Last night Andrei Kuzmenko scored in his debut for the Calgary Flames as they took on the Boston Bruins. Meanwhile the player he was traded for, Elias Lindholm, put 2 goals in for the Vancouver Canucks as they took on the Carolina Hurricanes. That and more in today’s NHL Hockey video!

Not first
Seems just Winnipegs trade didn’t bare any fruit, also seems jets may be in a free fall like last year (coming from a jets fan)
Thanks for the mega interesting topic !🌸
Win-win trades are the best. So happy to see Kuz scoring again and Lindholm's already fitting in great here.
At least Eck didn't go off on how awful the Bruins were last night…
ROLL NUCKS!!!!!!!!!
thanks for filling in all my hockey news
My thought when i first saw the trade was Kuzmenko was going to be a start player for Calgary, since any time the Canucks trade someone they seem to start doing better. Lindholm is at least a good trade, but will see what happens near the trade deadline, cause i expect Canucks management to screw things up, mostly around the goalies.
''The Flames are on the PP'' Eck 2024
More of this format, please🌹🌹
Plenty of trades look good a week in. Way too early to know for sure.
Last night was a treat! Kuzzy scores, Lindy scores twice, Flames and Nucks fans are happy and Edmonton lost!!!
Nobody could have predicted the friendship between the Canucks and Flames
Knoblauch means garlic in German.
I’m really glad Lindholm is getting a chance on a good team. I still hate the Canucks and hope they are eliminated in the first round.
Lindholms second goal shows just how good he is – turning around, getting his stick up and putting it down for a redirect in one motion within a split second. Need to be seen multiple times to understand the skill level.
Canucks fan here but I'm glad Kuzmenko is smiling and doing his work on the PP in Calgary. Even with Calgary as our rival, as other commentors are saying, Win-Wins are the best.
Oilers: you dumfucks you made our division rival unstoppable now
Flames: i miss the part where thats my problem
This might help save the Huberdeau contract, it would be nice.
Kuzmenko is exactly what the Flames needed. Besides Sharangovich, this team had no snipers. Kuzmenko already looks incredible and he’s having a secondary benefit of providing Huberdeau with options on the forecheck. If Huberdeau can improve his game by playing off Kuzmenko, this is a double win for the Flames.
Flames definitely came out on the better end, but if Vancouver makes a run this could turn out to be one of the more prominent win-win trades in recent memory.
Great news all-around.
Lols, still can't believe you're a hockey fan. Makes me love your content even more
Kuzmenko is playing with a good playmaker again, so he should score some goals before the end of the season. Lindholm, same thing. But for me, Lindholm is more valuable to a contending team because he can be used in all situations. He's not a guy you have to shelter and only put out in offensive situations. He can win face-offs, protect the puck and shut down the top players on opposing teams. That's going to be invaluable in the playoffs. He'll be out there whenever possible against guys like MacKinnon and McDavid. Pettersson won't have to shoulder that burden alone. Pettersson still isn't 50%+ in the face-off circle yet, so I would imagine Miller and Lindholm should be handling most of those duties, depending on what situation the team is in. Lindholm is the kind of player who makes the coach's job easier. He knows what he needs to do and he does it.
Canucks fan here. I’m happy Kuz scored last night. He deserves it, and I wish him all the best in Calgary. Lindholm’s debut was crazy good!
Thanks LAMES not the BRUINS is pissed
Big deal
Lindholm got two tips on the PP
Dude saying it's a win-win trade after ONE game Lol
As a Canucks fan, I am thrilled with Lindholm's debut. I'm also a little nervous because there's growing expectation on Vancouver now. We stand the best shot we've had in almost 15 years, it's crazy how long it's been since we've had a team this great. And we all know the playoffs are a different beast. Teams change when they're in the playoffs. Just really hoping our style will still translate in that everything-on-the-line pressure cooker. I guess we will soon see if this will separate the team we are versus the team we're expected to be.
Those tips by Lindholm were nuts
Win-win isn't that common so it's nice to see it working out (so far).
Kezmenko gonna save Huberdeaus career
Considering that Lindholm looked a little lost a few times throughout the game (to be expected and forgiven since he is learning a new “strict system”), Lindholm scoring twice is a fantastic omen. If he’s still not 100% on board with the team strategy and scoring like this, I can’t wait to see what he’ll be doing when he is dialed in with the team play! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
This was so ugly for the B's. yuck!
Wonder if Leafs ever make a good trade.
