Flames are 1 point behind the Oilers and need to get a head of them. Flames 4-2.

Would be a huge win, I really hope GW can get this one under his belt.

We get our ass kicked and the fanbase goes into meltdown.

Also, how dare you make this thread a day early... I was going to do that!

Flames are 1 point behind the Oilers and need to get ahead of them.

Flames lose 4-0.

The battle for the right to select lafrenier starts at the end of this game


I am ready if we lose this game. Lafrenier'd look nice on flames jerseys

 

[JPeeper]

If we lose I burn all of HF to the ground. If we win I burn Edmonton to the ground.

Seriously though, don't lose.

McDavid is a shrinking violet in physical games and it's surprisingly easy to get in his head if you can catch him. Rattle him early and we win the game.

Kylington better be in

Edit: This will also be a litmus test as to whether Ward can get his team prepared for big games. The stakes are lower than a playoff game but if they come out flat like they did in the Gully era, it won't bode well for him

 

[InfinityIggy]

We winning.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Mike Smith 60 save shutout and James Neal with 6 goals all on the PP.

Flames coming off a break against a team that hates us featuring the best player in the league and a pair of former Flames from last year with something to prove... yeah what a fun time this’ll be lol

Yup I see it this way as well. I think it’s a pretty big game for Ward. If he wins I will have a lot more faith in him going forward. It’s gonna be a tight shitty game with Tippett at the helm, and it’s in Edmonton so yeugh.

Flames lay an egg, Mark Spector writes an article proclaiming that this is the beginning of the Oilers' dynasty, each team goes on opposite 7-game streaks immediately after and the internet collectively points and laughs at him.

 

[NoMoSnow]

Backs poke checks McDavid at our blue line and proceeds to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge through the entire Oiler lineup to produce a breakaway where he shoots high and wide. Smith stick handles the puck into his own net for the game winner. Glorious.

 

[Tofveve]

I think the Flames will go nuts for the rest of the month and January up to the All Star Break. Then after the ASB they stay on the Jan tear breaking from tradition.

 

[King In The North]

We need this win bois

Mark Spector and Gene Principe start planning a parade and simply gush over all things Oilers.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Lucic hatty, Flames win 3-0.

 

[Tkachuky]

In the spirit of Christmas and then Holidays, I will put away my hatred for the team up north.

I hope we have a fun and exciting game toni.... yeah right... f*** the oilers.

GO FLAMES GO

 

[Nanuuk]

Lucic hatty, Flames win 3-0.

Or a Gordie Howe hat trick!

 

[Deen]

Big game for us here. Can't lose or give Edmonton points. Let's go to war boys.

Obligatory:
