""I'm sure nobody that's interviewing me now thought I was going to score 33 goals last year," the 27-year-old winger said. Geekie's sentiments were about as accurate as the sharp wrist shot that he used to shred opposing defenses last season. Once viewed as more of a bottom-six, ancillary player during past stops in Carolina and Seattle, Geekie has emerged into a legitimate top-six weapon since arriving in Boston."
""I've got nothing to lose," Geekie said of surpassing 30 goals once again. "Like, if I don't, I don't. I think we've got a lot of steps to take as a team before I kind of focus on that. This is a group that I'm super happy with. I love the additions we made and I think a lot of people outside this room don't believe that we can get the job done."
Morgan Geekie endured early mental lows before transforming into a top-six offensive weapon for the Boston Bruins. He scored 33 goals last season, surpassing his previous career high of 17 while frequently skating alongside David Pastrnak. Past stops in Carolina and Seattle cast him as a bottom-six, ancillary player, but his play in Boston produced a breakout scoring season. Geekie said he has 'nothing to lose' about repeating 30-goal production and emphasized team steps and new additions. His 22.0 shooting percentage suggests potential regression, making sustained team offensive support important for future consistency.
