One of the worst 5 on 5 players on the team, but hey he looked good...
Yeah one of the worst players 5 on 5 except he's a perennial 50+ points player..

I swear every time Bouchard plays, it's Koskinen in net.
The amount of times Mike Smith has saved Barrie or even Nurse's bottom this year is through the roof but nobody remembers because you tend to only remember the goals. Koskinen has let in some real stinkers when Bouchard is in the lineup. He's not mistake free, but we let Barrie get off scot-free for making just as many or more. Some would say "due to his offense" - well Bouchard's offense has been pretty great when he plays.
Last night, the Barrie whiff led to a 3on1 that Scheifele fired high. Nurse's ring-around the rink caused another 3v1 and a nice save by Smith. But we let it go. What about that Barrie pinch that led to an odd man break?
I apologize for that my bad. Okay I'll grow up and read posts betterI was referring to bouchard. Sandin getting an opportunity to play but bouchard sits. Had nothing to do with Barrie. Grow up seriously, thanks.
I did live there before. Hated every bit of itTry living in Calgary like I do.
Bizarre take. Goaltenders make saves and bail out defensemen all the time, it's not something you selectively apply to individual players.The amount of times Mike Smith has saved Barrie or even Nurse's bottom this year is through the roof but nobody remembers because you tend to only remember the goals.
I don’t get the McLeod is a black hole offensively stuff. He hasn’t exactly been playing with wingers that can put the puck in the net (Neal I guess, sort of, but he’s off and on now) and he had a better scoring chance than almost any other forward that wasn’t Puljujarvi. He’s not known for offense but he also got to play with the Condor’s best offensive guys and has played with mostly dead weight here. Give him some time and better wingers and he’ll start putting up points. He’ll be a 25 to 40 pt guy on the 3rd line depending on linemates
tbf that goal was 99% on Thornton and not SandinThat really worked out for them.
So you're saying Nurse is doing good this year because of Mike Smith? Nurse hasn't done anything good to warrant his season? He's just been pure bad and Mike Smith has done everything for him? I tend to only remember his goals.... I've seen his good play this season and if you haven't, then all you are looking for are the negatives. I won't bother answering the rest of this bizarre tweet. You usually just want to be negative so just do you man
1) Don't ever post anything outside of the HIVE agenda without first wrapping it in at least two coats of sugar!Huh? This was a super bizarre response. I'm baffled.
1. Did you completely miss the point? The point was that Nurse and Barrie also make mistakes, but we keep them in the lineup and play them because we know their strengths and talents are top six among the D (and really, they are top 2!). Bouchard's talents are easily top 4 level on our blueline. I was saying we shouldn't be holding out Bouchard because "he makes mistakes". When we have a goalie playing well, it masks that other guys make mistakes too. My bold take is that Bouchard may be our most offensively talented player on the roster - I think he gives Barrie a run for his money.
2. A tweet? Huh? Sir, this is a Wendy's.
3. When did I say anything about Nurse having done nothing good? That's a massive leap man.
4. The bolded is why you tend to run into problems on the board. You are so positive about the team, which is great! But if someone criticizes anything, you often tell them they are always negative and their take is awful. To me, I get the fandom, but it's rather immature to not be able to see the team isn't perfect. Am I more critical than other posters? Absolutely! But also look at the history of the Oilers: Lot of the same repeated mistakes over and over. We all want the same thing, a cup. I just don't believe the team is there yet and I don't think Dave Tippett and Ken Holland are batting 100% at all times. I appreciate the positivity, not the attacks as much. We can always be better, otherwise we'd be 82-0
I've heard a couple people who got Moderna say the same thing.
I got the Pfizer and my shoulder was sore the next day and I felt sick, and then 2 days after my shot I felt 100% again.
I do like black olives! That sounds damn good to me!!black olives
Ham

Mushrooms

Agreed with this. People get impatient pretty quick. We are also used to failure...... Athanasiou, I thought would be perfect and he was a flop.I don’t get the McLeod is a black hole offensively stuff. He hasn’t exactly been playing with wingers that can put the puck in the net (Neal I guess, sort of, but he’s off and on now) and he had a better scoring chance than almost any other forward that wasn’t Puljujarvi.

Hmmmm no I haven’t..... I’m pretty limited at work though. Hell we’re lucky to have a microwave lmao.
I did live there before. Hated every bit of it
agreedHopefully Kassian and Neal are out. Get Haas and Ennis back in.
Sit Kassian. He's done.
Sit KooKoo
Play Laggeson
Get Shore in
3rd line of Neal - Archibald and Khaira
embellish to create powerplays
Quick one touch passes
The only shitty thing about Calgary is the 4 flames fans that live in this city.I did live there before. Hated every bit of it
Well it ain't working for themDon’t get me wrong I despise the leafs. I just like their system and think our players would benefit from it.
