Post-Game Talk: Oilers 1 Flames 0

[Porkleaker]

tbh when the horn went off at the end I thought the flames tied it,,That'd be a total Talbot move.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

so has Kassian rescinded his trade request? cause he's had more bite to his game since the tmac firing

That line is easily our best line and has been for a few games - even with all of the scoring. They have hard comps, and it seems like they're player possession hockey in the o-zone.

 

[RalphKing]

Weird game but very good to get the W

 

[TheNumber4]

Is it me or is the puck on Drai’s stick way too much and not enough on McDavid’s. Also, might be an unpopular opinion but Drai killing way too many plays.

Drai was frustrating this game.

If there's anyone left who isn't a Hitchcock fan... you're not an Oilers fan. That game was a defensive clinic and you can't lose when they can't score.

I was hyped from the start and I'm still blown away by the progress.

 

[Yablo21]

Feels!

 

[KarmaPolice]

Oh, I'm you better bet I'm even more excited now!



The Flames blew their wad in games past. Should've just edged themselves, but nope. And that's what you get.

Wildcard spot currently? Just for a few hours?

 

[GodPucker]

Kosk is 6-0 at home and has given up 6 goals in those games

 

[iCanada]

What a friggen save. Unreal.

 

[ZJuice]

Larsson was protecting Johnny from any errant pucks, what a sweet man

 

[Megamanzero]

Feels good winning must win games

 

[space321]

that's 3 hours i'll never get back, but at least we won i guess...

those powerplays were brutal

 

[DaGap]

How did we suck?

No, not really.

I see you both still have the googles on.

Power play was aweful
Neutral zone play was pathetic
Possesion time was a joke
Draisaitl looked like he was to tired to do anything
Nobody can hit the net

Yeah we sucked but the goalie bailed us out

 

[Del Preston]

Wildcard spot currently? Just for a few hours?

About two minutes.

 

[Paralyzer]

Eat dick flames

Best in the West my ass.

We will teach your Grandma to suck eggs!

it's amazing what kind of difference it makes when a coach plays guys to their strenghts eh

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

That Klefbom clear had me pulling out my hair.

That wasn't an attempted clear it was an attempted relay pass to Pulju hoping for him to either take the puck or smack it out, Pulju didn't pick up the pass coming to him till late and it just looked like a bad clear attempt cause the play wasn't executed properly

Whatever you say.

The PP was a joke and Draisaitl struggled. The other stuff is nonsense.
It was a bit of a struggle in the 3rd at times but they played a good team, that stuff happens.

[yukoner88]

best thing about this win????? REGULATION WIN BABY!!!!

 

[TheNumber4]

Does Kosko have the League Leading Save Percentage after this SO? Should be close.

I mean.. we hit 3 posts on the PP.

We outshot the flames with score effects.

Draisaitl played well.

... We outshot the flames? They can't hit the net either?

Calgary's goaltender was just as good if not better than ours.

 

[McXLNC97]

Getting the win is huge. Important game.

Now if only we could get the PP sorted out. Gotta learn to put teams away with the amount of high danger chances we get.

Not converting on those and wasting 3 PP's in the 3rd period is gonna give Hitch a lot to harp on, despite the W.

And Kostko. What else needs to be said... the guy is a stud. He is soooo good.

I think McDavid's gotta switch to the left side and setup there....right now there's no one time option when he goes across the ice to Nuge.
