Razmatazz best game of the season imo

Mikey can’t keep his legs closed lmao

He was great vs the Avalanche with us , he wasn't very good vs Chicago last year.

Last year's play-in series was operationally more similar to pre-season than playoffs. Mike Smith is always terrible in pre-season, so it was unsurprising.

He has a .934 in the playoffs, so I'm not sure the claim that he isn't good in the playoffs is valid.

Man, I love that defensive IQ from Ryan when Draisaitl was tryna hold it on the half wall

 

[Mobiandi]

Bad team beats awful team. Make the playoffs so I don't have to watch this team ruin another high draft pick

 

[Boomstick]

Way to go Flames. Markstrom played well after the 1st goal. Happy Flames fan.
Always nice to beat the Oilers.

No 3 point night for 97 tonight.
4-5 vs Oilers, I'm pretty happy with that, we didn't look so good vs them earlier in the year.
Onto the next one.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Huzzah and such!

 

[JurassicTunga]

Edmonton is no good.

Nice win!

He's so much the neighborhood bicycle.

FLAMES WIN!

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

14th overall herrreeee weee commeeee

 

[Mobiandi]

Draisaitl played 28:49 on their 3rd game in 4 nights

 

[DomBarr]

14th overall herrreeee weee commeeee

With a lottery win to be able to ruin another 4th overall.

 

[Body Checker]

Might have been our most complete game of the year.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Ughh we'd be tied with Montreal if we won the other night.

 

[super6646]

Marky battled back big time.

Flames keeping me in it ofc. Les sigh

 

[Ogi1Kenobi]

Flames are 4-5 against the Oilers, but 2-6 against the Sens? LOL

It happens all the time in sports, some teams just play/match-up better against some than others.

I hope we pick Lambos if we’re picking mid first. I think he could be that piece we are going to need on the backend in a few years.

That or trade down 6 times and get all the third round picks possible in this crazy draft

Yeah, I know. I just find it funny. This team struggles more with the Sens than the Leafs or the Oilers.

 

[Mobiandi]

Re-sign Nesterov

 

[DFF]

I chose to watch the NFL draft instead


That’s how much I care a flames winning now

 

[Mazatt]

Sometimes I'm watching the game and I see Mangiapane make a beautiful move, Dube tries a power move to the net, Backlund with a steal and a solid pass, or the current first line does anything good and I think "Wow, things might not be so bad next year" until I remember every single other piece on this roster.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Very focused group tonight. First to loose pucks, not as much reaching and guessing, Flames had the Oilers hemmed in for long periods in this game. Looked much more settled and less jumpy than they did in the third against the Habs last game. Top line especially were all very good.

Marky another solid performance, I know this board is pretty down on him but I still have more faith in him bouncing back to being a top tier goalie next season than I've ever had in Rittich, Elliott, Talbot, or Smith.

Obviously it all still feels too little too late but I'm glad we don't have a coaching black cloud hanging over us for next season.

 

[Anglesmith]

We have now shut down McDavid in two consecutive BoAs. This marks a refreshing change.
