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

[Blitzago*]

Troy Brouwer even called McDavid "the best player in the world" in the post-game......wow, I guess this how Pens fans felt 10-11 years ago when Crosby was taking off.

Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, McDavid....it almost seems a little unfair that these two franchises have split between them half of all generational talents in NHL history.

I'd be seething if I weren't a fan of one of these teams.

Do you have a link to this? I'd like to see that.

Gio also said in the Calgary sun interview that McDavid was probably best in the league lol, the Flames are quickly realizing just how good he is.

I think Giordano was supposed to be Seabrook and Brodie = Keith, at some point Hiller was supposed to be Crawford too.

Kylington = Karlsson too even though hes not Chicago.

Monahan = Toews

It's crazy to see how the defense reacts when he gets the puck, it's almost instant panic mode and they start turning around to skate towards their own end.

Thank's for that, it's nice to see other NHLer's recognize it.

Orr and Howe would have something to say about that.

Haha

"Dear rest of the league,

We dealt with him for our first 2 games.. you guys can do it for a while now for **** sakes"

To think Flames fans were adamant that little Johnny was better than McDavid based upon a couple lucky bounces at the World Cup, even going so far as to swarm Sportsnet articles spewing vitriol at our captain.

It was never a question. The crying little Johnny pictures will get a lot of play around here, what a baby. He's not cut from the same cloth as our captain.

I was waiting for someone to post this.

Gets me every time

Perfect! Lol!

I actually think this is unfair to Johnny.. while I agree he is not on the same level as McDavid he is an incredibly skilled and exciting hockey player and I wouldn't call him a baby. That's just what his face looks like.
Haha

You guys whooped us pretty good, no question. I don't think you got anywhere close to our best game from our players, especially in transition and on defence being that we're not fully caught up on our systems yet. Then you add in playing a guy with McDavid's speed the first 2 games, well he really exposed that weakness.

I'm not an Oilers fan, in fact I hate your team lol. But I love hockey, and I love our rivalry, I enjoy getting to watch McDavid play as much as I do, it was odd seeing your team win the physical game, and seeing your defence being competent. You guys won the Hall/Larsson deal and I said so from day 1. FWIW, I don't see how you don't make the playoffs this year.

Anyways, I look forward to some exciting hockey and hopefully the good guys get the next win.

I suppose even enemies can show respect from time to time. The Battle of Alberta being relevant is a good thing. That was exciting hockey.

Get used to us owning you now. This is just the beginning .

I agree, I would still take him on the oilers in a heartbeat over any forward not named Mcdavid and Draisaitl.

I hate the flame's and he makes them worth watching, just as some of them watch the oilers for McDavid.

No such emotion as hate, only love or fear, and i can clearly see which one you have. Thanks for posting.

Barring a Kings collapse because of Quick's LTIR, or some other miraculous happen stance, I don't see how we do.

But thanks for the vote of confidence, nonetheless. I think the Oilers and Flames will be pretty even in standings.

Nhl.com says Larsson had zero hits last night. Was the stats guy sleeping or in the bathroom or something.

Hits are a weird stat. I think to get credited for an actual hit you have to separate the man from the puck. If he's dished it off and you finish your check, it doesn't get recorded as a hit. But I might be wrong.
