Bruins vs Leafs: AKA The Tyler Seguin Show



Wow. First off, the game itself was unreal. Just an awesome effort all around, and it actually lasted the entire game. I know, surprising, right? But that's just a side story. Tyler Seguin scored a hat trick last night. And not just your standard "Hey I tapped in a few rebounds" hat trick, this one was absolutely nasty, as seen in the video. I wonder if he played baseball as a kid... Anyways, here are some of the other highlights:
  • Krejci seems to have found a little bit of balance. He had a goal and a nice assist on the Lucic goal. Maybe he's finally starting to come around.
  • Lucic is an absolute frigging beast. To anyone who says he's a lumbering lard, I say watch his goal. Right off the faceoff after one of Seguin's goals he goes right to the line, catches a pass from Seidenberg and just explodes past the D. Can you say dominant power forward?
  • Timmy looked sharp all night. 24 shots? Compared to what he saw in the playoffs last year, that's like hanging out watching the game while pounding an ice cold natty.
  • Once again, Phil Kessel was Missing in Action. And by that, I mean he was on the ice and he played, but you wouldn't have known it 'cause he played like shit.
  • How in God's name did Seguin score from that deep in the corner? Seriously, who else in the league can do that?
  • That second goal was nothing special. I mean hell, I could've kept my stick below shoulder height while taking a baseball swing at the puck with pinpoint accuracy over the goalie's shoulder. And in case you're too stupid to realize, that was all sarcasm right there. That second goal was Godly.
  • How in hell did Seguin roof the puck with maybe a foot of room? Seriously, this kid is absolutely nasty. Just wait until he hits his prime. I'm seeing at least a 40G-50A player.
On another note, today at practice it looked like Jarvis was giving Seguin some time on the point with Chara while Krejci, Marchand, and Bergeron played down low. Maybe this is something we see in a game? Also, I gave Seguin my card today after practice, so there's a a slight possibility he's reading this right now. So in that case, welcome to The Buzz Tyler! Hopefully you stick around, it might be nice to see what a real fan thinks. Especially since I'm kinda smarter in hockey than most other people.
