David Pastrnak understandably was exhausted Saturday night after the Boston Bruins’ 7-2 obliteration of the St. Louis Blues in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The top-line winger had a goal in the win, but also was one half of a big collision with Blues center Brayden Schenn that resulted in Schenn flipping.
After the game, Pastrnak was asked if he had seen a replay of the hit, to which Pastrnak responded no. Then after a brief pause, he offered this:
“I just want to go to the hotel and have a nice dinner and forget about hockey until tomorrow,” Pastrnak said, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage.
That’s a pretty fair request.
