David Pastrnak Disrespected By The NHL
Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak was disrespected, especially considering the season he had as he finished 11th overall in voting, completely missing the top 10.
Even though the Boston Bruins had a terrible season, Pastrnak was super impressive and deserved a higher finish.
Pastrnak finished the season with 106 points, third most in the entire NHL. Finished fifth in goals (43), and seventh in assists (63) even after losing multiple key teammates during the NHL trade deadline.
The 29-year-old played a massive role for the Bruins, scoring or assisting on 47.7% of the Bruins goals, becoming the third player to do this since 2000 joining McDavid and Draisaitl.
His statistics prove that he deserved to finish in the top 10, but the NHL punished him due to the teams record being 33-39-10.
Pastrnak did get some recognition though as he was named to the Second Team All-Star.
