Marky hasn't looked great tonight, but A) Three of those goals have been the product of some pretty bad down-low/rush coverage, and B) McDavid?

The fact that the Oilers have been as awful as they have been with... that on their team is one of the most damning indictments of roster construction that you'll ever see.

I think we're beginning to see the fatigued version of Marky here after being ridden into the ground...

I really thought the Flames would be the 2nd best team in the division.

Same. I expected them to be better than what they've shown in this recent batch of games, what with having added Markstrom and Tanev to shore up their back end. Having Tkachuk-Lindholm to support their top line with Backlund as 3C should be giving them better forward depth, yet they've looked thoroughly mediocre at 5v5.

Markstroms got worn down playing less consecutive games on the Canucks. The flames are running him like this during a condensed season. It's ridiculous.

As much as markstroms is better, Rittich is good enough to run 1/4 games.

Never bought the Calgary hype, even with Markstrom and Tanev. The only reason they looked good against us early cause we were shit.

Another Oilers goal, this game is well over.

The Canucks are now third from the bottom in league winning percentage. The "woosh" we'll hear over the next couple of weeks will be teams passing Vancouver in the standings as they make up games in hand.

Koskinen saw that all the way because Lindholm ain't doing shit with the puck. No fakes or anything.

If Oilers make the playoffs Mcdavid cruises to his second hart. If he wasn't on a shit team before he'd have more as well.

All at the tender age of 24. When it's all said and done his trophy case is gonna blow Crosby's out of the water.

All those individual awards are great, but Connor needs to lead his team to a Cup.
