Bruins’ Nikita Zadorov chugs beer “for Boston”

Nikita Zadorov walked into his post-game media scrum on Saturday night with a smirk He was ready for the moment Where s my beer cracked the Bruins big defenseman If you were anywhere near Boston sports-related internet on Friday you d know to what he was referring Zadorov was sitting courtside with David Pastrnak at the Celtics-Lakers contest on Friday night at the Garden and when the camera caught panned on him the big man chugged his whole beer to the delight of the crowd and maybe a wince or two from his bosses But if his exuberant imbibing had a deleterious affect on him it didn t show up in his performance in the B s - win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday Zadorov was all over the ice in posting a plus- with two blocks and a couple of decent scoring chances one of which went off the crossbar Zadorov had a chuckle about the whole thing I went to games ostensibly and the camera was never on me But one time I went with Pasta they put a camera on me and I was like I have to do it for Boston he noted with a laugh It was a cool moment But you ve got to have a guilty battle once in a while and play good I thought I did real good currently
