GDT: Flames vs. Oilers, Preseason Game #5 of 8

[Boomstick]

I might be setting a new season record of F-bombs this year.

Radio. Every time.

Would you rather:

a) have the ability to watch the game from home, but the replays will be used to cancel every Flames goal.

b) go back to the time when you could only listen on the radio, but the goals stand.

c) f*** the Oilers

[Lunatik]

Positive. All our goalies are playing well thus far

 

[Boomstick]

Did he say #30 Dan Vladar? Or did I mishear #80?

I thought I heard that too.

 

[Mobiandi]

3rd period PP goal against and OT loss. Flames are already in midseason form against Edmonton

It'll be sweeter when we beat them in the regular season.

Hilariously awful lineup to lose to. Best time to do it, of course. Get those late third period jitters out in sept.

Oiler fan here, Just wanted to say Chris Snow is in my prayers, Way more important things in life than Hockey!~ #F#CKALS

If Nick Ritchie was still on the team, he would never have allowed such a travesty to occur.

Overall a meh game. The Oiler B squad basically played a rope a dope trap game and did it well. Campbell was good, but faced few high danger chances.

Flames, meanwhile, played their system and for the most part controlled play. When they did get into trouble our 4 line was on the ice and one time Poirier got left behind in a hurry for a scoring chance. Not that I'm blaming the kid. Being late to camp from his injury he literally has some catching up to do.

Players that impressed me - Coronato (I watched him without the puck), Poirier (kid has talent and wasn't as bad in our zone as I thought he might be), Solovyov (he is going to be a good reliable D), Vladar (dialed in and stayed cool most of the game).

Honourable mention to Kadri. Played with energy.

Wasn't impressed with our PP. Too much passing (cough, Huby) and not enough shooting.

Wasn't impressed with our lack of physicality. That is going to haunt us this season. Not that we need a guy to chuck knuckles. We do need to body check or it will be a long season.
