This miked video of David Pastrnak after the Game 7 OT goal is great originally appeared in NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Bruins needed David Pastrnak to step up with a key goal in Game 7 of the first round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the superstar right wing delivered at the perfect time.
Pastrnak scored the decisive goal of the series less than two minutes of extra period. Hampus Lindholm fired a perfect pass, allowing Pastrnak to skate into the offensive zone with speed, get the puck and beat Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov with a beautiful move.
The goal sent the Bruins into the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2021. It also prevented the Bruins from squandering a 3-1 series lead for the second straight postseason.
All of these factors, and others, generated an extremely emotional reaction from Bruins fans, players and coaches immediately following Pastrnak’s goal.
Bleacher Report shared a really cool video on Tuesday of a mic’d Pastrnak from Game 7, including sounds of the Bruins’ celebration as well as some of his interactions with Leafs players during the post-series handshake line.
Check out the scenes in the video below:
The Bruins kicked off their second round series against the Florida Panthers in style with a 5-1 win in Game 1 on Monday night. Pastrnak didn’t score, but he had four shots and made some good defensive plays.
Pastrnak is one of the best offensive players in the league, and if the Bruins want to make a deep run in the playoffs, they’ll need a few more moments of brilliance from him.
