""He's not a high-end offensive player," Felger said of Geekie. "He's not. He got 33 goals last year, contract year. He's just not that guy." "I'm not expecting much from Morgan Geekie," Felger added. The comments came on Oct. 9, one day after the Bruins' season-opening 3-1 win over the Capitals."
"The 27-year-old rifled a one-timer into the upper corner of the net for a power-play goal in the second period (an impressive-looking shot on replay). It was Geekie's 34th goal of the season, a new career-high. It was also the threshold for a seemingly forgotten line delivered months ago by 98.5 The Sports Hub's Michael Felger."
Boston Bruins center Morgan Geekie scored his 34th goal of the season during a power-play opportunity in the second period against the Predators, establishing a new career milestone. This achievement drew attention to comments made by Michael Felger of 98.5 The Sports Hub in October, when Felger expressed skepticism about Geekie's offensive capabilities. Felger had stated that Geekie was not a high-end offensive player and expressed low expectations for his performance, despite Geekie scoring in the season-opening game. Geekie's goal came on an impressive one-timer into the upper corner, demonstrating strong offensive execution and contradicting Felger's earlier assessment of his scoring potential.
