Yes , obviously the team played well last night and were hungry but part of the reason was how the team was constructed. Tampa had a hard time trying to contain a more balanced Bruin team . They couldn’t just gang up on the perfection line .

The team has been better with him in the lineup. Now that I've seen (and admired) his legs I understand how he plays above his height when it comes to winning battles and protecting the puck. Hard for an opponent to move a guy with that kind of lower body strength. So far he has shown high hockey IQ and makes things happen without forcing anything. He certainly grabbed my attention in preseason, and has done so even more in his 7 games in regular season. +4 in 7 games, 5 pts, and a takeaway/giveaway ration of 5:1. Only playing 10 mins a game as well. He is almost 24 yrs old. No sense in wasting this dude's talent in the AHL. He is making a compelling case for the Bs to do the necessary things to keep him in Boston.

2016 scout report
Steen’s Determination Making Size Forgotten
Undersized forward Oskar Steen has made his debut this season with Swedish club Farjestads BK, his one and only organization he ever played with. He has added six assists in 17 regular season games and played five games in the playoffs. Farjestads has signed him to a contract extension in February and it will be interesting to see how he will do in his first full season in the highest Swedish league next year.
Steen is a working horse who never takes a shift off. His biggest asset is his determination and work ethic, the willingness to do whatever it takes to win the hockey game. He is fearlessly sacrificing his body and laying into shots to block them. He is excellent on penalty kills with positioning himself perfectly in shot lanes. He attacks the opponent puck carriers aggressively when playing shorthanded and is a dangerous weapon when he can steal the puck and start a quick counter attack using his acceleration.
Steen uses his quick skating acceleration to beat opponents and possesses a good top speed while still maintaining the puck. He possesses a decent shot and can rip the puck with a quick shot release. Offensively, he utilizes a strong play around the net and feels comfortable to battle in front of the net for position. He is good in picking up rebounds as he is not afraid to get his nose dirty in traffic areas.
Although Steen is undersized, he is not afraid to battle bigger opponents and goes into board battles if needed. He shows a decent two-way game and does a lot of the little things. He does take his defensive zone responsibilities serious and is a constantly strong contributor in both zones. His compete level is exceptional and he leads by example in many games.

I did indeed. I saw how closely PJ was working with him and knew immediately that there was something special about him.
He went from timid new draftee to semi polished, confident 2 way player in the span of a year. Truly one of those guys who does a complete 180 from their first dev camp to their 2nd.
Providence has served him well.

talk about persistence too, how many years has he been busting his ass in Providence now? 6-7? Many others would have packed it in by now

Drafted in 2016 and played 3 more seasons in Sweden after being drafted and came to Providence in 2019. He played 1 full season and then played the shortened season last year and was at 22 games this year before getting called up.
Blidh has been in Providence for 4 years but spent some time in Boston. Like Steen, he stayed in Sweden for 3 years after being drafted.
Hockey DB says he's played 52 NHL games

love steen, feel like he's what we wanted in JFK in the first place. Sweeney has done a good job getting some NHL players deeper in the draft, i think that's parallel to his first round whiffs too - over confidence in finding those sleepers. But I think he's righted the ship recently especially with Lysell just grabbing the BPA

I think JFK and Steen are totally different players. JFK more a playmaker who could be a Bergeron light, Steener a goalscorer who doesnt get pushed around. Personally I hope we get lucky and Steen can be another Marchand. They share some similarities but its a long way for Steen but he already has more points than Marchy did in his first 20 games
