3 Of 4 Goals From Inside 7 Feet – Boston's Rookie Learned A Job, Not A Secret | James Hagens

James Hagens is tied for the NHL rookie lead with four goals and nine points through twelve games, and three of those four goals came within seven feet of the net. Marco Sturm says the staff has been pushing the rookie to the paint, "This is not college anymore", and Hagens also leads all NHL forwards with sixteen blocked shots. This video separates the "secret" headline from the actual assignment the Bruins gave him, argues what the Ottawa goal from behind the net says about the player Boston drafted, and sets a simple test for his twentieth game. — SOURCES — The Boston Globe, Hagens's grit and observations from the win over San Jose: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/2...
