With no Barkov the Panthers will miss the playoffs. They barely made it with him.
Doug doesn't have an NHL job because he rates Ottawa higher than Toronto, guys a has-been LOL. They do this every year the past few, Montreal has a better team on paper than Ottawa at this point. Also, that Marner pass was not that great, why are they glazing and Matthews is in ANOTHER stratosphere compared to Brady. What are we doing.
Dougie Mac is the man 🍻
If Barkov is out for the entire season, he can't return for the playoffs anyways if Florida makes it.
Send Malkin to FLA, help speed the rebuild.
Your real one my guy… I rate you for real,top left
this clown should never talk NBA again lmao
You guys need to move on from Doug Maclean
This is me putting this out into the universe, but I hope Crosby saw what Marchand had to do to win a cup last year.. so Sidney starts considering this after the Olympics. In February, Crosby Signs to the Oilers as a rental, and helps the Oilers win the cup. Crosby retires on a high, Connor signs a 7 year deal at whatever Leon is making. And Canada lives happily ever after (as long as we win the Olympic Games)
Terrible news.
Didn’t Marchand played the center position with Boston.
But I think Lundell will be fine. Too bad Paul Maurice will have to break up that wonderful 3rd.
But maybe this will allow them to become even more versatile. If anyone understands how to use his personnel is Maurice.
Off the rails Friday with Douglas Mac is always a treat. Still!
"Theyre not close to florida" 6 and 7 game series last 2 yrs….florida will finally have to field a cap compliant team. How is it not close. Just absurd commentary
Shane Wright is without a doubt a better player than Slaf
Crosby and mcdavid to Toronto. Imagine that. With Matthews.. I'd be so happy.
You guys don’t realize that your toronto market has huge advantages too. Kyper doesn’t whine but the other guys sound pathetic
sam has the demeanour of a teenage girl
They’re going to have Barkov and Matthew ready to go for the playoffs
Lets go
Panthers cap shenanigans continue.
38:25 Sammi cant let it go lol. . .
Man it's so glad to have you guys back, & the resolution of the week is Friday 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉
No way Sens ahead of the leafs or Columbus ahead of the Rangers. NO WAY
wait i just got back from Pei it the water was cold ….
Dougie rules.
