Makar is great offensively, world class, but he’s still learning the defensive side. Slowly. Very slowly. He’s barely NHL Level on that side and he may never get it. He’s not a complete player. I’d still take Fox. And a good handful of other D Men over him.

The only thing Makar really has over Fox is his skating. He's a slightly better point producer but he's also more injury prone and the difference in production isn't super drastic. If you put Fox with the Av's forward group he'd easily make up that gap

Makar is also way more physical than Fox, plus he has a much better shot. Fox matches up better with intangibles like his IQ & agility.

I am a Rangers fan who lives in Colorado.

Don't tell me where to go, you genius.

Genius is saying "He is better than all of the Rangers put together". Like, 3rd grade level genius.

You really don't sound like a Rangers fan above. At all.

I'm concerned, almost 3 minutes in to this BOA game & there's been no scoring.

 

[94wasagoodyear]

No way Calgary loses tonight. No way the NHL let’s the BOA end in 5 games.

 

[Boris Zubov]

We got a game here.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Man, Markstrom sucks.

 

[bleedblue94]

I'm starting to want to see the oilers win it just for the Mike Smith story.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Man, Markstrom sucks.

This game could come down to which goalie has a brainfart in the third.

 

[ajdj10]

Imagine having Georgiev as your starter for the playoffs.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Hymen, busting through!

3-2 Oilers

Edit: Okay, your point still stands!

 

[Boris Zubov]

This game is gonna be 6-6 in the last 2 minutes.

 

[will1066]

Here we go again. Craziness. LOLOL. 3-2 Oilers becomes 4-3 Flames within like a minute.

By the way, can Hyman break through twice? Yes, yes, it can, it can. @FultonReed

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Holy shit!

 

[TriFF51]

Why couldn't we be playing either of these clown show teams?

 

[Boris Zubov]

And here comes the goal onslaught.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Holy shit, this game is insane.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Do you think that the Flames and Oilers would mind if we borrow some of their goals?

 

[TriFF51]

I'm not watching but I refreshed nhl.com a few times in the past 5 minutes. What the f*** is actually happening in that game.

Edit: refreshed again! 4-4!? You gotta be kidding me lol

 

[Boris Zubov]

might as well insert the Shooter-Tutors into each net.

 

[bl02]

Defense and goaltending nonexistent.

 

[LokiDog]

Imagine teams answering when scored against. I mean.. yah, forget about defense and goaltending. But still, imagine.

 

[will1066]

HAHAHAHA

This game could come down to which goalie has more brainfarts in the third.

Fixed
