GDT: Oilers @ Flames, the "Is the Season Over Yet" Edition, HNIC

[JurassicTunga]

hahaha stupid oilers. love beating them. no matter the time of year.
Missing some good players and we still beat em. Does McLottery ever leave the ice, btw?

 

[Mobiandi]

Got the Stockton Flames out there and the Oilers show they're still McDavid+Draisaitl+18 jabronis

 

[DCDM]

A win!

 

[FlamerForLife]

Undefeated against the Oilers in the Nick Shore era.

 

[Tofveve]

We won!!!! Yippee skippeee!!

 

[TkachuksMouthguard]

At least we can still beat the Oilers. Bittersweet.

 

[Boomstick]

Yay, way to go Flames. I always hope Mike Smith has a shot at an open net, but it wasn't meant to be. Would be perfect against our opposition tonight. Nice to see my avatar play in the NHL tonight.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Lucic is the best Oiler of all time. That contract will haunt them in their sleep.

 

[Mobiandi]

Refs should've let them go

 

[flames23]

Glad we won. Nice to see for Smitty. Bookend the losing streak w two wins vs the oil. Beauty.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

BIG ERN!

2014-2015 was such a great season. Honestly, it's one of my favourite seasons.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Common boys. Need this one.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Good win. Oilers are brutal even with their fancy high picks.


But by God, Bennett is being misused.

 

[BigRangy]

Got the Stockton Flames out there and the Oilers show they're still McDavid+19 jabronis

Fix'd

I really hate that the Flames benchmark for success is "better than the Oilers" because they are no goddamn good

Either way, the win assures that the Flames finish ahead of the grease this season

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I always thought this sort of role would be awesome for Big Ern, but I never expected it to be a real thing so I'm glad this worked out for him.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Good win. Oilers are brutal even with their fancy high picks.


But by God, Bennett is being misused.

Watching Bennett not put away that sick toe-drag was so frustrating. If he could just find a way to finish he would be such a hugely productive player.

We lost the corsi battle though so it’s basically a loss

If I learned anything from this game is that I'm totally OK with Smith being the starter next year. Even counting the 1st goal. And that the Oilers are still really bad with no decent veterans around McDavid. Their blueline is absolutely inept.

Would of liked to see Ferland jump in on Lucic there.

 

[herashak]

Pencil neck McDavid got supplexed then put in a camel clutch, squeeze out a glass of jabroil and feed it to Kevin Lowe for taste testing for new exotic drink options at Rogers place

 

[JPeeper]

I know McDavid is young, but the Oilers are going to run this kid into the ground. Guy basically plays the entire 3rd period of these games.

Also mind blowing to think how many high picks the Oilers have had, 4 1sts, 3rd overall, 4th overall, 7th overall, and like 7 high round 2nds, yet have 2 whole good players to show for it and no depth at either forward or defence.

How in the hell can you be so shit with so many good draft picks + a generational player. Just hilarious. And this is with McDavid and Drai in their ELC days, LOL.

Guaranteed the Oilers are a cup favourite going into next year too by every media outlet even though we all know they will make no meaningful changes and be equally shit as this. Last year was a fluke, riding an insane PDO like the Flames did the year they beat the Nucks.

 

[DFF]

I think the Oilers need Glen Gulutzan. His great system will solve their problems

 

[DFF]

If I learned anything from this game is that I'm totally OK with Smith being the starter next year. .

Maybe but we need a good backup and a f***ing coach that is willing to bench him when he goes bad cause he does that some times

 

[Lunatik]

Lucic is such a piece of ****. Brouwer get in there and earn that ****ing paycheck

The guy wearing a cage because of facial fractures is supposed to fight? What kind of sadistic prick are you?
