[Lunatik]

Not Pauly?

 

[Lunatik]

No Tkachuk, we're ****ed

Plus karma, the thread title has already guaranteed the loss

 

[Bounces R Way]

If ever there was a game to take out some frustration.

f***ing hit somebody you spineless bunch of Nancys.

According to fancy stats, Shore is apparently good at shot suppression.

Not sure what that means, exactly, but it sure sounds good.

Not sure what that means, exactly, but it sure sounds good.

Sometimes I feel like our management and coaches make their decisions with this line of thinking.

 

[CraigsList]

Lol, if Tkachuk and Jankowski are out, we're screwed. That bottom 6 looks atrocious.

1) Tkachuk and Jankowski gone
2) Oilers beating us a lot lately
3) Saddledome
4) Smith (not playing up to par)

The odds are not in our favor at all.

 

[Roadrage]

Final score will be 5-3 Oilers...please, please, please prove me wrong Calgary.

 

[TychoFan]

I never win these bets, and I laid 10k eMoney on the Oilers. Go Flams!

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

According to fancy stats, Shore is apparently good at shot suppression.

These are things that contribute to shot suppression:

- covering the neutral zone with good anticipation
- nixing downlow cycles early
- preventing and breaking up chances in the low slot
- exiting the zone with control

No surprise they're traits that describe Backlund, Bennett, and Shore.

 

[InfinityIggy]

A lot of negativity, but I am excited to see what Shore can do at centre.

I don't think it's Shore people are concerned about

 

[Skobel24]

Is Tkachuk hurt? Why is Janks scratched?

 

[Tofveve]

I think the 3rd and 4th lines could easily switch for the better.

 

[Tofveve]

Go Flam!

 

[Skobel24]

I have zero hope in tonight. Edmonton is playing well, Calgary seems incapable of showing any heart/passion this year when it matters.

Ugly stat of the day: If we lose, we will have only 3 more wins than Edmonton while Oil still have two games in hand... Their season is widely described as a complete failure and what separates these teams is pretty much only a bunch of loser points...

Or we could have won five more of those shootouts/OTs and be in a good playoff spot...

Tank for McDavid! Whooo!!


Wait a minute...

Frustrating when you realize this. Especially the games where, for instance, Gaudreau has a clear breakaway to win and doesn't score.

 

[Janks]

I never win these bets, and I laid 10k eMoney on the Oilers. Go Flams!

I hedged my bet as well with about 300k. Best case, I lose it.

Edit: 380k, close enough.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Frustrating when you realize this. Especially the games where, for instance, Gaudreau has a clear breakaway to win and doesn't score.

I remember when OT games seemed like a guaranteed win, instead we've lost 5/6 of the last 3on3 games we've played.

 

[flames23]

Expecting a high scoring affair with desperation from our troops. Big game from Monahan tonight, he'll mos def light the lamp. I fear McD & Drai, alongside Smith's shaky return, but will try to be positive. Fear 6-2 oil, expect something closer to a 5-3 final, but for which team? Go flames go.

 

[Tkachuky]

I am willing to bet Smith plays a very strong game tonight. Redemption.

 

[Tofveve]

Ok let's be positive. We can do this.

 

[Mobiandi]

Brouwer instead of Stewart it seems
