Bruins’ David Pastrnak is doing nothing, and the season is at risk because of it

TORONTO — Publicly, when it comes to criticizing his players, Jim Montgomery has kept his verbal arrows to himself for the past two seasons. So when the Boston Bruins coach said the obvious about David Pastrnak after his team’s on Thursday, he practically emptied his quiver into his best player. Advertisement “Pasta needs to step up,” Montgomery said. The Bruins are in one. They are pointed at Choke City again.

Pastrnak is earning $11.25 million annually to threaten every opposing goalie. Instead, he’s making Woll look bigger than the Hoover Dam. Advertisement “There’s nothing that’s gone in that shouldn’t have,” Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said of the former Boston College goalie, who has allowed two goals in two starts. “So it’s given the group confidence. You need that right now.” It may be that in this series, Pastrnak’s scoring sexiness is a bad match for Toronto’s defensive style of play.
