Oilers have had the most ridiculous luck against us this season
Game 1 - Gulutzan decides to play Nick Grossmann as our #4D and the refs were awful
Game 2 - the refs were awful and Talbot goes Full Hasek
Game 3 - the refs were awful and a ****ing shootout.
I want these guys in the playoffs. We'll stomp them in a best of 7.

The Oilers have McDavid and the Flames have Wideman.....do you really think this biased officiating (which I, even as an Oilers fan, will admit is a partial) is going to go away in a playoff series?
Ehh you're reaching. Refs were not awful tonight. They let a lot of stuff go on both sides. Yes if this doesn't go to a shootout, I like our chances better. But it did and here we are.
A playoff series would be ****ing nuts.

Good game ruined by the shootout. take them out of the game. Refs horrendous once again. Better effort, and I thought we were the better team overall. 1 point is better than 0 and having the Oilers ahead by more.

Hi.
At least Gio & friends made McDavid look invisible.
Now if Johnny and Bennett could get going, that would be great.

By the standards of this season, the refs were pretty good tonight. Barring the requisite "oh **** the oilers need to get a PP with 5 minutes left" call I'd say they were actually really good.
The good guys played a very solid game but couldn't bury one past Talbot. I just wish they'd bring this level of effort in every game.
I also really noticed in this game that the Oilers have a much less aggressive forecheck than pretty much every other team I've watched the Flames play this year. The Flames had so many clean breakouts and the D was able to activate much more than usual. They couldn't do anything with it but it was nice to see them not being stuck in the d-zone all game.
Elliott had a little bit of redemption as well, hopefully he picks his game up for good now.

Yeah, you can't blame the refs on this. This was a pretty evenly called game. Both teams got away with stuff and both teams got caught with stuff.

Playoff series
- are under a greater microscope
- have more whistles put away, favoring the teams that gets called for Ticky-Tacks in the regular season
- will have Playoff Ferland
- will have less Jokipakka-Engelland if Gulutzan has any sense (though I doubt he does, since Kulak SHOULD have played tonight). When Kulak is on the ice the Flames are a completely different team from when Jokipakka is on the ice.
Do I expect the bias to change? Probably not but the impact of reffing is more significant in the regular season.
"Both teams got away with stuff" yet one team has three times as many man-advantages including one soft roughing call in the winding minutes of the third while the other team was on a promising rush that might have resulted in the game winner.

Also, I would gladly have the Flames lose 10-0 in their next meeting if it meant that the Oilers would sign Russell long term. He was pretty comfortably their worst player tonight. I liked Eberle's game though he ended up being fairly ineffective and Benning was actually incredible.

I don't know if they grow it in the show but I think it is loosely based on the Mexican Mennonites around Bow Island that have been caught several times smuggling cocaine into the country, they have serious ties to the Cartels.

I actually want to watch Pure, Bellevue (I don't think it's being advertised yet, but Anna Paquin has the female lead) and I kinda wanna see the mom one.

For real. I could barely hold it together tonight.
CFHF Get Together 4.0 in the playoffs? You can hold each other.

Is it just me or have we run into an odd situation with Mony and Johnny? Both seem to play better away from each other right now, but neither can find chemistry with anyone, and they're not clicking together. We really need Bennett, Brouwer, Chiasson, Ferland (when healthy) to step up here.. Especially the first two.. Bennett's season has been a huge disappointment when I recall how stellar he looked in camp and preseason.

It's Bellevue I really want to see, sounds like Paquin is a small cop investigating the disappearance of a trans girl and she ends up having to dig into the lives of people she has known her whole life.

Brouwer looked good before his injury, he likely came back a little early due to Ferland's injury. So I would give him a couple/few more games to get back to that.

Right now I'm getting worried if there will even be playoffs. We've squandered some much needed points and positioning for those wildcard spots are getting tight and we've played more games.

Big positive for me is that we made McGenerational look McPedestrian. The way he feasted on us early in the season was embarassing.
