I don’t think dekes watches hockey tbh. He has to just sit infront of numbers and make assumptions on them. Anyone with eyes watching our series wouldn’t call pasta soft
Even tonight pastrnak laid out reinhart with a big reverse hit
Pasta took 5 hits that were jaw dropping, If Marner or nylander took one of those they would stop playing the series and go home to cry.
He laid Tavares out too
Pastrnak is only matched by matthews(when he feels like it) physically
Spot on. Not only the hits, but he goes straight to the net from the corner, eats what he needs to eat to make a play.
I would only add that while Matthews is definitely the one that can match it, he is bigger/taller player.
Pasta is Marner height but not skipping leg days in the gym.
It's funny, we assume he is as big as Matthews, because he plays like it.. Watch them standing next to each other in the handshake line.
Pasta, as stupid as it was, fought in NHL and messed his hand on someone's helmet .. I can't even imagine our players fighting...
