1. ‘Marinara mitts’

David Pastrnak is absolutely filthy. There is no other way to describe him. The things he can do with a hockey puck are insane. On Thursday night Pastrnak showed his skills off again.

Pastrnak showed off his silky hands halfway through the first period kicking off the scoring for the Bruins. Words don’t do it justice.

Pasta now has 4 goals and 2 assists on the season and is looking better than he ever has before.

The entire Bruins first line is doing great. Patrice Bergeron scored another goal and seems to be an ageless wonder. The line has scored over half of the team’s points.

Pastrnak has been called out for struggling to be consistent. At times he can go on long scoring droughts where it seems like he will never score again. I don’t think that will be happening this season. It may just be the optimist in me, but I think this will be a career year for Pasta where he may take home some hardware.

It appears that the sauce won’t stop flowing from Pasta anytime soon.
