Griffith Filling The Net And The Highlight Reel
From his Bobby Orr-esque goal earlier this season, to his between the legs effort, and most recently, his poke in goal against Carolina, Griffith is not only scoring, he’s making his goals look good in the process.
“I think that that whole effort, from the time he blocked it, to picking up some speed and really battling hard between the two Ds, and then staying on it — that last effort there, of using his stick between his legs there to bank that puck in, it was a great effort,” said Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julian on the Bruins’ website about Griffith’s spectacular between the legs goal against the New Jersey Devils, that started with a blocked shot, followed by Griffith beating two defenders and finishing between his legs.
The goal, won multiple nights of voting on TSN’s 1v1, which pegs top highlights against each other for viewer voting.
The Wallaceburg, Ontario resident now has 5 goals and 2 assists for 7 points in his first 15 NHL games.
Griffith and the Bruins are back in action Tuesday, November 18 when they host the St. Louis Blues.
