Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak avoided Paul Bissonnette's question

During a segment on "NHL on TNT," Boston Bruins star David Pastrnak showed quick thinking when Paul Bissonnette asked a tough question.

Bissonnette mentioned a comment Pastrnak had made at the NHL Media Day. On that occasion, Pastrnak had jokingly said that Bissonnette should be replaced.

Bissonnette then asked:

"Who would be your dream panel member to replace me?"

Pastrnak skillfully dodged the question. He said it was his first interview since summer and that his English was a bit off.

“I lost you totally there, Biz,” Pastrnak replied. “So I guess we can move on to the next question.”

This moment displayed Pastrnak’s humor and charm. He showed he can handle tricky situations well while giving fans a peek at his personality off the ice.
