Riley Nash scored his first goal as a Bruin last night.

Here's a Daily Sun article on Ryan O'Byrne, who's finishing his degree this semester. He says he has "kind of a consulting role" with the team but is focused on his classes.

Or as a commmenter on the the video's thread said, "Most disrespectful shootout goal of 2016." It was pretty devious.

I don't see why it's "disrespectful". I guess if he'd put it between his legs before shooting everyone would have said "What a great move.". Devious it was, but isn't that the point in round 10?

That's not a bad term in this context. Basically just saying you have to be super confident to the point of disrespecting the talent your opponent to even try that. But it is a complement to his boldness.

I'm still not sure that he was disrespecting the talent of the goalie. He just made a very different move. Was Mike Legg disrespecting the Minny goalie when he did his "lacrosse goal"? No, I think both just came up with a move that the other team wasn't ready for. The fact that they weren't in the usual playbook means to me that they were thinkers, not that they were disrespectful. But as always, we can disagree.

It's more of a kid thing. It'd be like watching a great goal and saying "that was filthy."

Barstool definitely wasn't putting it down
