I remember when many were upset in 2022 when he was slow to adapt to the team considering how large the trade package was. But then I remember him brawling against the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals, telling the crowd to get loud as he skated off, from then on he had my loyalty. The best PK forward in the league, pushes 40 goals and 100 points when healthy. He's spent the vast majority of his pro career with us and is a Bolt as much as Point or Cernak or any other. And on the best contract in the league.

Tonight seeing him watch Matty (his new adopted son) cheapshot Kucherov and then skate towards the bench hiding behind the refs, he came in, gloves already off and laid hands on Matty. That wasnt a fight, that was a beatdown that will go down in hockey history. He literally undressed Matty and adopted him as his new child! Incredible onesided beatdown!

Then once he had won, just like in the 22 Eastern Conference Finals, he skated off to the box telling the crowd to get loud. Was therapeutic to see

Get this man a Cup, when that happens the Hagel trade will go down as the best in team history

  2. I have so much to say about her Brandon Hagel but from all of it is that he’s become my second favorite player just after Kuch. Future captain, and I hope we don’t trade him when we rebuild but if we can’t get him one he deserves a cup.

  6. We all wanted him to sit out but he wanted a Gordie Howe hat trick. Sadly he got no assist tonight

  7. After Heddy, Mac, and Kuch retire/leave, Hags should get the C. He’s an absolute warrior.

  8. Was pissed my Hagel stadium series jersey didn’t arrive before this past Sunday, but it feels so right that it finally arrived today

  9. Based on the photo, the linesman so appreciated Hags beating the crap out of Tkachuk that he had to give Hagel a hug. Very sweet.

  14. Hagel has been my favorite player since we traded for him. He’s all heart and hustle. Guy I wanna see in Bolts blue for the rest of his career.

  16. Fucking rocked that pussy thachuyk. I’ll have no choice but to root for team Canada considering the US let that shithead on their team.

  18. i always believed in hagel. even though he wasn’t getting on the scoresheet in 2022 you always saw the speed/tenacity/will and i thought his playmaking couldn’t possibly not get better playing with kucherov
