The Boston Bruins forward seems to keep improving every year and after taking some major steps in the lineup last year, he might find himself a regular second line role this year.

The 26 year old forward had a career best across the board last year in goals, points and assists proving that he is still getting better with every year and the Bruins are hoping for him to make another jump this year.

Geekie spoke to reporters recently about how he feels he can take on a bigger role with the team this upcoming season after how last year went. He added that he knows not everyone loves seeing him get second line minutes but he feels as though he can contribute more if he gets a bigger role.

«Last year, I took a step. I played up in the lineup. I know some people weren't happy with that but I felt that I was someone who could fit in anywhere and I think I can still do that,» said Geekie. «I'm just trying to come in every day and earn my spot. I know I can play this season with Marchy and, despite what some reports say, I think I'm a skilled player. I'm just trying to go out there and grow my game and play well at both ends of the rink.»


The young Bruins forward added that contrary to most athletes Geekie reads everything written about him and knows how much people can rip into him sometimes but he says he uses as fuel.

«I read everything, so it's probably unlike most people, but I know what's said and I use it as a little motivation,» said Geekie. «It's good. It's fun to look at when you're lacking confidence to prove people wrong, for sure.»


After last season, the Bruins will likely give Geekie the opportunities to prove himself but it will be up to him on how long he stays in that second line role throughout the season.
