Oilers have 7 goals on 19 shots

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

The North division is f***ing embarrassing.

 

[The Turtle]

You get a 7-1 win over your rivals and you feel the need to complain? Lol yikes man. Cheer up.

Complain about what?

How bad the shames were?

 

[voxel]

I really thought the Flames would have a stronger backend.

I thought the Flames had better forwards/offense to be honest. They are close to Ottawa level suckage in GF.

 

[DrewGl]

It's called the Northern Division

 

[TheHelmet]

Calgary had 16 dangerous scoring chances.
and No, most of their shots were not from the outside.

Not taking anything away from either team, and not a fan of either team.
But some have mentioned most of their shots were from the outside......... Yeah NO

After watching the game, I wouldn't characterize the Flames game as anything even close to dangerous lol.

 

[The Pale King]

Imagine being so brutal that your only goal is scored on a flubbed goaltender interference call.

Cow town needs a rebuild.

I glanced at your avatar just enough to note it was red and was like "hmm surprisingly accurate self-assessment from a Flames fan".

Then I looked back and noticed my mistake.

 

[InfinityIggy]

The shots look lopsided but I feel like Edmonton has had the better scoring chances.

They did undeniably. This loss isn’t on the Goalies, squarely on the D and more importantly Ward.

McDavid gave a gift to the Flames tonight by exposing our incompetent coach.

Dangerous scoring chances are in the slot.
their shot map is not showing a vast majority of their shots were from distance or the outside.

I was told by Sportsnet reluctantly and apologetically that they were the 2nd best division in the NHL and unfortunately some shitty Yankee division out east was better. I thought I saw tears in the eyes of the Sportsnet folks.

Yeah, I thought they would thrive on depth and defence.

I watched the hockey game and didn't look at a graph.

I only speak the truth sir.

Too bad shames fans won't heed my example.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Flames have no x-factor to this team. Top guys only good when they're hot. Team isn't built to excel in certain style to gain advantage, whether it's speed or defense etc. Depth is fine but nothing special.

It's a collection of decent to good players but overall just bland.

They never really felt dangerous. In the 6-4 game, Oilers gave partial breakaways and 2 on 1s but nothing like that this game. The deflections are probably recorded as in the slot shots... I mean on average one of them should have went in but I never felt the Flame had prime scoring chances like the Habs-Leafs game. Flames should have cashed in on one of the PPs... 7-3 or 7-4 might have been more reasonable

WTF LOL, and so did I

 

[Snipes45]

What do you make of this? This sounds unreal at NHL level

When you have the best player in the game and some other good ones, you can light up Vezina goalies like they have. They have torched Marky and Hellybyuck

 

[voxel]

WTF LOL, and so did I

Against the Jets I was sweating bullets with any lead. Their chances felt dangerous. Ehlers, Connor, Shef, Appleton, etc could all pot one or two in a minute. Rat Boy had the best chance IMO for second goal on that wrap around. And one of the deflections should have probably gone in statistically.

 

[MessierII]

I know we just blew them out and Calgary is struggling right now a bit but they are a better team than this. Maybe the rumours about the locker room are true. Somethings up with them now. They have a nice stretch coming up vs Ottawa that could turn their season around and a give them a confidence boost. It’s worked for other teams this year. I had them squeaking in 4th this year. Still could happen. A lot of hockey to go. 7 more battles to come this year.

 

[LMFAO]

Just like me when I play EA NHL21

 

[Breakers]

McDavid is that good.

But my gosh does Edmonton's bottom 6 get obliterated in possession.
It's like they step on the ice and are content with living in their own zone.

Proposal: - Fire Geoff Ward and Brad Treliving Now

It's 4 culprits... Neal/Chiasson/Russell/Larsson (and also Turris). The games without Russell and with Lagesson-Larsson - felt amazing because the D could actually move the puck out of the zone - instead of giving it back away.

That's my eye. Advanced stats say Neal and Larsson are better than that... but I suspect it's Lagesson who boosted Larsson's metrics.

[The Nuge]

The scary part is Calgary’s goaltending really wasn’t THAT bad. But my god was their defense bad. It felt like every shot tonight was a grade a scoring chance

 

[MessierII]

The North division is f***ing embarrassing.

The north division is the best product the nhl has going for it right now and it’s not even close.
