Post-Game Talk: Flames 3 Oilers 2 - four losses in a row

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This team won’t make the playoffs without major upgrades.

 

[Yeah15]

If we have a league average goalie in net, and Mike Smith doesn't continue his miraculous play against the Oilers we win this game 6-0. Unfortunately we have an absolute clown for a starter.

 

[Del Preston]

The Oilers' power play has scored in only 22 of 79 games this season.

 

[McDaddy]

Hamilton got away with another high stick on McDavid in the last minute. Drew blood too.

Bad starter. Bad defense. Bad powerplay.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Let Montoya start the last 3 games.

It wasn't really a high stick. The stick hit McDavid when McDavid had fallen to the ice.

 

[Yeah15]

Bad starter. Bad defense. Bad powerplay.

Yea the static powerplay definitely didn't help at all, more of a momentum killer than anything all night long.

 

[Soli]

Wish we could have won that and maybe cause Looch to be more of a goalie aggressor. Galvanize us ala Lucic/Miller 2011.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Even if we lose the last 3, there is a decent chance we fall out of the top 10 for drafting

Liked the fight... always nice to see some Flames blood spilled.

Don't care about the loss but pissed there's no McPoints to widen the Art Ross lead.

 

[Porkleaker]

I'm glad I skipped this game. Napping proved more productive.

 

[Nunymare]

Let Montoya start the last 3 games.

f*** it, call up Ellis and see what he has.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Several people in the thread tonight were saying that. Its laughable.

IMO Drai is our clear cut 2nd best player and Nuge is our clear cut 3rd best player.

Drai had a concussion this season. It would be pretty stupid for him to want to get another one getting in a fight. We got players here that are supposed to address that kind of thing. With Drai he'll nail you on the next shift or get in your grill which he did there. Sure didn't back off from it.

How often do guys get concussed from fights against non goons though? I think that if he went against another non fighter and thrashed him it'd send a message to those types.

 

[BlackDogg]

Don't want to see Talbot back. He hasn't had one hot streak that I can recall and has let in the first shot over ten times I believe. Montoya should have started.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

"Mike Smith, one of the great gentleman's of the game".

 

[rboomercat90]

At least there was some emotion in the third period. Terrible game otherwise. Mike Smith is the same POS he’s always been. Felt sorry for Glass who wanted no part of fighting Milan Lucic. That head on shot of the two of them lined up for the face off said it all. Glass swallowing hard and looking back at the bench before the puck dropped was hilarious, fit with my joke about them drawing straws to see who had to go get Lucic.

 

[Porkleaker]

**** it, call up Ellis and see what he has.

This would be a good idea, but don't expect those to happen on this team.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

**** it, call up Ellis and see what he has.

Yep, him too.

 

[48g90a138pts]

listen to these talking heads.

Smith got himself into that scrum with Lucic. Smith is a cheap POS. He got what was coming too him. And then who? Glass gets pounded for Smith's idiocy. Smith owes Glass.

 

[McJeety McJeet]

I was entertained with the 3rd period, the result doesn’t really matter. We need a point shot on the PP in the worst way going into next year.

 

[frag2]

Team is full of players without a shooters’ mentality.

That includes McDavid.

 

[Nunymare]

Also I laughed

 

[CycloneSweep]

Don't want to see Talbot back. He hasn't had one hot streak that I can recall and has let in the first shot over ten times I believe. Montoya should have started.

Even points early in the season when the team was playing okay he couldn't stop a beach ball. He allowed a goal in the 1st shot of the game for what, the 15th time this season?

I think Bear could be that guy... well on 2nd unit anyway... they still should get another good PP dman.
