Pre-Game Talk: Oilers VS Flames

[Juxta Position]

So are the 2 clowns Johnson and Romanuk going to bash the Oilers all game again while praising the Flames like 2 Saturdays ago?

it looks like its randorf and simpson tonight.

 

[Narnia]

He was hurt at the beginning of October the 6th I think it hasn't even been 4 weeks

He was hurt in pre-season against Arizona. I think it was September 29 or something like that.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I'll predict 4-1 oilers



*ref banks the puck in with a fluid kicking motion and points at the back of the net*

To give you an idea of how poor this Flames team is, compare them to our tire fire 2014-2015 Oilers.

The Flames are currently 2-8-1 in their first 11 games. 22 GF and 46 GA.

Tire fire Oilers were 4-6-1 in their first 11 games. 29 GF and 43 GA.

That team ended up having a horrific 62 point season.

No excuses tonight.

Oh sweet merciful god... I can stomach Johnson, but I never want to hear Romanuk call an Oilers game again. And for anyone claiming that the last game he called WAS fair and unbiased, and I'm biased towards the Oilers home broadcast team, I say screw that. Last game, I thought the Canadiens broadcast (John Bartlett did play-by-play I think) was excellent.

At least we had Eakins as an excuse. What's theirs?

ToeDrag83 signed up to do today's GDT but it's after noon and it isn't up yet. So if someone else wants to make one, feel free.

I could probably whip up something in the next hour. Or if someone wants to start one they can just add what I make when it's done.

Are you saying the NHL needs to intervene on a bunch of knucklehead fans on a message board who want to see some fights?

Calgary has a history of this behaviour though... Literally attacking unprovoked and unannounced off the draw.

Most recently

And of course
Damn.... Can't find it but a number of years ago they totally accosted the ducks off the draw without warning.

Though I doubt the flames would do it or the NHL would get involved because the fans are calling for it.

Just saying the Flames as a team can lack class or manliness in a big way

 

[redgrant]

Flames lose this and they're almost out of the playoffs.

I guess, but how does fan pining have anything to do with the team and league intervention? Should they send a rep to the Flames head office to make sure no shenanigans happen tonight because johnnygoodtimes6 said to pound the Oilers?

 

[Expatriate]

Hopefully we can drive a spike into the (F)lames season tonight. 5 - 1 Oilers

 

[Arctic Fox]

Flames lose this and they're almost out of the playoffs.

Their probability to make playoffs would drop from 5.1% to 3.9%. This isn't a big difference. Reference is here, scroll down to the game and hover the mouse pointer over "Home" or "Home OT":

Sounds great. Thx Fitter.

If you want to, you could start up the thread as a placeholder and edit the 1st post when you are done. That way no one else will try to start one up.

 

[McTrashBoat]

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*

As I added to my post (forums via browser on a phone sux) I don't think it does.

But Calgary does have a history of this sort of buffoonery and wouldn't put it past them.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

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.

Oh for sure. They're a bunch of dbags no doubt, but I took issue with Narnia saying the league should take action because some fans wanted blood. Maybe she worded it incorrectly though.

Don't forget who the Flames coach is. Remember when Hartley was coach in Colorado and he put all his goons on the ice the last minute of the game. Hartley's teams have a history of gooning it up.

They do indeed. He's a turd of a coach, and if the Flames want to dance, we'll ****in' dance with 'em.

 

[Mr Sakich]

for the gamblers on this site, I have a question

Is this the first game this year that the oilers would be the favourite to win?

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid will put up the best game of his career so far 2g 3a

Yup I believe so. I picked them to win tonight with my sport select ticket and I usually don't bet on the Oilers

 

[Cloned]

He will break the record for most points in a game, and also get a shutout while playing in net.

 

[McDynasty]

I think the Oilers will thrash the lames, Hall goes beast mode and gets 4 points.
