""We were by the stick rack and he was just quizzing me about why I changed everything, the color of my tape and whatever," said Geekie after Saturday's morning skate. "He just told me to take it easy and it will come eventually. It was all lighthearted, but he cares a lot and he wants me to produce and wants what's best for the team, so however I can do that is what he's looking for.""
""I think that was maybe an identity I took on the last year or so, so to have someone of his stature and what he's accomplished here kind of relate to me a little, I was able to take a deep breath and rest," said Geekie. "It means a lot. It's definitely important for me as a player to just be able to (realize) everyone goes through it, no matter how good you are.""
Cam Neely approached Morgan Geekie in the Bruins dressing room and quizzed him about changes to his stick tape and routines, urging him to relax and that goals would return. Geekie had been the team's leading goal scorer with 26 goals but endured a 12-game goalless streak before scoring again in Dallas. Geekie previously scored 50 goals during 2025 and signed a six-year, $33 million contract, which altered perceptions of him as a player. Geekie took comfort in Neely's perspective, noting that even top players experience slumps and that continued chance creation should yield goals.
