Kuznetsov is back

[AD Skinner]

I might have to get Bojangles and Cheer wine today.

As Staind sings:
It's been awhile

“I still remember just the way you taste”

Me to a filet biscuit with cheese

This has got to be the only place in the world where a sexual innuendo is used to cover for a food topic!

Pretty nice assist on a game-tying goal with 10 seconds to go.

I thought the bird celly was due to playing for the Capitals.

I’m sure that was part of it, but the main reason is because his daughter loves birds. Hence why the celly is called the bird and not the eagle.

 

[Czechboy]

I'm cheering for him a bit. As long as it doesn't cost Necas ice time.lol

I do not recommend going any deeper into the internet if you believe this to be true

 

[AuraSphere]

He was pretty bad against the Leafs yesterday. He had a 2 on 0 and just destroyed any opportunity.

Also, if you don't like sexual innuendos, stay off of the Canucks board; especially during GDTs.

 

[DRW895]

Back on the ice? Yes. Back to the normal conditions? Not even close. Rod Brindamour can easily bench him during postseason

 

[tarheelhockey]

Alright, so maybe this is a story.

 

[Bruce Granville]

A Canes thread turning into a food thread? No. Way.

I‘m proud of you you kept your straight face until the second page…

A goal and assist tonight for Birdman to make it 4 points in 6 games and he’s +5 as well.

Maybe even the bigger bonus is that Orlov has turned super human and while he was playing really well recently he’s gone beast mode since Kuzy joined the team. Svech also 6 points in 6 games during that stretch, which is fairly in line for him but the chemistry is looking great so far.

It's like in fifa unlocking a synergy bonus

Kuznetsov is the definition of high-risk/high-upside. He was a complete and utter trainwreck for a couple of seasons and I don't know if I personally would've had the balls to make that trade, but the Canes did, and it looks like it was a good idea, at least so far.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

. He was a complete and utter trainwreck for a couple of seasons

uhh, was he? Last year 55 points not great but still better scoring production than most team’s 2C, and the year before 78 in 79. The first half of this year was a train wreck but otherwise not really.

From an advanced stats POV, he was one of the worst players in the league last year. His counting stats, though, didn't really fall off the cliff with it until this year.

 

[Drake1588]

Really cheering for this guy to sustain it, even on a division rival. His fans here will never forget he was one of the very top contributors in DC's championship season. The issue has never been his peak, which is best-player-on-the-ice stuff, no matter who he's playing. The key is whether he can re-wire himself to bring that energy on a consistent basis. Here's hoping the program was beneficial for him and he can do that for Carolina. His attitude right now looks like exactly what you want to see.

I’m honestly surprised to see he’s a ppg over this stretch because he’s looked pretty dang bad.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I feel like he is too slow and undisciplined to be of use in that system.

Very curious trade

Why you heff to be mad?

 

[philip]

He seems to be back in a good place and enjoying his hockey. And a Kuzy like that is definitely our loss and Canes gain. Especially at bloody 50% retain. Orlov is a good player too, really rate him, but dang I didn't realise he was on nearly 8m the year. Being back with his buddy does seem to be a big help, as it would anyone I guess really.

Higher salary with a short term. It’s only a 2 year deal. Basically a bridge until Nikishin can come over. Canes had the cap space, anyway, and he’ll move up to 2nd pairing next year when Skjei leaves in free agency.

You seriously think the Canes are going to let the best player in the NHL just walk in free agency?!?!?

 

[NVious]

So obviously the Caps are going to retire his jersey, but how close is he to getting the same treatment from the Canes?
