- Projected Lineups. Hemsky is out (foot). Iginla is out (Penguins), Bouwmeester is out (Blues).

- The Oilers tonight can close out the season series of the Battle of Alberta with a 3-1 advantage. This is a game where we need to rediscover our offensive side and try to bottle it for the final bunch of games.

- Relevant encounters today: Philly (37pts) vs. Buffalo (38pts); Tampa (36pts) vs. Washington

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

4-1 Calgary.

 

[NAF]

I'm guessing a 2-1 sleeper. Don't even care who wins at this point.

 

[CorpseFX]

im torn between missing hockey after so long and wanting this sad team to get to the off-season.

 

[Six in O6]

If the "top" line show up, we win. No questioins asked. I hope it isn't too hard to get fired up for the BOA.

 

[molsonmuscle360]

I'm gonna be watchign the TUF finale tonight, because at least I know something crazy exciting will happen there with the Uriah Hall fight.

 

[BarDownBobo]

Thought I heard yesterday MacDonald is playing for the Flames. Could see this game going either way...

 

[thadd]

WOW Fistric, Smithson, Brown and Petrel to be playing in the same game? Hope I can catch the last period and a half. Will be sure to rush home from work!

 

[Connor McOilers]

Come on guys, have to still be pumped to play the lames... And they just lost Tanguay, I want another blowout with multi point night for yak to really get him in the calder discussion.

 

[Six in O6]

Thought I heard yesterday MacDonald is playing for the Flames. Could see this game going either way...

Interesting. He played last night too vs PHX. Writing is pretty much on the wall for Kipper then.

 

[BarDownBobo]

Maybe they were talking about the game last night then. I'm not sure.

 

[molsonmuscle360]

Interesting. He played last night too vs PHX. Writing is pretty much on the wall for Kipper then.

They were saying around the trade deadline (think it might have been Keenan) that talked to Kipper and he said he was very tired this year. He's that old plow horse that you used to till your farm for 15 years. Never gets a break, nobody to really take the load off his shoulders. I would almost think it's just as much mental fatigue as it is his body just not working like it used to.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

The Oil need this one in regulation to keep some distance between them and the Flames. If they put in another "not givin' a ****" performance, the Flames are suddenly 3 points back.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

I'll be at the game tonight and it's the Flames so I hope the Oilers win big. After that I'll be cheering for well played games that end in 1 goal losses in regulation for the rest of the season.

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

The effort in the game against Phoenix totally destroyed my confidence for this team.The game was so important,and so many players through out the game played like they didn't even care.




To me,the offseason can't come quick enough.

 

[NedPlimpton]

eh, you guys are crazy.

I'm looking forward to this game and I hope the dudes actually put in some effort tonight.

Playoffs are more or less out of reach, I know, but I still want a strong finish to the season, and beating the flames always feels good.

 

[Oilception]

7-1 Oilers

(Hall x2, Yakupov x2, Paajarvi, Whitney, Eberle)

all i have been doing lately is studying and writing Final exams. Could use a nice exciting game for a break before im back at it tomorrow.

 

[nitz]

I think it'll be really entertaining or really boring.

Luckily, Toronto-Montreal is also on tonight.

 

[Soli]

Nikolai Khabibulin starts.

 

[oilers2k10]

Flames are gonna come out hard because they wanna get back at Oilers but I think in the end Oil Swagger will just take over.

6-1 Oilers
Yak gets 4 goals, Eberle gets into a duke'em nukem match rock n roll style.

 

[oilersfan87]

3-1 oilers

 

[Turrican*]

This may be out final win of te season.
I'll be watching. Never shy away from watching the flamers get embarrassed.

 

[Comrade Blunderbore]

what does the 'coilers' nickname Flames fans call Oilers mean? i don't understand it. i assume that has to stand for something unpleasant, but what exactly?

 

[ales83fan]

such a waste of everyone's time.

other than hall and a small group of others, not even the players care about how these games turn out.

 

[Slicknitty]

I had pancakes today. They were pretty darn good.

That's not chocolate btw
