GDT: Game 55: Battle of Alberta - Flames @ Oilers - 8 PM

[Drivesaitl]

I want to some emotion, some hard hitting, come out hard and set the tone. This is Calgary ffs. Let’s GO!

This is SPARTA!!!!

Nah, not really. Its the sadsack flames. As longstanding fans we feel the bad blood. As the latest incarnation of the Oilers all they would see in their tenure is the Flames are flunkies.

But for the Flames this is their SC. if they won this game they'd put a banner up or something.

You have a point but after that painful Minny game this ought to be gold..

who’s calling the action tonight? Singh I’m guessing, ugh.

Screw calgary

 

[tardigrade81]

Mcintyre won the chamber. Friggin awesome!

Anyway. Go oilers !

 

[McDrai]

If we lose this place is going to be an insane asylum lol

 

[Kerberos]

8-2 Oilers win.

McDavid with 2g, 2a.

 

[Stoneman89]

I just can't take the guy seriously with the last name like that (The Slavic root carries the meaning of 'Ruler"). Sounds like a pornstar alias. lol.

Vladar the Impaler?

Starring in "A Knight's Tail"

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

If we lose this place is going to be an insane asylum lol

Oh yeah

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Losing to the Wild pisses me off more than losing to Calgary because them winning doesn’t help them at all.

Going out of my comfort zone and having a whiskey for the game

Too much line juggling lately. I'd like to see Knob go back to some lines that have worked and try Holloway between Kane and Perry if he hasn't already:

Nuge - McDavid - Hyman
Mcleod - Drai - Foegele
Kane - Holloway - Perry
Janmark - Ryan - Brown/Gagner

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Brown will not score tonight, hopefully he watches this one from the pb.

Need to get brownie going.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Hey Markstrom wanna start against the Oilers?

… I gotta take a shit

Going out of my comfort zone and having a whiskey for the game

Whiskey and a teen burger ?

Ever since Markstrom got embarrassed in the playoffs he's been too scared to face the oil ever again

No.

Who?berdeau and the no extension gang make their way north to a real hockey market

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I remember before the season started and I listened to an ep of spittin chiclets and they predicted the Flames would finish ahead of Vancouver and make the playoffs. I didn’t think van would be this good but I absolutely had them ahead of the flames and likely making the playoffs, just compare their cores, nucks had elite talent in all the key roles, flames absolutely had nothing.

Idk why the media has a soft spot for the Flames. Imagine if we had one of those rapists on our team? We’d never hear the end of it.

They’re missing their 1st this year too right? Send them to the basement and have them watch someone else use their pick.

 

[Oilers in NS]

I think this game will tell us a lot about our team.

Also Brown with a goal tonight.

Goal?
Or
FG by Charlie?

Pickard scores before Brown

Brown doesn't even need to score. Let's say he gets a goal and leads to more because he's less tense about it. If he finished the season with like 7 goals or whatever is that really so great? There are better scorers than Brown on the fourth line, but a better scorer will pot one, like every 10 games or more? It's not a big deal.

As long he has good PK performance like last game and pushes the puck the right direction, he's got a spot on this team. After a bad stretch he can be in the PB, which is no different than other bottom sixers such as Janmark.

But yes, at this point it would be silly to scratch Brown. He just had a good game. We don't have some great player to switch him with

If I read this correctly, if he scores it will just put undue pressure on him to deliver more?

Shark has officially been jumped.
