All Aboard The David Pastrnak Hype Train. Toot Toot!

Spoiler alert: I think the Bruins have some really, really good writers covering the team. Yes, there are a few bobos out there who think everything is awesome all the time, but there’s a good number of those covering the team who do a fantastic job. That said, most people who are given media credentials and cover the team also rarely go out of their way to say something bad out them.

So when a different team’s media touts a Bruins’ player, I take it with more than a grain of salt. When it comes from the awesome people at Section 303, I give them my full attention.

With the Bruins sending their rookies down to Nashville to partake in a tournament with other rookies from Nashville, Tampa Bay and Florida. The Predatorial named their “All-Rookie Tournament Team” yesterday and a surprising name popped up:

David Pastrnak.

The Predatorial has done a great job covering the tournament and with each day posted some impressions.

Day 1:

• The main thing I took away from game one between the Bruins and Panthers was that, outside of Boston’s David Pastrnak, no one really impressed me. That includes Aaron Ekblad.
• Pastrnak is definitely the real deal for the Bruins. Although he was held off the scoresheet, including failing to convert a penalty shot, Pastrnak made the plays that showed why he was drafted 25th overall in the first round.

Day 2:

• David Pastrnak continues to demonstrate why the Bruins think so highly of him, finding himself all over the ice helping to produce many quality scoring chances for the Bruins.

And then comes where The Predatorial named their “All-Rookie Team”.

F – David Pastrnak (Boston) – arguably the best player on the ice for any of the four teams

I know it is only the rookie tournament but when someone describes you as “the best player on the ice” is a pretty big thing when guys like Aaron Ekblad and highly touted Jonathan Drouin were participating.

I know it is only the rookie tournament, but it is exciting to see a Bruins player getting a lot of praise from people outside of the usual media coverage. It makes it exciting.
