Pre-Game Talk: Oilers VS Flames

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

lol that fans of a club with the pint sized Johnny Gaudreau would be advocating anything like that.

Wouldn't surprise me with a Flames club though. I half expected they would try to fight the Habs in 3rd period yesterday.

A shame Hendricks and Klink are out. If they want to try and fight us to start the game we just counter with a starting lineup of

Gazdic - Hendricks - Klink
Nurse - Gryba

I don't think they could physically handle that in a line brawl lol

That heart that it takes to do something like that and feed off it, that the flames used to have, they don't have anymore. They'd be hard pressed to find 5 guys willing to brawl this season, let alone come away from it feeling invigorated.

Reality has set in for their players, their fans will slowly follow.

I think you nailed it. I'm not seeing the buy in this year like last season where a dozen flames had career best seasons. (Which flames fans would argue incessantly about) It should be so obvious in retrospect that most of these guys are never going to match what they did last season. This year without outworking opposition the Flames look devoid of talent. They can barely string passes together. Really this Flames club reminds me a lot of the Oilers in say 1994. Not in a good way. A team half baked in need of a lot of help.

Nevermind, Talbot starts again tonight.

Glad to see that for this game. Its a BOA, still, play your best and put your best goalie in net.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Calgary is offensively starved and looking bad defensively and playing their 5th in 7 and on the second half of a back to back, after getting stomped by a team that we didn't allow a goal from in the later 2 periods.

Our guys are motivated and are high spirited. Huge win here.

What are you talking about man. Haven't you heard? They are on an accelerated rebuild and have almost finished it..

 

[McPuritania]

Pretty pumped that if the flames want to fight they will have to answer to either Nurse or Gazdic and then be left to a 4 on 4 with McD.

Yep, if they want to brawl, we got some guys who are more than willing to oblige them. Hell, McDavid should drop the gloves with little Johnny. Would be fun to watch McDavid pound his face in.

 

[Haken]

Great commercial with TMac

 

[Oilception]

6-3 Oilers!

Hallx3,McDavidx3

We all go to sleep super happy on this haloween evening

And then steal his skittles stash he probably keeps in his pants

 

[Jet Walters]

Please Hockey Gods let us step on their necks!! Allow McDavid to dance on them in a ****ed up way!!

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Korpikoski, Pakarinen, and Purcell is an...odd line to say the least.

 

[Aceboogie]

Flames got whipped last night so they'll be hungry tonight. I forecast a loss unfortunately. 5-2

Pakman at center? I guess Lander is in the dog house. I would have preferred Purcell bumped down to the 4th line.

Fixed.

Sounds like Korpikoski might be out and Slepyshev is in, so that would mean Slepyshev, Pakarainen, Purcell.

They have been getting wrecked all season, I don't think hunger will help them.

 

[Da McBomb]

Flames sputtering?
McDavid surging?
HNIC?
On home ice?

...
Definitely losing this one.

That was before the McDavid Era

I suspect the Oil to come out hard tonight. I don't see a blow out but I do see the Oilers pulling through.

 

[La Bamba]

A clean regulation win = doubling the Flames in the standings.. Lets get it done!

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

I haven't been this excited for a round of BoA in quite some time.

Me too. These are the games that they know they should win; and these are the games that they know will give them a bit of a cushion for when they play the big teams like St. Louis, Nashville, and LA. In the distance they see Philadelphia and Pittsburgh--both winnable games, and if they win those they are 500, which is not great but certainly puts them into the position of making leaps toward playoff contention. What's more, right around that time Eberle and Hendricks will be back, which will be a huge shot in the arm.

But it all start with this game, which means that tonight is hugely important for the Oilers. No more steps back.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

I would absolutely love for the following to happen.

McDavid hattrick.
Nurse sends Hamilton flying
Draisaitl outworks Bennet and scores

 

[McPuritania]

A clean regulation win = doubling the Flames in the standings.. Lets get it done!

Lawdy, lawdy, Jesus, make it happen!

 

[Red Deer Rebel]

Flames fans are talking tough?

I hope Sam Bennett takes a run at Nurse tonight, and then Nurse tunes him in.

Speaking of Nurse, I fully expect him to look like the best D on the ice tonight - on either team.

He might make the odd mistake due to inexperience, but he is a superior athlete to everybody on the Flames backend. He's simply bigger, stronger, faster, tougher than anybody they have ...

... and he doesn't turn 21 until February.

We all know what happened last time the Flames were making threats against the Oilers on behalf of the Flames players. *Insert picture of Nurse lighting up Smith here*
