This must be a goal. Completely abandoned gate and David Pastrňák, a famous gunner, not far from the puck. But the Czech striker in Boston did not change the opportunity to amaze the entire NHL …

The Bruins played the fourth game of the 2nd round of the playoffs with the Islanders. In a goalless state, Pastrňák got a pass in a great position.
Havířovský, a native who put a hat-trick in the opening match of the series, was not attacked by anyone and had plenty of time to aim precisely at an empty goal, but he threw a huge chance with a shot on his knees and threw without preparation.
The puck hit the stick, the opponent’s goalkeeper then hid it under the catch and the unfortunate Pastrňák put his head into gloves.
Social networks were immediately flooded with astonished comments. How could he miss this? agreed their writers.
Boston coach Bruce Cassidy didn’t believe it either. “When something like this happens to your best player, you suspect that a difficult evening awaits you. It occurs to you that the reflections are probably not on your side and you have to blackmail them,” he sighed.
However, his charges got into the lead and Pastrňák made some of his failure. In the 24th minute, he was at the birth of the first goal of the match, after his blocked shot, a barrier arose in front of the goal and Krejčí from the right side of the finish with his premiere shot in this year’s play-off opened the score.
The Islanders took the coaching challenge to defend Brad Marchand from goalkeeper Semyon Varlamov, but the goal paid off. Pastrňák scored eleventh point (5 + 6) in this year’s playoffs, Krejčí sixth (1 + 5).
David Krejčí’s shot:
But in the end, the victory was celebrated by the team from New York, after winning 4: 1 he leveled the series to 2: 2.
The main architect of the turn was Matthew Barzal, after whose pass Kyle Palmieri called close from behind the goal. Barzal pulled a real crowd pleaser as he, after 54 minutes, wove through the guests’ entire central defense and put the 1 – 0 equalizer away. The remaining two goals were scored by Goy Cizikas and Jean-Gabriel Pageau without a goalkeeper.
“This match was extremely important, because going to their hall at 1: 3 would be critical,” Barzal warned. “It’s a team win, everyone contributed somehow. Some scored, others collided, others defended well. Everyone did something positive for the team, and that’s why we won,” he said modestly, honoring the biggest star of the match.
“I lacked a greater desire on the part of the players today to get the puck into the goal, we didn’t shoot much, that’s why we lost,” Bruins Cassidy was angry.
