Joe Haggerty from CSN joins us on the 18T expert hotline.

Hello, Joe.

What's up, Freddie T? How are you?

Oh, hanging in there, hanging in there.

All right, so what was the deal with Posternak?

What was his problem this series?

One of many things, yes.

Well, I mean, it was his first playoff series.

I think that was a lot of it, and it was a learning experience for him.

I sometimes forget that a player, he's 20 years old because he's been around for three years

and that, you know, he's still got plenty to learn.

And I mean, in that lineup last night, a game six, an elimination game, an important game,

there were nine guys in the Bruins lineup that was their first playoff series.

You know, that's a lot.

And it showed.

Certainly last night, it showed throughout the series.

And it showed for Posternack.

He was missing the net with shots.

He took an unnecessary penalty in OT that led to that game winner.

He was whirling and twirling all over the place.

Yeah, but, you know, and when he goes through bad stretches, that's what he does, right?

He gets too fancy.
