Please stop: Benching David Pastrnak would be absolutely ridiculous
Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty ImagesThere were rumblings early in the Toronto series.
They weren’t widespread, but they were there: “What is Pastrnak doing? What is wrong with Pastrnak? Pastrnak has been horrible. Someone please wake Pastrnak up.” Those are, of course, generic takes that come from a variety of sources, born of the same frustrations, but we all know at least somebody who truly holds these opinions.
And yeah, it hasn’t been a great postseason for David Pastrnak. He was stymied in the first round against Toronto, and has had his fair share of frustrations during the first couple games in Round 2.
