Getzlaf was chirping Simmonds from the safety of his own bench earlier in this game.

Ducks lose again.

What's better than being generational? Whatever it is, Pastrnak is that now. More goals than Matthews.

Universal talent? I guess that doesn't cover all time though. 4 dimensional talent?

I wasn't an Aberg fan myself but if he ends up putting together a really good year McLellan is going to look awfully dumb for the way he used him in training camp.

I'm not sure he touched the ice with another top six forward the whole pre-season.

Sounds similar to how he's using Puljujarvi right now lol

He put all his top 6 eggs into Rattie’s basket.

He’s a stubborn and stupid coach when it comes to personnel decisions in particular. Exposed for that tonight. Aberg doing well is just icing on the cake.

Another late horseshoe goal by CGY to get yet another unsustainable win.

The horshshoe metaphor goes with their image though. Wannabe cowboys or whatever they do down there.

Good on them.

You do realize he had issues when he went to ANA as well. He was also waived by them.

The kid needs to figure is shit out. Hopefully for him he has.

Guys like Aberg come and go. He's kinda like Steve Bernier in the sense that he'll look good for a couple of games here and there but will fade into nothing and end up in the AHL more often than he'll play in the bigs.
