Yesterday was David Krejci's day, as he appeared in NHL game number 1000.
But David Pastrnak has known how special his fellow countryman has been for a longtime now. Both from Czechia, Pasta was idolizing Krejci long before he was repping the Spoked B alongside the veteran.
In Monday's 6-0 win over the Flyers, were the two - along with Pavel Zacha - combined for 9 points. Postgame, Pastrnak shared an emotional quote on Krejci.
''He's like my big brother, right? He's 10 years older than me, but at the same time one of the closest friends I've got.''
�'At first, I was idolizing him. As a kid I came into the league young and learning from him every day and now we are one of the closest friends. It's very special and I'm very happy for him and, overall, happy that I've found a friendship with him.''
''Obviously, he's an unbelievable player. He's accomplished a lot in this organization, so he deserves the recognition.''
Goes to show, although quietly, Krejci has been a legend in Boston and his home country.
