Morgan Geekie's stubbornly persistent scoring slump: 'This is the time to show up'
PHILADELPHIA — The Bauer Vapor Flylite, Morgan Geekie’s preferred stick, retails for $369.99. In Sunday’s overtime, Geekie smashed his stick into the Xfinity Mobile Arena glass with enough muscle to separate the blade from the shaft. The Boston Bruins forward had turned an expensive goal-scoring piece into something destined for the trash can.That’s because the goals it once powered have gone away.The moment of Geekie’s anger occurred just after he ripped off his signature snap shot. When the 34-goal man is going right, he lets it fly without hesitation. But in overtime, after walking into the slot for a Grade-A chance, Geekie took a hair too long to lock and load. It allowed Jamie Drysdale to stretch his stick into the shooting lane and deflect Geekie’s shot. The potential winner went harmlessly into the netting.“It was too slow,” Geekie said after the Bruins’ 2-1 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.المصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
