Mathew Barzal

HFBoards, well I exaggerated with the word hate but he's been on par with Cam Ward thus far this season in terms of inconsistency. Winning in spite of their goaltending is what seems to be happening down in Carolina.

Pretty sure his taco commercial made up for all the goals against him.

I'm lacking about 5 tacos right now. Starving,

I'd rather the Avs get him than the Hawks tbh. Avs are fun to watch and I'm so goddamn tired of Chicago. Still can't believe they jumped up, &^@#ing garbage. 

I wish he actually fell to Vancouver. 

It would be nice to have a potential all star play for the city. 

Definitely would have been nice to have a bonafide number one stallion to call our own. Oh well.

Huh?

You can't coach a competitive spirit into a guy.  Can't wait to see Petey in the playoffs with how much he obviously hates to lose. 

Marner and Reilly are the only ones who cares.

I feel bad for them.

prime time saliva dump?

@Ghostsof1915 I think he meant it triggered his PTSD.

well at least it wasn't PSTD

big buff's contract is a boat anchor, he's not going anywhere. 

The Maple Fleas have a legitimate buzz

They're unreal. It's truly impressive how skilled they are. 

Friggin' draft lottery, he had to be a Leaf and not a Canuck.

Finals needs more Sharks.

But that was a good game between 2 teams that could easily meet in the playoffs.

I would have to agree. Back and forth. Both teams defending well. Patty Kane was the difference!

Panik at the disco Madhouse on Madison. 

Citizen Kane.

What is AMA and what is Reddit? Please explain to some of our older fans here thx

^ Reddit is a forum akin to CDC except it covers anything and everything. If you can think of a topic there's a 'subreddit' or 'CDC' for it. 

The Florida Panthers have an account on the hockey subreddit and are hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) live with McCann. Basically a period where you can ask him whatever you want and he'll answer to the best of his ability.

Thanks for the info!

lol Oilers gonna Oiler.

Coilers gonna coil.

Can't say that I blame him, it is Edmonton after all.

I can't shake the feeling he'll be picked before 5th, so I won't allow myself to dream about it.

i want to see penelope cruz in a canuck jersey.....

Im happy with either tkachuk or dubois

2-0 Tampa

I jinxed them so hard. I should just keep my mouth shut.

It's five minutes of him making 5 star saves. It's kind of masochistic tbh...

I'm a big fan of that guy. He's made huge strides since we acquired him. 

Even he can't prevent the tank.

It took him to go from VAN to MTL and now EDM. He needed a wake up call twice. Doubt he'll be the person he is today if he stayed in Vancouver.

Fans loved him here. He loved something else...

@Gstank29

Not bummed that he's gone, bummed that we gave up a 5th to get rid of him and got a player who won't even finish the year with us in return.

Well, that sample size is certainly convincing.

convincing that he sucks

What a ray of sunshine you are, all the time, canuktravella.

Hey now, he could hit the net ...

For one month and then he stopped doing it.

^ Boom

Good

next time take your allergy pill and an advil, extra strength. trust me. you'll still be in hell but it won't be nearly as bad

Flucitasone. It's a nasal spray for rhinitis. Works like a charm

nice bro

K

hopefully we sink to sixth lol

lol

it's a conspiracy. Ted Nolan injured him before the game lol.

If what happened to Florida happened to Buffalo, they wouldn't have even put a goalie in the net...and probably wouldn't even use an sxtra attacker either.

The luling. It has to stop. I know you know it's infuriating.

lul

lul at Barzal. lul, just lul.

watchout, we have a stat sheet warrior here.

Wouldn't worry about it unless he's consistent. Meaning he does it next season too, and the year after that. On pace for.. whatever he is right now.

@ DBBP

Well, with all the love Kassian's been getting this year it couldn't have been that bad.

Most entertaining game of the season IMO

good thing my first batch of midterms was last week

Figures 5pm start time. Just got home. Damn afternoon shift.

Wow I didn't know about it until you brought it up, thanks a lot

it's like, they kinda made some songs and people were like 'ok', and now they think they're a thing, or like, something.

hutton's a beauty, virtanen obviously is out of his depth

Virtanen looks like he couldn't care less.

They're finally passing the "suck" torch onto us

Just realized they have a 5 game win streak... as a opposed to their usual 5 game losing streaks.

theyll tank sooon enough 

 we have a ton of cap coming off  in summer not including the vets we could possibly trade at deadline.

vrbata, hamhuis, prust, weber  clears 12 mill

trading higgins or hansen or burrows  could clear another 2.5-7 mill plus the caps going up 3 

so basically we might have up to 22 mill next summer  to sign 4 vets free agents and move up gaunce or shinkaruk or grenier 

Assuming Gillis doesn't re-sign them all for market value lol.

lets hope not 

glad I'm not the only one who thought of this

I was thinking that too! Except we all know Bo's more mature than that kid.

yeah but no one is as mature as Sam Bennett

This year points wise he is actually on pace for slightly less points than his only full season here. 

As RR37 pointed out, on a high flying team like Edmonton he has 7 goals, 16 assists and 23 points in 75 games.

2013-14 in Vancouver: 14 Goals, 15 assists, 29 points in 73 games. 

Major difference: He had 91 hits, he has 190 in Edmonton. 

No only has he gotten his life together, but he's the physical forward the Canucks wanted him to be. 

But I don't think he's ever going to be a top line guy, just a really useful, physical guy. 

And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm happy for him. 

I liked Kassian. I doubt he will ever become a scoring machine, but it's nice to see him using his size and speed to fill a checking role with the Oilers.
