GDT: Preseason Game #4 - CondOilers @ Flames - 7pm MST - Online

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Campbell being good again would be a game changer. He’s capable of providing .920 over moderate periods of time and if he does that again this season we’ll be laughing.

Tease me more....

What were the 3 C’s in the Flames dressing room again?
Concern, Concede, Cooked?

I kid I kid.. fun preseason game from our B squad though. Kulak was really chippy

Pretty sure one of the C's is Choke

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Crow Choke Cope

Campbell playing a .910 SV% this year means we're probably winning the President's Trophy.

I believe he was a career 0.916 when he headed into Edmonton last year. I think solid D zone play will help immensely

3Cs….choke, choker and chokest…

Never settle for less.

I know some of us are excited over Campbell's play tonight.. but maybe it's better we wait to see how he does against a real NHL team.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Skinner first star last game, Campbell first star tonight. Jennings here we come.

All the goalies playing well in pre-season means we're screwed.

The CP inbreds reactions after:

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Jeebus it’s just a preseason game. Even so though if you’re dressing your top ten players and the other teams best players are Foegle and Ryan you’d better win

 

[Da McBomb]

I wonder what Holloway's ceiling is... games like tonight make me wonder if he has top6 potential. He has great speed and a great shot. Maybe he'll be one of those players who is a great 3rd liner but could also fill in top6 minutes at times as well.

Haha they were actually going to be happy with that win?

Flame fans are guzzling that pre season kool-aid.

 

[guymez]

Holloway deserves to make the big club

Yup...in the spot that Kostin vacated.

Their team should have started a rebuild 2 years ago. Instead, they are facing many years of mediocrity and nothing to look forward to.

Scheme changes seem to really be having an impact, hopefully we see a similar result in season. Team has had three 2-1 results and minus the meltdown 3rd period against Winnipeg, they haven’t gave up much.

 

[Louis Cypher]

He isn’t a finisher. It is what it is.

Finished well tonight.

His skill level is on par with guys like Hyman and Brown IMO.

If he takes mentorship and models his game after those guys I believe his ceiling could be in that ballpark.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Holloway will be something. We all Oiler fans we'll see. His scoring touch is a little off. Once he hits it, look out. That speed, determination, force, shot. Watch out

 

[Oilers in NS]

does anyone have a stream that I could watch today from last night game? Long day at work and I'd like to watch it

 

[Oilers in NS]

seen the 10 min highlites on Youtube so hard to grade any players but the ones that stood out
Holloway
Foegele
Campbell

Holloway has wheels and has looked good in preseason. Be interesting line if they put him with Foegele and McLeod. All have wheels but stone hands.

It's preseason with rosters full of AHLers and vets going at half speed. Nothing is being genuinely tested, and you can't assess anything they're doing until the games start being played for real.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Things that only amuse me.

Flames 10 nothing win over canucks meant something and tonight's game meant nothing. According to some posters elsewhere.

For me pre season means next to nothing until the last few days

I mean the entire preseason is meaningless.

It's just funny to see Flames fans go from high to low in a manner of minutes.

Not to mention Campbell and Skinner were the first-stars in back to back games.
Without sounding overly cynical, I wouldn't read too much into our supposed defensive prowess just yet.
