Pre-Game Talk: flams @ Oilers

[BoldNewLettuce]

Even though this displeases Soli....I'm not sure if someone else is making a gdt.

Any news on who is playing tonight? Is Hrudey preparing his notes for the broadcast?

This would've been a great schedule if the Oilers had made the playoffs.

Nice to get to watch them play again after a big break. All I hope is that McDavid comes out flying. Don't care about anything else regarding this one.

Please beat the ****ing Flames, I'm so sick of all the fans around Calgary who act like the Flames are so much better then the Oilers because of a flukey run last year, and hearing about how their players are so much better then any of ours...if I hear they are the next Blackhawks one more time I'm gonna lose my ****.

Hoping McDavid has a big night and Nuge is back.

This will be the first game I'll have watched in a while. At the beginning of the season I made several bets we would finish ahead of the Flames in the standings.

It's made the last few weeks bearable to actually have something to follow.

If we win tonight and pull within a point, it'll be a nail-biter to the end of the season. We lose, and I think it's all over to try and catch the flames.

What do you all think our chances are of catching the Flames in points by season's end?

Very unlikely. Even if the Oilers somehow win out, the Flames will have three games to get only three points.

A 6-5 regulation loss with McDavid getting 5 points would be an ideal scenario

There is no universe where losing to the Flames is an ideal scenario.

10-0 Oilers.

You have to look at the bigger picture. Yes, I hate losing to the flames, but if losing to them means that they have a lower chance at #1 overall then I'll take the loss

As the Oilers have proven a couple of times already, the increased chance doesn't really mean much

Very true

Hoping for an 8-2 blowout and I think this is out last win of the season.

If we lose this game I'll look forward to Hall, Hopkins, Eberle AND Yakupov ALL being traded over the next two seasons.
