Bruins forward David Pastrnak woke up on Saturday morning in disbelief after the team made significant trades involving core players Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, and Brandon Carlo. Pastrnak expressed his sadness at losing not only great leaders on the team but also close friends he had played with since the beginning of his career. Despite the emotional blow, Pastrnak stepped up to lead the team as the only player with a letter on his jersey for the game against Tampa Bay.
Pastrnak emphasized the importance of sticking together and continuing to play hard despite the changes. Goalie Jeremy Swayman echoed similar sentiments, acknowledging the impact of the departed players while also recognizing the need to carry on their legacy. The team, with four new players in the lineup, surprised many by delivering a strong 4-0 win against the Lightning.
The players spoke about the emotional rollercoaster they experienced, but also highlighted the resilience and unity within the locker room. They expressed determination to build off the foundation laid by the traded players and continue to push forward as a team.
