Matthews can “double dip” as much as he wants at any party, any where, as much as he wants baby.
It’d be hilarious if we scored short handed
I do like Benoit and Lagesson’s willingness to stand up for goalies.
I mean it was a penalty. But Gaudreau still sold the shit out of it
Jones is so much more calm than Ilya…
Reminds me of when Kallgren.
Edit: Not editing. Meme created.
ROFL that was the greatest make up penalty bullshit in the history of bullshit….based on fan booing lol…….come the fuck on.
Questionable offside call I thought
That was a very late offside call
Imagine how stressful the season would be if Matthews was not locked in on an extension
1 goal in 20 shots jones is the one
Everyone was talking shit about Keefe putting Marner and Matthews together again but now they’ve connected for two goals
Someone’s just booing constantly
Stupid
CBJ fans are kinda whiny.
Bertuzzi doing his best 2021 marner impression 😆. Need a big kill here
Man the announcer seemed very excited to say that Bertuzzi was going to the box
TSN turning point
Why
Yeah think I’m done with BERTUZI
Bertuzzi showing you that amazing reliability
How bad are those jerseys for the new women’s league wtf
Pretty dumb Bert.
Marner SH goal coming in….?
I have always thought and will forever think calling a penalty for shooting the puck over the glass is the dumbest shit in the game. Just call it the same as an icing. No line change.
Who is booing constantly oh my god
Imagine being upset that Matthews plays with one elite winger over another? Teams wish to have problems like that.
Haha did he almost take the lineman’s head off with that clear?
bedard just scored a michigan so be prepared to see that 40 times a day for the rest of your life
Robertson looked good in his first 4 games ans has been invisible since. Trade this dude while he has any stonks left. He is a bust.
Columbus crybabies have 2 PPS to our 1 and are still complaining
i will never get tired of watching JT doing that move he loves where he takes a dman behind the net, leans hard on them, then stops on a dime reverses direction and leaves them in the dust
That is indeed a high stick. The puck hits his blade which is above the shoulder. Shoulder is the breakpoint right?
What’s Matthews gold bling say
20-minutes left. What FOUR words would you say to the boys in blue?
Pretty good so far. Finish with a strong third. Columbus won’t get many more PPs after those two so just play smart and we’ve got it
I’m curious, is Auston good?
Auston is in a league of his own for scoring . What an absolute powerhouse
This is 100% propaganda lol
We are so lucky to have Auston Matthews. That is all
Jesus. Ya’ll see that Bedard goal tonight? https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/CPegR4hJ88
Elliotte Friedman is trying hard to look like Grapes
Let’s say we have another disaster in the playoffs (not reaching the ECF at least) keefe going to Ottawa would be such a high chance of happening. I would hate it. Cause you know Damn well they would see major success. Cause leaf things.
Matthews attempted the Michigan last year and if he scored on it we would want to see it for 3 months. Why do people hate on Bedard doing it? It’s pretty cool to see no?
Jacques Martin is 71. Did not think he was that old.
I’m at the game and all of Columbus is blaming the refs. We have them right where we want them boys!
Fuck off sonnet, if I hear the word “adulting” one more time
