Krejci Takes Shot At Bruce Cassidy?
The Boston Bruins will be getting one of their two veteran players back soon as Tuukka Rask gets warmed up in Providence of the AHL.�
However David�Krejci who left the team during the offseason likely won't be back but he admitted recently during an interview he gets requests from his former teammates to come back and he follows the team closely.�
"A couple of [teammates] and other people asked me if I would make the trip back [to Boston]," said Krejci, in an interview with isport.cz this week. "But there's no answer, no one knows her at this point, including me.
"Every time I look at the highlights, I read about what is happening [with the Bruins] in the local newspaper. I know I can't believe everything that is written [in the media]. Anyway, I still watch Boston, I can see the way they play, what they call it, how the Bruins are reported in the media. I think I'm in the picture. In the beginning, the boys did not do very well, which makes sense. Fresh faces always take a while to get used to. But they've gotten up [to speed], hopefully it will work for them."
However those aren't the comments that are making headlines.�
As Krejci watches the team closely, it's shocked him how much he's seen David Pastrnak moved off the first line this season and told reporters head coach�Bruce Cassidy never really gave them a chance to play together.�
"Coach Cassidy rarely let the two of us play together. It had to be so that he split the first line and put Pasta to me. It was a maximum of two matches. Years later, I leave Boston and suddenly it's possible. That struck me," said Krejci to iSport.cz via google translate. "The coach always told me that there was no reason for Pasta's removal from the first line and that it would be as short as possible to distribute the forces. I had to take it. But now Pasta is five or how many matches in the line with Hall and Haula. Strange."
Krejci continues that despite hardly playing together the two had chemistry that worked well and wished he could have played more with him.�
"We were in harmony with Pasta, I dare say that whenever we played together, it suited us and it was useful for the team. Sometimes the coach put us in overtime or four against four, the mutual chemistry was there right away, we were scoring goal," said Krejci. "Now I just think that [Cassidy] could have taken Pasta out of the first one for me and everything could have looked different. But it's the way it is, I don't blame the coach."
