RANKING THE SECOND ROUND MATCHUPS OF THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS | BarDown Podcast 

I find it more fun watching Canucks win because of the hate

As a Canucks fan I get what you guys are saying with the Oilers, We'll heckle because of the league doubting us all season but many Maaaaany fans know this is house money for us, nucks arnt the team that said cup or bust at the start of the year, it was maybe we're middle of the pack or if everything goes right we may sneak into the playoffs, so the pressures on the OIlers. .....we're still gonna go at everyone for doubting us though

Z flaming Luka for the Canadian goalies take was a work of art.

Canucks fan - completely agree with Jesse. The Oilers losing would be devastating - not because the Canucks are "weak" but because the Oilers cannot fail again. They NEED to win eventually and losing to the Canucks would be yet another step back and raise further questions about the team's ability to win. They got absolutely crushed by the Avs in 2022, blew a good chance against the eventual Stanley cup champs last year and are now desperate to win. A loss to the Canucks would be an unmitigated disaster. All the pressure is on them. Having said this, I'm mildly surprised at the consensus of the Oilers as a 'heavy' favourite by many pundits. I think they are favourites but shouldn't be expected to crush the Canucks, even without Demko. I think the Bardown guys have this right with all predicting a series of 6 or even 7 games. Hopefully it's a good one!

As a Vegas LTIRs fan living in Vancouver, go Nucks go.

Elite intro by Z. Dudes elite at his job

Bruins have the power of friendship on their side and that's a power so strong, it can overcome a better team. Also Swayman is an absolute animal in between the pipes right now

lol corwin looking like a finance bro with the Patagonia vest😂

For the record as a Canucks fan I never thought you guys HATED the Canucks. However, stuff like Jesse saying he didn’t “think the Canucks are that good” and many people having the preds beating us. It just felt like you guys were very optimistic about say the devils last year and then with us it’s been very critical. That being said I get where the criticism comes from. Just wish you guys would list the positives more often

when is the next episode?

KEEP DOUBTING US JESSE

If Satan was a hockey team, he would be the Vegas Golden Knights

Best part about Leafs fans is that they remain delusional. If they weren't so obnoxious, then the Leafs just wouldn't be so hateable, and instead they'd just be pitied. So, thank you to Corwin and his "Bruins in C Leafs in A" insistence. You keep me from feeling bad for the Leafs, and ensure that the next Leaf loss is always the best.

The chock as a swede when starting the video and seeing Jese wearing a Grunden Bois jersey

‘no disrespect to Canucks fans’… Proceeds to disrespect the canucks in every way possible. And I’m not even a canucks fan.

VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GOOD

Nice to see that Grunden Bois-shirt, Jesse!

Suspect take by Jesse here; why the hell are the oiler blowing up a team that had an insane turn around this season? In my opinion everyones job is safe here.

I think the main factor in the Oilers-Canucks series is post-szn experience. The Oilers big 3 has tons of playoff experience compared to the Canucks stars

I didn't watch the Jets' series, but as a goalie, I can tell you for sure that I've played games where I gave up four where I was playing better than some of my shutouts. In response to that quote, I looked up the goals saved above expected, and Hellebuyck was -5.0, so in this case, that was cap. What he really wanted to say was that his defense was abysmal, which is true.

"They really gave it their all out there, for one or two games" 😂😂😂

As a Canucks fan I'm definitely worried about the Oilers. But... since the all-star break, Nashville had a better PP, better goals for per game, better GA per game, better record etc than the Oilers. The Canucks played great defensively against the Preds, especially the PK. So I don't think it's fair to say Nashville's offense was mid and the Oilers offense is a nuclear bomb that the Canucks can't contain. If the Canucks can play as well or better defensively and get some offense going, I think it will be very close, maybe leaning in Vancouver's favour.

Wow...none of you guys picked Dallas. It was pretty clear who the better team was in that series, too.

Never thought Arturs Irbe would be mentioned in this podcast, but here we are.

we want more podcasts!

The instant success of Vegas goes to show that the best way to build a contender is actually NOT through the draft.

Dunno why people think this group hates the Canucks, Jesse has spent the entire year ragging on the Oilers.

Canuck fans don't think the BarDown group hates the Canucks. Canuck fans just feel misrepresented by the BarDown group. We just want better representation and not be talked down to. Do please better BarDown Team.

“Lacerating your spleen probably hurts” 😂😂😂

Y’all been killing it on TikTok, soon the recognition will skyrocket.

Thoughts on Girard’s visor being angled up? I thought that it was supposed to ensure adequate eye protection (komarov situation from a few years ago)

I tried explaining the Dallas camera difference to my Dad - took me like FIVE examples during the 1st round switching back & forth through the games in real time - then he was like “ohhhh” the only positive … when they pan to DeBoer 50 times a game …. Everyone already knows why … 🤣

The collective disrespect that Bardown has for Dallas is always funny lol. I hope they continue to prove people wrong. People act like Vancouver is slept on? How bout Dallas. 0 people pick them lmao. The best seed in the whole conference who just beat the defending champs.

Hughes would be wise to go back and watch film of Makar on McDavid from the 2022 WCF’s. That’s how you shutdown the Oilers and make them average.

WTF lmao Jesse wearing a Swedish Gothenburg non-division football shirt how the fuck did you even find that

Chicago was the first to use LTIR in 2015.

Still laughing at Corwin saying the Bruins should be C rated in the rankings pod.

I love these guys

Wait till they see game two of rangers canes

The underdog lable suits the canucks.

Chicago did the LTIR thing first. Everyone forgets Chicago led the lobbying for LTIR exemptions, team executives across the league majorly agreed, and they won 3 cups off of it when Kane hurt his hip, and other stars got hurt long term. They got guys like Vermette, Laad, Dailey, Timmonen, kept Hossa, etc because of it. Others might have tried, then Tampa used it for their run, now Vegas. Any GM or owner complaining now, probably, voted for this.

Did Jesse get that football jersey when he was in Gothenburg for Juniors

Last year I had the feeling in the second round that whoever won in the Edmonton/Vegas series would win the cup. The knights won and moved on to win it all. This year I don’t have the same feeling about any series, but if I had to pick a series that had the best chance of having the cup winner if you factored in both teams, I have a weird feeling about the Boston/florida series that I don’t like

Are you guys done making episodes?

Stone is Vegas's Designated Playoff hitter and doesn't come out of the dug out until it's that time.

Keep dissing us, we ain’t writing back

I also really do think that the astros were a lot more hated than the golden knights are

Jesse picking the Oilers and them blowing a fat lead confirms his curse

Love seeing jessie reping gruden bois which is a swedish handicap team based in gothenborg

Just happy the injury reserves got knocked out by Dallas

When are y’all doing round 3😫

Edmonton has been hated a lot because McDavid, as well as the what 5, 6 first over picks they got within 5 years?

New video before conference finals?

As an Oilers fan, it's an absolute disaster if they don't at least make the finals, and a fail if they don't win the cup.

Leafs fan thought they were going to win, now thinks Vancouver is going to win. Give your head a shake😂😂

Respect to Jesse for the Grunden Bois Jersey!

I don't think you hate the Canucks. But I think you severely underestimate them and are far too dismissive of them as a hockey team. And I do think that comes from not watching them enough or at all. They have a unique playing style not properly summed up by looking at box scores.

LTIR issues = Hate the game, not the player. NHL needs to close this loophole, though

I think Canucks chance of winning is heavily dependant on whether or not Petey shows up. Petey was a big factor in beating the Oilers during the regular season and I think the Canucks have their work cut out for them if Petey isn’t locked in.

A more hated team than vegas? Not in my lifetime, but the broad street bullies era flyers were despised by everyone outside of philly from what i understand

Canucks fan here love you jesse 🤓

"star power"

Was the Canucks penalty kill good or was the Predators’ power play atrocious…

As an Oilers fan, I do feel like Jesse and maybe some other media figures are severely underestimating Vancouver. I really can see this series going either way. Idk why I’ve seen so many “Oilers in 5” predictions. At the MINIMUM, I think Edmonton can win in 6

idk if bardown watched game 1 of rags canes but Carolina only gave up two penalties, rangers just scored on both.

19:50 finally some respect for Binner. Hes gonna get snubbed out of the vezna.

why post once every2 weeks in the midst of playoffs? Nows the time to post 3 times a week.....

Jesse has had some horrible takes. I would take his points with a huge grain of salt.

Canucks are waving them towels

if you watched the series you would know that stone should not have been on the ice. He played clearly injured with no energy.

Where do the Oilers go if they lose this series? I’ll tell you. Trade/Buyout Campbell, Trade Kane, Trade Ceci, Trade Kulak. Get a legit backup who can play good hockey to backup skinner, get legit 2RD who compliments Nurse. It’s obvious that if you lose this year that the offence alone isn’t working, so get some cap space and fix the Defence first (Broberg is ready he’ll help for sure) and then upgrade the firepower at the deadline again. This isn’t a leafs or flames level of blow it up, it’s a retool to build from defence outwards.

Bunch of east coast kids pretending they watch any west coast games that doesn't have McDavid or MacKinnon playing

what happend to the bardown videos?

Updated my stance. Bar down doesn’t hate Canucks. JESSE hates the Canucks. I agree that the oilers have more to lose in this series though, for sure. I also think Nashville is being undersold. Since the all star break they had a better offence and a better power play than Edmonton. And a better record too I believe.

I’ve watched the last couple episodes and it seems like Jesse loves projecting negative comments on the oilers. Like as an oilers fan we are right there but keep losing to the cup champs. I don’t see us losing to the Canucks but to say blow it up if we lose to them is such a terrible take. Like are the jets gunna trade Helly since he’s terrible in the playoffs? Or maybe it’s their tiny Dman that causes traffic goals…

As a rangers fan, I promise you, we don't like Carolina

This Marner protection is getting ridiculous. These are the exact changes we wanted last year - dump keefe dump marner. Everyone said run it back.. Now we are finding out Marner was prepared to get moved last summer. Then he does it again this year and there are still goldfish fans trying to protect him? He is a toxic scourge. Aside from his awful play in the other 6 games, game 7 OT winning goal exemplifies why nobody (including every other team) wants him. If he had skated hard with Pastrnak that goal doesn't go in. Was he the only one at fault there? No absolutely not, but he is the only one that is the 'defensive genius' with insane 'hockey iq' that was in the perfect position to stop the play, just would have required him to skate hard.. we already had no faith in the other guys in that play. Sammy did his LEVEL best. Marner is lazy, has zero heart then racks up points when they literally matter for nothing. People seriously quote his playoff ppg, yet this year one of those points was his beauty goal when we were down what was it.. 5-0? If nothing happens with Marner + Keefe combo, i am done as a Leafs fan. If you want to lampoon next season at least bench Marner and waste his salary properly. The only thing more frustrating than the leafs doing the same shit over and over, is the fans that promote the idea.

I hate both Vegas and Tampa for doing what they did I know it is not cheating but My team lost to it in the 2020 finals to Tampa and then last year's WCF to Vegas so I just find it annoying my team lost to it twice

Canucks have had a great season. Exceeded expectations. Oilers in 5.

Wyatt Johnston and TSN Chris Johnston everyone says the last name wrong lol Johns-ton not Johnson

Dallas in 6 even tho it's looking like 5 right now. Canucks In 7. Rangers in 7. I originally said sweep but look what happened. And Panthers in 5

Jesse definitely embellishing really bad takes.

this is the reason we here in Edmonton HATE you guys. if arrogance was a power source we'd have unlimited energy. stick to the laughs .

where are you!?!?!?

Damm no dog

it would probably hurt if you lacerate your spleen 😭

im a big fan of bardown, and it bothers me that DZ often feels very insecure. That makes him act weird and mean towards his friends and sometimes its hard to listen to. I'm not trying to be a parasocial freak but i thought it was worth a comment i guess

Coalarado jesse come on!

malkin and karlsson for marner

Carter Hart

look I love watching these videos but as a whole the disrespect from the Canadian media towards the canes continues to be so annoying. We are a well rounded team, sorry we dont have "flashy" stars

Delusional Maple leafs fans aka Corwin can’t stand Vancouver made round 2 before them😂

Y’all should do a 2024 post lottery mock draft

Has Jessie had a good take ever? This isn’t a diss on him, genuinely wanna know

I thought you guys understood hockey, 😂😂

Does Jesse actually know anything about hockey or is he a personality guy for the show . I like him though 😁

Who decided to bring this z guy back?

Edmonton disrespect

as a Canucks fan, I agree with almost everything you guys have said. Doesn’t happen very often lol.
