The BarDown team returns to the podcast room to close out 2023 with their own award ceremony. Highlighting the very best and the very worst of the year.
Best trade of the year is the Canucks picking up Hronek. Having him paired with Hughes is the biggest reason the Canucks are 1st in the league right now.
Thank you, Luca. That's exactly what I've been saying about the Alex DeBrincat trade. It's not only bad I having to trade him from Ottawa to Detroit, but the Ripple Effect from the Getting Him From Chicago In The First Place. While I think that it was the right thing to Fire DJ Smith, more blame goes to Pierre Dorian, Former GM, for The DeBrincat from Chicago, without having him signed for less/yr than the $9M/yr, was A Big Mistake & then to get Kubalic+ was even more exponential. Let me know what you think
Ottawa has been doing this since the 90s, look good on paper, then absolutely blow it during the season and have a top pick. There are like 2-3 exceptions since like 1990, but this is typical Ottawa and shouldn’t be a surprise
I just want to point out on the Hronek trade, Wings fans loved him and are super happy to see him doing well, but I think we would still do that trade all over again. Axel Sandin-Pelikka (the player we drafted with the first round pick), is about to shatter SHL records for U20 defensemen.
The best trade of the year is unarguably the Canucks Islanders Trade. It was a mayor win win. Horvat is a ppg and him and Barzal are looking elite. The islanders are second in the metro. And the Nucks go out and get Hronek and dump the Horvat contract and are now one of the best teams in hockey. Win win. Great deal
As an Ottawa fan, I love your guys' take on this. What in the flying good god are we doing? I thought we were gonna be okay with Korpi and Forsberg. We have garbage in the goaltending department as of those two, giving up goals we shouldn't be giving up. Also, our defensive scheme does not work if you have no forwards on the first three lines who want to defend (excluding Crookshank, Chartier, Tarasenko and Kelly from that statement). OUR MOST BAFFLINGLY RIDICULOUS PROBLEM IS OFFENCE, how in the world are we letting Stützle lose the puck three times in 45 seconds when we are on the power play? Why do we sometimes fall into a bizarre stupor where we find that none of our players can receive a pass for 5 minutes in the second period? And why overall are great hockey players playing bad hockey in Ottawa? I have no idea, however I have faith we will win a few games after the break. But that's all you can say as an Ottawa fan right now.
As my dad once pointed out to be about MacKinnon and especially his speed: He's at Colorado. He's playing and (I would assume) training at elevation. That makes for speed and power at sea level.
Ok, guys. This will be fun. Swedish guy from Gothenburg here to help you out. If you’re staying at a hotel close to the arena you won’t be seeing any outdoor rinks unfortunately.. And there’s a limited amount of rinks close by as well. And don’t talk about Ibrahimovic, he’s not a local hero. You can talk about Henrik and Joel Lundqvist instead 👍🏼
4:14 so for me the Boston Bruins are the top team IN THE REGULAR SEASON but yeah best team overall I would have to say probably Vegas or Florida as I love underdog Florida's story despite them destroying my leafs (Leafs fans this is why U don't chant "We want Florida" u are using the Hockey gods names in vain and they will PUNISH U for it)
Huberdeau needs a good team around him. The flames are not that team that team was the Panthers and he needs a team like the Panthers to build off of and become a pure 100 point person trade him to the Kraken where he has a good team to build around Hundred point scorer.
So according to Goggle translate (82-94 percent accuracy) the French word for puck is completely different its "Palet" and u pronounce it like ur saying "ballet" but with a P.
Palet is used in Europe. The French Canadian is “rondelle”, that’s what the commentators say. But we are using the term “puck” in non-formal conversations.
As a swede i hope you guys make a quiz or some other fun challenges/interviews with some Swedish players during the juniors. Look up recipes for real homemade meatballs, then Jessie can at least stuff his mouth full of something that tastes good 😅
These guys are hilarious. You can see they’re big time Canuck haters. I love watching them squirm, when they have to say something positive about the Canucks, and try to redirect the conversation away to another team as fast as they can. They will however, spend a significant amount of time, to say something negative about the Canucks! The Canucks will not suffer “the biggest collapse of all time” to their dismay!
Yeah as someone who used to live in Ottawa a lot of people living there are Leafs fans because of the fact Ottawa has only been a team since the 1990s and a lot of the 35 plus crowd are Leafs fans if they're not French (which of course they're then Montreal fans cause ur father will toss u out of the will and house if u dont lol)
With the nucks playing the way they are. 2nd round at least. If they lose 1st round, wouldn’t be surprised the caliber of insufficient playoff experience.
Last time hughes pettersson and demko were in the playoffs, which was the bubble season, they were great. That was demkos breakout, and hughes and pettersson were both over a point a game.
I like the podcasts, but guys it's defentley time for a new quiz! Happy hollidays from Europe.
Agreed
nah the pods are better
@@kaanensari agreed

They aren't. Rangers is.
@@11DNA11 congrats on replying to a week old message as though I left it today 😂
@@icysnax4488 classic youtube comments lol
Glad to hear them giving some respect to Vancouver 💕💕
Another shoutout for good trade, Canucks getting Casey Desmith.
Absolutely, dude is killing it
I’m glad my boys Byfield, Kopi, and kempe for credit! They’re always so good together and continue to play well!
The coyotes are super underrated this year, they’re actually solid when they’ve been awful in the last half decade
Absolutely the boys are buzzing! I actually have hope that we can stay in a playoff spot.
As a coyotes fan THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS, seriously I can admit we have been awful for a while but right now, this year is amazing
Got Ducktales’ Huey, Dewey, and Louie answering hockey Q’s in those hats

Good stuff once again. But Z mentioning Artful Dodger is the best part. Those were criminally underrated denim in that time period
Artful Dodger and LRG denim…the classics haha!
Puck is Rondelle in French (literally round thing)
lol that’s amazing

Also projected to get scored on more than he scores 🤔

best trade is horvat to the isles. that line with barzel has arguably been one of the best in hockey

Rondelle d'or
As my dad once pointed out to be about MacKinnon and especially his speed: He's at Colorado. He's playing and (I would assume) training at elevation. That makes for speed and power at sea level.
I still think the worst trade of the year has to be the Tanner Jeannot trade. Tampa gave up waaaaaaaaaay to much.
Nathan Mckinnon's full ice rushes🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸
My favorite day of the week is when I get a new bar down pod
Sabres are about to go places🇨🇦🇺🇸
No Rangers love for the bounceback? Keep these videos up though they’re great
Agreed but I feel like they weren't really "bad" just they're looking way better this year.
Being Swedish I now consider going to the World Juniors ;) And if you have questions about Sweden I'll be happy to help you guys out ;)
Nobody thinks about Sweden
Honestly if someone visited Toronto and told me their best memory was going to Dutil I'd think that was awesome
As a Canucks fan I also did not see the bound back coming
the worst part of the senators potentially "picking in the top 5" is that they lost their 1st round pick in the dadanov situation, absolute joke
It's a first round pick in one of the next three drafts, not this one necessarily
the fresh word for puck is rondelle
That Kraken jersey is amazing and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees.
I love bardown
where is corwins hat from. someone please help meee
we need some podcast stuff from the world juniors
Ok, guys. This will be fun. Swedish guy from Gothenburg here to help you out. If you’re staying at a hotel close to the arena you won’t be seeing any outdoor rinks unfortunately.. And there’s a limited amount of rinks close by as well.

😂awesome 🇨🇦🎯
32:00 What about Barkov, Rinehart, and anyone. That line goes off.
Barbashev is one of my favorite players but the Blues were able to get Dean back who can become a great player as well.
Love the hat choice, Jesse. Go Spits
I got an award for worst. Every jersey ad in the NHL
“Trouba’s C is massive.” 😂
So enjoyed this talk 😄🇨🇦
Did these guys just agree that Trouba's "C" is massive? 😂
22:33
im sorry but the barbashev trade legit won a stanley cup.
Laine to the kings needs to happen.
Death, taxes and Jesse talking about players' legs.
Swede with black nudie jeans on right now, best possible shoutout
I love the new Jets jersey. The Kraken one is a bit meh, the Vegas one is probably the worst for me.
Wouldn't Arizona kinda be considered a bounce back team? Cuz they're playing great right now!
Really happy for them
Bounceback could be the wild
puck in French is rondelle
🔥😄🇨🇦
Finland can't wait 🇨🇦🌐
4:14 so for me the Boston Bruins are the top team IN THE REGULAR SEASON but yeah best team overall I would have to say probably Vegas or Florida as I love underdog Florida's story despite them destroying my leafs (Leafs fans this is why U don't chant "We want Florida" u are using the Hockey gods names in vain and they will PUNISH U for it)
Sanheim
As of tonight the Canucks are the NHL's best Team😂🔥🇨🇦
the best goal should be called the ovi as in football, the puskas award is named after ferenc puskas who is arguably the best goalscorer ever
Huberdeau needs a good team around him. The flames are not that team that team was the Panthers and he needs a team like the Panthers to build off of and become a pure 100 point person trade him to the Kraken where he has a good team to build around Hundred point scorer.
I think the player that is looking the most forward to 2024 has to be Gabriel Landeskog hands down
Should’ve just based the awards on this season..
This is awesome non mainstream media sports talk missing on MSM 😂sports 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Bedard Wembley 😄🇨🇦🔥🇬🇧
SAS LE BUT! -Corwin 3:20
Put time stamps
Jets are one serious contender 🇨🇦😁
They completely forgot about stutzles 25 assists
So according to Goggle translate (82-94 percent accuracy) the French word for puck is completely different its "Palet" and u pronounce it like ur saying "ballet" but with a P.
Palet is used in Europe. The French Canadian is “rondelle”, that’s what the commentators say. But we are using the term “puck” in non-formal conversations.
@@antoineglazer oh thx for the lesson I didnt know that. I think the guys meant what puck was called in Europe in Euro French but I could be wrong.
Flyers baby , hop on corwin
As a swede i hope you guys make a quiz or some other fun challenges/interviews with some Swedish players during the juniors.
Look up recipes for real homemade meatballs, then Jessie can at least stuff his mouth full of something that tastes good 😅
Nudie jeans is from sweden look at their wikipedia page
Hey, Ottawa made your playoffs. Dorion and Brady didn't lie!
Enigma wrapped in snakeskin 😂🇨🇦
Rank all star jerseys
Puck in french is un rondelle
Where is Kelly hockey night in Canada gumper
Flyers have had the best bounce back season
The disrespect on Tim Stützle overtime winner vs Detroit in Sweden 😢
Tiny Toms the best when they're warm.
A pod at the world juniors where Jesse just trys to fit swedish meatballs in his mouth while interviewing the players
The Tkachuk factor still rippling through the league 🇨🇦🇺🇸🎯
Nudie Jeans was founded in Gothenburg

Should have had a “best veteran (over 34 years old) player”
Logan Cooley preseason best goal of the year
"Trouba's C is massive." - Corwin 2023
nifty
Id say the Rangers are the bounce back team of the year, very good last year, sucked in the playoffs, best win percentage this year
Finally
😂forgot i was subscribed here🔥🇨🇦🇺🇸
Rondelle
Z, that hat is fire
🙏🏽
brutal take jesse saying he'll cheer for the us
The Tanner jeannot trade was god awful
Man why is it always Jesse talking about players legs, first Crosby and now Mack 🤦♂️
😂move on🇨🇦
"We can't give the title of worst player."
Same dudes 1 minute before:
"Ottawa has the two worst goalies in the league".
this crew is good but ngl i like when it's mixed up with that other guy and that girl so it's not the same every time
The Vegas jersey fucking sucks
Merry Christmas Canada 😄🇨🇦
Merry Christmas baby 😄🇨🇦
