimistic for next season with young guys, new guys, draft, and lots of cash for available UFAs.
 
Pasta has to be in the running for MVP. What he’s doing this season is exactly what the award is for. He probably won’t tho.

No-one is getting near Kucherov and MacKinnon for the Hart. Both have been phenomenal and whoever wins it will thoroughly deserve it. But Pasta has been outstanding in his own right, no question. Put this team on his back, and had crazy production since the New Year. Don't need a trophy to prove that.

Best way to reward him is to put a competitive team back around him next year.

Interesting you bring that up as I was listening to Friedman's podcast 32 Thoughts.
They weren't speaking of Pasta but someone for consideration for the Norris that although having a great season is playing for a non playoff team, thus would get less consideration.
I found that strange.
To be playing on an obviously less talented team then Kucherov, McKinnon, Marner and the like a guy like Pasta would stand out even more so.
 
Beautiful win but now, BAU. The pick is so important to
give the B's the best chance at having their pick of the litter.

Even though he's been injured recently, Draisaitl should still be in the running. 52 goals, 106 points and +32 in less games.

Holy cow, guys. If you play the rookies, they somehow just like, get more comfortable after a few games…
 
Top 5 pick? We don't need no stinkin' top 5 draft pick.

I enjoyed that but I am somewhat ambivalent about the result for obvious reasons.

Now what's the priority ranking? I saw Pasta pick it up but he's acting captain. Who gets the puck if they both want it? Pasta 100 points or Geekie 30 goals for the first time in his career? This should be the top post game question. That, and what did he say in the time out?

Yeah, even with the injury Draisaitl is coming home hot for sure. Can make a good case for him too.

The award tends to favor forwards but I do think that's where it should rightly go this year. Makar and Werenski have been great, Hellebuyck and Vasilevskiy best in net, but those three forwards are probably just a cut above.

Pasta handed it to Geekie
 
Looks like Geekie may have gotten the Puck from his 30th goal. I would of liked to seen him making sure Pasta got it thou, as it was Pasta's 100 point of the season a long with it being his third consective year of 100 points something that had never done before by a Czech born player. In the end thou it truly shows what a Great leader Pasta has become! Give him the C now!!
