Good effort on the GDT. Hope our team puts in one .

If we go with that center configuration against the ducks could be a long night. Or short night depending on what you do.

Like last game, even if we lose it hurts Calgary.

Frankly, I want the Ducks to eat shit just about as badly.

No losing today please.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

No Gibson and Miller has been sketchy his last three starts allowing twelve goals.

So, in my opinion this game has one of two outcomes. The Oilers either light him up or he shuts them out. No middle ground.

 

[booyakasha]

the Klefbom - Benning pair is brutal.
Everytime they step on the ice, turns into a WTF!?! moment.
this is their theme song,

In a perfect world, the Kings, Ducks, and Flames all miss. But sadly that likely won't happen.

I just hope we don't have to hear that obnoxious goal horn too many times tonight.

Man it's been 8 months since our season ended in that building and so much has gone wrong since then...

The Flames play a struggling Rangers team at 5 and even if they lose and the Ducks win, the Flames have less games played so they're higher seeded by winning percentage. Plus they overtook second spot last night with San Jose's loss, so at worst they drop to 3rd if they lose to NY in regulation, if Anaheim beats the Oilers and LA beats the Panthers.

I wouldn't see surprised to be them beat the sucks...then again, I can see them laying an egg

who knows with this team

It won't knock the Flames down but it'll keep a team on their heels. The Ducks are more likely to go on a run than Calgary.

Hate. Kill. Destroy.

I don't give a crap if Calgary makes it or not, I just want to beat the Ducks.

Much shorter and sweeter than my post!

It's gonna be a dog fight between the Cali teams and Calgary. L.A. should get Carter back soon so that'll help them. I could see the two teams that finish 4th & 5th in the division also miss the playoffs.

Anaheim LA and San Jose have all missed key players for lengthy amounts of time and Calgary has stayed healthy all season. It's just a matter of time before the injury bug strikes them.

Pretty sad state for our team that we talk about Calgary more in a GTD they are not even involved in.

I think the Central fills up the WC spots. Anyway, just food for thought so if we lose it's not too upsetting.

Yep, with this season at the bottom of the outhouse floor, beating division rivals is qalways nice but losses are also "Meh".

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

This game should've been a battle for 1st in the Pacific if all the off-season predictions came true.
Rivalry loses some of its shine due to how the season has gone for us.

Regardless, we should be out for revenge, even if it has no true impact in the standings.
Let's see how much pride the boys have.

**** the Ducks.
Please win.

I don't give a crap if Calgary makes it or not, I just want to beat the Ducks.

But you live in Hawaii, if you lived in Alberta, and had to hear about the illustrious flames all the time You might feel differently .heh

I think the Oilers win this one. I am disappointed Pacman isn't in the lineup up. He played well again against LA. He's a solid 2 way player, was very physical as always, and even supported puck possession offensively well.

Certainly Pakarinen played better in the game than any of Cammy Cagg, Slepy,

 

[Digger12]

I think a loss tonight would not only stick a fork in whatever faint chance the Oilers had of making a miracle playoff appearance, it would break the collective will of the players and shatter whatever emotional barricades they've constructed to allow them to have any belief that they still had a chance to make it.

I know 99% of outside pundits and fans believe this season was over before this road trip started, but I believe the players themselves still think they have a chance to fix this. Lose tonight in regulation, and I think it will break the back of that dressing room.

We'll see how they respond.

 

[CycloneSweep]

5-3 Ducks cause allowing 5 goals seems to be our forte

 

[FlameChampion]

Even though this team has no realistic chance, I hope we win. I hate the ducks.

 

[Drivesaitl]

It still amazes me theres 30 games left and these are all for nothing games. Seems like old times, sigh.

30 games left? really NHL?

There should be a mercy killing option...

It's not so bad. Arizona and Buffalo were basically talking about the lottery mid-October. It's not so bad... So bad..
