Pastrnak: 'Getting harder' nearing 30 after Bruins' playoff exit

Speaking after the Bruins’ 4-1 Game 6 loss to the Sabres, Pastrnak noted that he has only had "one sniff at the Cup so far" and that the season feels shorter with age. The 29-year-old expressed urgency to win, telling the media, "it’s getting harder every single year." Despite leading the team with seven points in the series, his minus-seven rating highlighted the lack of secondary scoring from Boston.

With the team's last Stanley Cup coming in 2011, the aging core faces mounting pressure to capitalize on their remaining time together. biznow.biz
