Is anyone gonna talk about how he missed an open net twice in warmup
It’s such a shame he never got to play at least a season with Henrik and Daniel
My fantasy league laughed at me for picking him up on he 15th round. Now they laugh at me because I benched him over Bergeron. I cry :'(
This kid is special. I’m saying it now, he’s a Calder favourite this year!
calder
Canucks
I always love seeing players get their first nhl goal 😄
Calder trophy
I love when rookies score in their first game, Matthew's gets 4, Guentzel gets 3, this kid gets a dirty one. Future hockey looks exciting with this amount of young talent in the league now, going to be more competitive than ever. This is why I like hockey over any other competitive major sport, the NHL has somehow found a way to keep teams relatively balanced.
Goalie Smith looked minor league – that shot was so good! Calgary's PP went 1 for 7 or this contest was a blow out.
legend has it that Smith is still looking for the puck
Wanna see him vs brock in an accuracy competition
🔥
Where’s the prank
That was sick…
CONGRATS kid! Nice shot!
What a bullet! So happy the shames lost
SO that's just not a lazy EA Sports NHL forever thing. LOL.
What was the prank? Cause solo laps are a thing most players do ahead of their first game, not a prank.
Teemu Selanne like lift on his wrister. Sneaky
Elias petterson best rookie this year definitely better than rasmus dahlin
