NHL Top 20 Wings Right Now: #2 David Pastrnak
All right, the man they call pasta in Boston. David Poshern coming in at number two on our top 20 wings right now in the NHL. Deservedly so. Third straight 100 point season for the Boston Bruins. Only other two other bees have ever done that. Bobby or heard of him? Yes. Phil Espazito. Heard of him. Good company. Great company for David Posnock. Speaking of company, a lot of his good company has gone on to either retirements or different teams. the guy what he did last year might have been his best working with is pretty impressive, isn’t it? I think I think it’s been one of the more impressive individual seasons that we’ve seen. I mean, it’s up there with anyone that we’ve seen in the last 10 years plus. I think uh what he did with not much to play with. It was not a good team. Terrible power play. So, it was not a power play merchant. Led the league five on five uh points. Uh he was a oneman. We tal you just talking about Capri off like you’re going in to play Minnesota like you’re it’s all around Carell Capri off. Well, I mean it’s all around David Poster when you’re going to play the Bruins. It didn’t matter, man. That second half he was incredible. Yeah. I mean, and you see that he plays every single game impressively that he he battles through it. Um you see that way he finished trying to drive his team down the down the stretch and trying to get towards the playoffs. Uh he turned Geeky into a elite level scorer and to a nice contract. He can do it all. He He can do it all. He is crafty offensively one-on-one, the tow drags and the slippery moves. We know he’s a volume shooter. Every year it’s McKinnon or Posternok. They take the most shots in the league. Um, and he doesn’t have to have the man advantage. I think this matters. The fact he led the league in five on five points is an incredible number. A lot of wingers on that board, I might add, as well for for guys who don’t drive offense all the time. But he is just one of the purest best offensive players and it’s only going to get harder for him. Yeah. But fortunately for the Boston Bruins, he might be one of the rare guys that he can do it without a super strong supporting cast. He’s so good and so and you’re not going to get it in the top two in the wingers list in the National Hockey League without having a good all-around game. We know about his shot, an elite shot, an incredible shot. He can score some goals. His passing like how do you play? You know what I mean? like you got to be on your toes every second because he’s going to be in that shooting position. He’s so good at masking that shot too that all of a sudden he just curls his wrist and snaps one back door to Morgan Geeki for a tap in. You know what I mean? Like that’s the things he’s so good at passing, so good at shooting. It’s hard to hard to defend. What’s interesting about him too because he does like to float around the weak side and shoot a lot. And I think this year he evolved his game where he said, “You know what? I need to have it on my stick and create for others. Not necessarily just look to convert, but to create for others.” You saw a guy who was able to adjust his game based on not his needs, but his teams and his linemates needs. And does anybody have more fun or at least it looks that way doing it than what he does? Always with the biggest smile on his face. They have a Posternok at number
