You have got to see this team goal that was just juggled over the goal line and scored by the
Boston Bruins. It starts with Marchand winning a board battle as he gets the puck over to Bergeron.
Bergeron then kicks the puck in the air and yes, kicks it into the air. Then, as it's flying,
bats it towards Pasternak. Pasternak catches it in the air while skating across the blue line,
drops the puck, and enters the zone. He then finds Brad Marchand who dishes it back to Bergeron who
an extended juggling give and go. I can't say I've ever really seen anything like this before.
Occasionally, you'll see a player juggle it over the line. McDavid, for example,
has juggled the puck a few times while skating down ice, but this was completely different.
Regarding legality, there's nothing in the rules that prevents this. Obviously,
you can't hit the puck with a high stick, but otherwise, you can juggle the puck as much as
you can. The difficulty will be when an opponent decides to knock the puck off your stick.
That goal would put the game away for the Bruins late in the third, putting them up 3-1
on the goat-headed Sabres. The Bruins are off to a wild start at 13-2. Sportsnet stats actually
tweeted that this is the first time the Bruins have gotten 13 wins in their first 15 games since
the 1929-1930 season. That's a whole World War ago. Right now, they're on pace for an absolutely
insane 142 points this season. We're a fifth of the way through. This isn't a surprise.
For me, the Bruins are probably, maybe aside for New Jersey, my biggest shocker this season. But
with losses to Toronto and Ottawa, the only thing that seems to be stopping the Bruins is the
province of Ontario. I've got a feeling that might not last as well. Also worth noting, right now,
the Bruins have the best goal differential in the league by a good margin. They haven't lost at home
yet. They've put up the second fewest goals against, even with two more games over the number
one team, Winnipeg. That being said, if you really dig into it, their advanced stats are still good,
but not quite as good. They're scoring more and letting in fewer goals than expected. Their
advanced shooting and possession stats aren't great. But hey, that's why advanced stats are
advanced stats, and the Bruins are certainly passing the eye test, as we saw with this.
How long can they keep this play up? Who knows? Maybe they'll get cold, maybe not.
