RNH and Hall played like ****. My god, how many times did Hall try that stupid toe drag move to no avail?
Played like **** until 5 minutes left. "With 5 seconds left, destiny starts trying"

As a whole, Calgary isn't very big... certainly not as big as the Kings or Sharks.
It should be noted that until that squeaker opening goal the Oilers were controlling the pace and were all over the Flames. Fragile team is fragile.
We're all repeating ourselves.Very true, thats one of the problems of being such a young team.
I hate to sound like a broken record about this, but it's a frustrating (and I'm sure even more so for the guys playing) that that same goal was called back, by the same two clowns, two nights ago in Edmonton ... but two nights later its a good goal? Where is the consistency? I can understand if it was a different tandem of refs but the same two guys... just so bush league.
I don't know if the Hall-RNH-Eberle line is a defensive nightmare. They're all on the plus side (+3, +2 and +2 respectively) despite struggling 5 on 5 but a strong defensive team can definitely stifle them in the neutral zone and stand them up at the offensive blueline.
The second line is a mess defensively.
Oh, I generally agree that that line doesn't work 5x5; I just don't think that they're hurting the team (yet). There wouldn't be as much pressure on them to perform minute to minute if our ******* veterans were actually worth a damn.Small sample size.
The season will start to expose their 5x5 play IMO...there are too many signs that suggest they will not be plus players much longer.
That line simply doesn't work IMO.
If the Oilers had any quality veteran depth at all that line should RNH, Eberle and a veteran player.

He's too busy finalizing a 5 year 25 million dollar contract for Ryan Whitney.Completely agree.
Here's betting that Tambo does sweet 'f' all to address the issue.

I thought RNH back checked pretty well last night.
