Tried without success to post the video from NHL Network online of Ryder's goal late in period 2. The pass from the left wing boards by Seguin to Kelly was a better hockey play than the breakaway goal, although not as pretty. The main video link is here, select Michael Ryder at 19:41 in 2nd.

Many thanks, kokaku. According to Seguin, that pass to Kelly off the left wing boards was made after a quick look confirmed that Kelly would be coming through the slot, but at the time of the pass it was "no look". The time spent up in the stands by Seguin looks like it has paid off. Had the Bruins played him as a regular through the season, he would probably have developed bad habits that might have needed years to eradicate. By sitting and watching, making his mistakes in a few less important games, and getting lots of practice time, he has learned the right way to do things.

Sweet goal by rookie Tyler Seguin in last nights Bruins/Lightning game. He finally got a start with Bergeron sitting from a concussion and has scored 3 goals and has 2 assists in 2 games.
