David Pastrnak shares why this season is a little more special to him (VIDEO)
Perhaps nobody on the Boston Bruins has the chance to have a massive 2022-23 season than David Pastrnak.
Whether he starts the season with a brand new extension or not, Pasta has his goal-scoring consistency and reputation to live up to. But as he recently shared during media coverage, this season is more special than ever for another reason.
And that's country-mate and good friend David Krejci. As per Pastrnak:
Pastrnak and Krejci played together for Team Czechia at the IIHF World Championships after the Bruins were eliminated from the 2022 postseason. The two teammates didn't miss a beat and had instant chemistry throughout the tournament, helping their country win a bronze medal.
In 10 games (7 for Pasta), the two combined for 10 goals and 12 assists. In their first preseason game on Wednesday, Pasta finished with 1 goal and 2 assists, Krejci with 1 goal and 1 assist, and their third linemate, Pavel Zacha, also had 1 goal and 2 assists.
Being able to play with two players that also come from Czechia could elevate Pasta's game this season even more. I would bet on a monster season from the five-time 30-plus goal scorer.
