Full quote from St. Louis:
“My favourite people are the people that are 100 percenters. In anything you do in life, you’re only going to be the best if you give it 100 per cent. You want to be a good dad? It’s not about being 100 per-cent present, but when you’re present you have to be 100 per-cent there. So for me, they’re with their family, be 100 per-cent there. They’re here, they’re taking the time--enjoy that. We’re going to play tomorrow, find the pockets that you can enjoy the family and be with them. This is great. These people are a big part of their lives, they’re supportive. Being a wife, a dad, a mom, whatever it is, a kid from a professional athlete, it comes at a price.
"But when the game starts, you’ve got to be 100 per-cent there.
"So to me, you want to find any success in life, be a 100 percenter."
Martin St. Louis on fire at his Heritage Classic presser.
“You want to find any success in life, be a 100 percenter,” he says.
Emphasized how his players should be 100% present with their families right now—the people who have made great sacrifices for them to realize their dreams—and then be 100% there for the game tomorrow.
Big Swayman save on Will Smith after the B's turned it over and allowed the Sharks forward to get to the net deep in the Bruins zone
Fraser Minten buries the rebound on a power play to make it a 5-3 game. Second PP unit is looking good. Bruins pulling away late in the third period
Bruins get another one right away. James Hagens buries one at the net after Elias Lindholm had his scoring bid poked away from him. Hagens crashing the net for that one. 4-3 Bruins
David Pastrnak comes out of the box and gets a cross ice pass from JJ Peterka and steams one past the San Jose netminder. Bruins tie it up 3-3 on Pastrnak's 427th career NHL goal that ties him with Patrice Bergeron for third on Boston's all-time list
With the Dmitry Orlov bomb the Bruins have allowed two PP goals and a shorthanded goal to trail the Sharks 3-2. Not a good special teams night at all for them & the B's keep taking penalties
Mark Kastelic buried Michael Kesselring and then two players drop the gloves. Could be boarding as the refs hand when up for a penalty. Kastelic got the better of Kesselring in the fight.
Rough, rough turnover for Lindholm and it turns into a shorthanded goal for Sherwood and San Jose. 2-2 game.
Three more blocked shots for James Hagens tonight. Amazingly, Hagens is tied with Will Borgen for the team lead on the Boston Bruins with 16 blocked shots in 11 games this season. That is not something I expected at all going into this season
David Pastrnak with another one off a Predators defender's stick. A lot of Boston's offense coming directly from traffic in front of the net tonight. 6-0 Bruins on 88's second goal of the game
Puck took a weird bounce off the post after a soft rebound off the end boards. Nashville goalie didn't cover it and Mark Kastelic popped in the easy backhander. 5-0 Bruins
JJ Peterka on a second effort after the first shot hit the post. He is getting some quality looks tonight. 4-0 Bruins
