Post-Game Talk: ★ Young Stars Tournament ☆ Game 1: Calgary 5 - Edmonton 2 FINAL

[Calculon]

Poirier makes it 5-2.

 

[1989]

Poirier scores off the rebound from Sieloff's blazing shot at the point!

5 - 2 Calgary!

And now Sieloff's in the box.

I really hope Sieloff cracks the Flames roster one day.

I really hope Sieloff cracks the Flames roster one day.

I just don't hope he does it literally. (Cracking people until he's in the lineup)

I wouldn't mind that. Survival of the fittest, right?

concentrate!

 

[MonahanTheMan]

I really hope Sieloff cracks the Flames roster one day.

Me too, I really like his physical element. Imagine him at age 27, comfortable in the NHL and racking up hits and PIMs every night against other teams' tiny forwards.

 

[Anglesmith]

I have been unimpressed by Wotherspoon on a couple of plays tonight. I was hoping for him to show really well here.

Not hitting the panic button at all yet, though.

 

[Calculon]

The Oilers defense has been no where near as good as advertised. The Flames forwards group is strong, but even then, guys like Klefbom and Nurse should be better.

The feed's also skipping a lot.

Not having those issues, myself.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

My feed is lagging a bit.

 

[MonahanTheMan]

Great kill on the two-man advantage. These Oiler forwards are not exactly top-flight but I think we're sending a message to other teams.

 

[herashak]

I hope sieloff wont be taking a bunch of stupid penalties in the nhl (not saying he has this game, i havent watched him) he seems to have a hot head, thats good and bad.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Nurse has been less than impressive.

 

[The Gnome]

Kerr and Principe are priceless!

Kerr and Principe are priceless!

I'm starting to think its Simmer who is making all our PBP guys look bad. I used to like Simmer but he has as much opinion and excitement as a rug.

 

[BRobMint]

Great job boys. Lets do it again next game.

 

[1989]

Oh, how I've missed you, sweet, sweet hockey.

Final score 5 - 2 for Calgary and it was a well-played game from the boys in red - a good mix of defensive responsibility, offensive creativity, and grittiness.

But let's be honest, it was a poor game for the Oilers' highly-lauded defence as well.

 

[MarkGio]

I managed to make it home to watch Poirer score and Kulak save the day. God I missed hockey

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

You can put it in the win column!


Good game by the team. Monahan is always at the right place at the right time it seems!

 

[MarkGio]

So who stood out?

I thought our blueline was really good. With so much hype around the Oilers defense I thought the Flames looked to have a deeper blueline

 

[1989]

I managed to make it home to watch Poirer score and Kulak save the day. God I missed hockey

It was Culkin saving the day I believe.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Brossoit was solid as a rock all game.
