Can the Oilers rookies get through this series without scoring a single goal? Never underestimate.

Is McLeod playing? I see him on the lineup but genuinely haven't seen him yet.

Vesey and Starrett might be the 2 worst players to ever play in a rookie game for the oilers.

Meaningless game or not, it would be nice if the Oilers didn't get owned again by Calgary's "lesser" prospects. This is the only thing the Oilers have on the Flames so it would be nice to see a goal, give me one goal. Not too much to ask.

What the H. They're suppose to be playing like their lives depend on it, because it does. The passion is lacking right now, which is very surprising. Hopefully they wake up sooner than later

Guys with a chance are saving themselves for main camp. Guys with no chance know they have no chance. They barely invited anyone so no one is out there trying to earn a look at big camp.

Missed the first 2 periods of big time action. Hope the 3rd makes up for it.

The offense can't offend either. They are just offensive. Not one goal in 5 periods. Bouchard, Samorukov, Benson, Marody, Lavoie, McLeod, Maxsimov and nothing.
Why do we even bring in such bad invitees like Starrett and Keeler? We have one pairing with De Jong and Desharnais. Desharnais is HORRIBLE. No hockey iq, no speed, no passing ability. Only thing he has going for him is size and he's right handed.

Why do there lives depend on it? For guys like Benson and Marody it’s a warmup skate for main camp, for the rest it’s the first competitive hockey in months.

I can’t believe the people freaking out about this, these games are glorified scrimmages.

All I can think is "that's child abuse!" when I see little kids forced to wear Flames stuff.
