Do you think David Pastrnak is underrated around the NHL?
My fear with Mitten is if he and Connor Bedard are as close as I hear does Bedard nag the Hawks to acquire him?
The OT winner reminded me of the 3 Man Weave warm up drill in basketball, it was beautiful
Two (I'm am excellent mathematician!) Of the VERY BEST Bruins coveragers. I was extremely happy to wake up and see this in my feed. Evan rules and obviously I'm here watching Court's show so, yes he rules too. Great job guys. Fun stuff.
I listen to nhl radio watch listen to sn tsn. No one talks about 88 so underatted around the league .steve koulus on nhl radio is the exception
Pastrnak is currently on his best all-time points/game this season first time being above 1.4 pt/gp 😍
canadian and american players always get talked about more than europeans. even jagr barely got talked about at the time compared to someone like lindros.
Can't help feeling tonight, Poitras is more an audition for potential trade partners, then it is an emergency call up to replace Elias Lindholm.
Great video 🙂
We are NOT a contender. Anderson was not going to make us one.
Lets not move draft picks unless its a non-brainer and sorry Anderson was not that.
Its fantastic our younger guys are really stepping up. Leave the guys in Providence to season even more and then after moving a few guys out in the off season, we bring a couple of them in next year and give them a REAL shot.
I think Poitras is being brought up to showcase him a bit for more trade options.
We are on the right course. We are building a solid core group and adding some fresh new top picks in the future may bring us back to being a cup contender for years to come …again.
Pastrnak is DEFINITELY underrated. To me he is a top 3-5 player. He doesn't get enough credit league wide. He's had a few seasons where he was about 40 points ahead of the B's 2nd leading scorer. A guy like Draisaitl is great, there's no doubt, but look who he plays with! Most of the guys who are considered top 5 have another great player on their line. Pasta puts up these numbers ALONE. the percentage of B's goals that Pasta has a point on has got to be one of the highest in the league. We are lucky AF to have Pasta and be able to watch this SUPERSTAR game after game. And he is tough too. He's no pushover. I get angry when shows list the top players and Pasta is down near 10, as far down as 15. That's nuts. Imagine if he were on a line with McDavid. I think they'd both have 200 points. Lol Seriously Pasta is a one in a lifetime type superstar.
Not at all, because he simply fades in the playoffs because he's soft as puppy sh*T, unfortunately. The hits get big, he shrinks
Given, that he was able to score 100+ points on a bottom of the barrel team, one can only wonder what he could do on a line with a Draisaitl, a McKinnon, or a McDavid. His ceiling would be probably towards the 150 pts. mark. Just one more player like him on the same line would make that line unplayable.
And the best part about it is, that it's pure head and hands. He's not the biggest guy, he isn't even particularly fast (I was surprised how low he rates at top speed and burst), he has a hard shot, but not a top10 hardest. It's just his vision and creativity. Which bodes well for his longevity. He doesn't rely on that which players lose early.
Absolutely he is underated.
I hate to see Arvy go. Wish he was in his mid 20's 😢
He's Boston's best pure sharpshooter since Rick Middleton.
Interesting perspective I think. I was in Florida on snd off during the 2019-20 season. And talking hockey with a lightning fan he said to me “ you guys have the most exciting line in hockey right now” meaning Bergie,pasta, Marchand. I was legit taken aback by that i think I actually said something like really? And he pointed out that I was maybe jaded because I saw them every day. So I didn’t appreciate them like I should. And he was kinda right. We got used to bergie being amazing at everything and Marchand’s edge and Pasta’s skill. I think that still happens around here with pasta
I can remember when they had to decide to pay Pasternak. My thoughts were if they let him leave, I’m done with the Bruins. I don’t care how people rag on him for turnovers and a liability in defense- Pasta is an elite 50 goal scorer who happens to be a great team mate and human being. Quite honestly I’m still puzzled as to why Pasternak is not the Captain.
What is hilarious is reading and listening to Maple Loaf-minded cultists who swear they wouldn't rather have Pasta over Nylander because Number 88 is "soft." Two guys who have noticeably bought into Sturm's edit of physical play are Panel Zacha and Pastrnak. Nylander wouldn't know a hit if he tripped over it at his own blue line.
He definitely is I say it all the time. He’s also a great person in general always positive in interviews and when he goes on shows. I think it’s because he’s a Boston bruin and everyone hates on us
Bottom line is everyone Pasta plays with has success.
Lets hope bruins mangement doesnt do pasta dirty like trading him like how they did with marchand
Pasta IS under rated. He is a star player yet. He still does it all, including getting into fights and hitting. Yet still isn’t recognized as a superstar that he is!
