Post-Game Talk: Barkov dives to block a meaningless empty netter, gets injured in 3-1 loss

[batting1k]

I honestly think he is masking some of Ekblad's deficiencies. Ekblad still has some really good qualities, but IMO the leg injuries have pretty much ruined his skating and playmaking ability. He's still tough and he's still smart, so they pair up well together.

I try to be even keel on Ekblad because I like the guy, but he honestly looks like a shell of himself to me most of the time.

IMO he never skated well. And he hasn’t been a threat at the point since his rookie year. Kinda crazy how far he fell in that part of his game.

And if our pick is top 10 we get to keep it? Oh baby.

Just please no acl or other knee ligament problems. That’s the worst case. Hopefully it was just a knee or ankle sprain and he’ll be back in a couple weeks. If he doesn’t miss at least a few weeks, I’d be surprised

Oh nice Barkov is dead. Missed that

 

[Idiot Stick]

Missed this one, damn i hope barky is ok

Exactly. We can survive without him.

at least he can join his mate and go together eat early christmas chicken wings to Tampere both with crutches

challenging to decide which one case was more unnecessary and meaningless

Can the rest of the team not go flying legs first into the boards in f***ing October please to save a rather meaningless Game 2?

Hindsight is 20/20 but Barkov is the captain and if he dogged that puck it’s a bad look.

Barkov
Fingers crossed it's nothing major We can survive a few weeks without him, or even a couple momths as long as he eventually comes back fully healed.
We'll, we said Vilmanis and others would get their chance - just didn’t think it would be so soon and like this.

Oh no we suck again
