Morning Skate: Blame game

Friday!!!!! You made it.

The Bruins play their exhibition game in just six days, and the biggest question at the moment appears to be whether or not David Pastrnak (and Ondrej Kase) will be present.

You can sense the long knives starting to come out for Pastrnak in the Boston media, though the resuming of other sports will probably help take some of the heat away.

(That, and the Mookie Betts deal. The Red Sox, man. Unbelievable.)

The “Does Pastrnak Take The Game Seriously Enough???” columns are likely being written as we speak, so buckle up.

What’s on tap for today?

Today’s highlight

We (I...wow, I’ve been around here for a while) featured this video on this website several years ago, but let’s revisit it! This is, essentially, Swedish Cribs, filmed when Pastrnak was a teenager playing for Sodertalje SK.

Ah, that fridge.

Today’s discussion topic

Which of the qualifying-round series do you think has the best shot of being an upset, and why?
