It has been a struggle for Boston Bruins leading goal scorer Morgan Geekie lately. After Sunday afternoon’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, he has now gone scoreless in 17 straight games<\/a>. He’s been stuck on 34 goals for a long time.<\/p>\n

Frustration is settling in; you can tell in his play. Who could blame him? You score 34 goals in your first 61 games, it’s going to get to you. He had a couple of chances on Sunday against Dan Vladar, but he was turned aside. <\/p>\n

During the second period, one of the strangest plays happened<\/a>. Actually, it was something that not many have ever seen. Defenseman Charlie McAvoy’s stick broke when he tried a slap shot from the point. As Philadelphia transitioned the other way, McAvoy was skating back to the bench when a stick came flying off the bench and bounced right to McAvoy. It almost looked AI-generated on TV. It really did.<\/p>\n

One linesman blew his whistle, and after a short discussion with the officials, Geekie was slapped with a minor penalty for throwing equipment. Who knew that it was a penalty? Not many Bruins players. As bizarre as it was, Geekie addressed it after the game.<\/p>\n

Again, this was something you never see, and Geekie said after the game that the stick slipped out of his hand.<\/p>\n

“I meant ot just pass it to (McAvoy),” said Geekie<\/a>. “I kind of fumbled it and just accidentally threw it. I mean, it was completely my fault, but I didn’t mean to throw it. I just tried to reach over and hand it, and I just lost the handle on it.”<\/p>\n

It happens, I guess. However, this wasn’t the first time that this has happened to him.<\/p>\n

“I might be my second,” Geekie added. “I had one in Carolina, I think. (I) picked a guy’s stick up off the ground and threw it at him. So no, my second one. This one I didn’t mean to. Last time, I didn’t know the rules, so you’d think I would’ve learned my lesson.”<\/p>\n

As bizarre as it was, file that under something you thought you would never see in a game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been a struggle for Boston Bruins leading goal scorer Morgan Geekie lately.
