Carol Schram: Rookie showdown between Boeser and Barzal highlights Islanders vs. Canucks Brock Boeser and Mathew Barzal will go head-to-head as Barzal plays his first NHL game in his hometown when the Vancouver Canucks host the New York Islanders on Monday night at Rogers Arena.

Every loss by the isles moves tavares just a little closer to free agency.

Go Nucks!

For all the warts Benning has, Gatth Snow clearly blows him away in any incompetncy level.
A superstar like Tavares, not getting any support for years is pathetic.
Tavares will look very good in StLouis next season.

Edit; never could understand why we never took a shot at Ronning.

Thank's Carol,

Hopefully the Canuck's are keeping close tabs on the BCHL, there's lots of great talent in that league.

I see Jonny Ginandtonic(sp) is making several mock drafts as a late 1st rd pick.

Tanks Carol!

Tankstrom in full mode tonight as we see 7-5 Isles!!

Boeser wins the rookie vs rookie battle with 5 pts!

Daniel scores...again.

No loser points please.

Yes, Jonny Tychonick Trying not to get my hopes up, but he's amazing.

Thanks Carol

Nucks D are going to have trouble with the speed of the islanders top two lines tonight. Barzal is going to make a few of them look silly, kid is fast.

Snow is weird. He matches every good move with a bad one to balance it out.

And I wouldn't speak too soon on Snow vs Benning. A roster with 2-3 star players up front handcuffed by anything resembling a defence 1-6, overpaid/used role players and flipping a coin in net. Could never happen here.

Said he really enjoyed Jimmy Kimmel and the Oscars last night.

Thanks Carol

Expecting a barn burner tonight, sloppy D all over the place.

Boeser with a hatty but Barzal with his 4th 5 Point game of the year (and the game winner) 7-5 Isles

Ty is a giant tool, he's not very much liked on the giants I can tell you that.

Players around the league were saying he is the scariest to play against in 3v3 OT. We will see why tonight. Kid is super quick. I still think mcdavid is faster tho

Me too but there have been times where Barzal looks to be flying McJesus-style. I still haven't watched Connor play live yet but I am told his speed is something to behold live.

Don't think so...

I think it was something he said in a different thread.
