Post-Game Talk: Oilers go Super Fly and win 5-3

[GMofOilers]

That was a beast of a shift by Lucic at the end.

No complaints from me tonight! Pp 50% tonight

Still a little sloppy but I like how TM is running the bench!

 

[Vagabond]

Great game! Very entertaining to watch. Was like a blast from the 80's.

 

[tinfish]

Thought the fly should have gotten a star

 

[SourOil]

Still the refs fault, right Calgary?

 

[snipes]

Right here McTrashboat.

Kept the faith the whole time.

 

[nabob]

Flames averaging 6 GA per game. Hahaha. But hey let's blame last years goalies for that.

 

[Paralyzer]

I nominate snipes as the HFOil MVP....always positive, never say die, great attitude!

AND WHAT ABOUT ME?!?! I said this team would be better without Hall and Yakupov!

 

[Husker Du]

Such a great win after the brutal first period.

 

[Faelko]

Very proud of the team tonight. Bad first, but we persevered.

Standouts for the game:

McDavid
Larsson
Eberle
Russell
Letestu
Lucic

and snipes for his faith, and attitude!

Don't forget Kassian, proving to be very reliable, making lots of smart plays

 

[Klimando Kostani]

Called it in the GDT.

Oilers 5 Flames 3.

Hell yeah.

Good call buddy.

Snipes, thanks for staying positive

 

[Spawn]

Very impressed with how the team responded after that horrible first period.

Super solid final 2 periods.

McDavid and Eberle were great tonight. Eberle always seems to bring it against Calgary.

**** me, Russell was stellar for a second game in a row too.

And Lucic with two great passes for two Dr. Drai goals. Nice to see him get on the board.

Team still needs to play a full 60 minutes. Can't go taking periods off like they did tonight and expect to win a tonne of games. But seriously great bounce back.

Talbot can't keep letting in shots like the one he let in off Frolik in the first. Those are just killers. But he responded nicely afterwards.

 

[Arpeggio]

Lucic had a solid third after a couple of bad periods. I wouldn't be opposed to moving the LWs around, but I think Lucic is just going to continue to get better and better as the year goes on.

McDavid is the best player I've ever seen play hockey. What he does at full speed is just unbelievable.

Letestu and Kassian look a lot better than last year.

 

[MessierII]

Lucic just demonstrated the element of board battle winning the Oilers have not had in a long while.

Well deserved empty net apple. Literally outbattles like 3 guys and got that pass off.

 

[Faelko]

AND WHAT ABOUT ME?!?! I said this team would be better without Hall and Yakupov!

honourable mention!

 

[RipsADrive]

The Oilers lose this game without Russell and Larsson.

(Also McDavid but that goes without saying.)

 

[CupofOil]

The Oilers are Lord of the Flies.

Past Oiler teams lose this game in blowout fashion. This isn't your big brother's Oilers anymore.
I know he won't get much mention but Nuge was a 2 way beast in the last 2 periods, just all over the puck in all zones. Larsson is a freaking god send, I feel so comfortable with him and Klef on the ice although the 1st was dicey and Looch deserves a lot of credit for a great 3rd period. Russell was great again, I almost wish that they have him a multi-year deal now.

Great team win and a winnable game against Buffalo. I like this winning thing, lets keep doing it.

Appreciate it brother. But this victory belongs to the guys on the ice and all of us who stand by the squad. A new era is beginning.

Feels good y'all

Multiple times that shift. No one was getting that puck off of him.

Lmfao. Yes!

u know drai had 3 points and was amazing on the dot right ???

 

[Mr Positive]

the really encouraging thing is that we still have room to improve

 

[McPuritania]

Don't forget Kassian, proving to be very reliable, making lots of smart plays

Yeah, he was very good. Outside of the first, everyone had a great game. Well, besides Pouliot.

 

[slaman]

Now THAT'S a stat!

The team showed some impressive resilience in this game. That was yet another game that this team would have lost last season.

I am very impressed.
