....except for the stunningly beautiful women there. :drool:Congrats to Barzal for winning. But these awards are cringe worthy to watch.
Just noticed Ledecky is sitting there. That’s the first sighting of him in ages
Dumb as rocks, that kidOmg you remember that poster? What an ass lol
Why wasn't it unanimous?
Dumb as rocks, that kid
Congrats to Barzal.
I hope his contract calls for him to get a nice bonus.
Good for the kid.I am fairly certain whoever wins an award gets like 250k automataically(it might be 500k)
Came across this on LHH, the stat geeks are going to love this one.
Mathew Barzal: The Center Behind John Tavares
Did anyone see the magician throw a knife at Barzal? Wtf
It should have been Ladd
Did anyone see the magician throw a knife at Barzal? Wtf
That can never happen again.
A leaf fan?Did anyone see the magician throw a knife at Barzal? Wtf
Yanni Gourde had one 1st place vote and Sergachev had two 2nd place votes. So I'm thinking some TBL writer voted Gourde #1 and Sergachev #2 and gave Barzel the 3rd vote.Who in the **** voted Barzy 3rd?
I think Ebs is just try to parlay his own experience to Barzy. Ebs used to hold on the puck a lot in his younger days with the Oilers and he got checked and hit. He knows that after a while other teams learns your puck handling tendencies and start to wait for the right moment to steal the pucks from you. Even JT has learned that too. He also used to hang on the pucks longer but now he would try to move them a bit faster to avoid getting checked. The reason is that there are so many good checkers in NHL who can steal pucks from you once you stop skating and in fact some of them get to keep their jobs in the NHL because they are exceptionally good at doing exactly that. Holding the pucks too long is especially dangerous when you do it near your own blue line. One successful steal will send a fast moving opposing players on a partial breakaway the other way. Marner did that quite a bit last year too but soon he learns that this is not junior and he needs to be more careful. Thus he does not do that as much now. I think it is the same way with Johnny Hockey from Calgary as well.A better comparison would be Barzal’s stats before Eberle’s comment and after Eberle’s comment.
Not that there would be a reason to but we can never trade Beauvillier lol

Barzy is extremely talented but he can still learn from others who knows because they have been there.
