Post-Game Talk: Pre-Post season Oilers 4, Flames 1

[94 Oil Drops]

Thats actually hilarious, just like Backlund and Tkachuk teaming up on a 19 year old playing his first game in NA

I know its said around here a lot but i really can't get over how fake tough the Flames are, it's insane.

Thanks to whoever posted Nurse pounding Andersson into the ice, never gets old.

I would say that this modern Flames team is the reincarnation of the 2011 Canucks... but then I remembered that the Canucks could actually win games in the playoffs.

That canucks actually had high end talent.

Was their PBP guy crying again?

He's probably sitting alone in a room listening to some elton john and balling his eyeballs out

isn’t that Eric Francis’s job?

I know why he brought up Lucic. It was because I criticized how Neal played

I didn’t think Neal was bad at all yesterday. He was physical and had some good puck possession moments. I’m not convinced about Tippet’s choices for that line. Hopefully it was just an experiment. To be honest I wasn’t a fan of any of the line combos.

I really don’t get why they’re using her at all. Was baffling to me to see her on that panel last night considering how many options Sportsnet has to choose from. She has no broadcasting skills that set her apart from any of her peers. She isn’t very likeable. She’s not very intelligent. She’s condescending without having anything to say. With so many on air personalities out of work due to COVID, I really don’t get how she made the cut.

Two reasons, and we all know what they are.

I know why he brought up Lucic. It was because I criticized how Neal played. The point is, who cares how Lucic is playing? Oilers fans know he’s useless. I’m concerned about how the guy that’s still playing for the Oilers is doing.

Neal looked fine last night. His line not so much.
Neal has the jump like he had at the start of the season. If anything we should be moving up to the top line with McD and Kassian or even replacing Kassian.

God I wish we play the Flames in the postseason.

 

[McJadeddog]

Every time she had to reply last night was like that. They must have had her on a three second delay in case the Oilers blew the lights out and she broke down into a Karenesque swear fest.

That delay is just the standard satellite feed delay. You see it all the time on CNN and other news casts.

Feels good after being so bad for so long

My guess is Barry Manilow.

If all four of St. Louis, Colorado, Dallas and Vegas manage to lose in the first round, we'd draw Calgary in the second round (assume both teams win the qualifiers and the first round). Otherwise it'll have to be the Western Conference finals.

Bring back Kypreos

Your math is bad. The only way edmonton gets a Calgary matchup its first round next year. The flames never play more than 5 playoff games per season so all the mights n maybe are meaningless. .

I thought he was in the way of his line mates a lot last night. To me, that suggested he was out of position or just lost out there. I’ll concede it may not have been all his fault.

 

[snipes]

How about PRussell’s goal though?

You boys remember how snake bitten he was? Then he gets a dirty one on No Save Dave. The guy does a lot of little things right, I think he might even get a few games these playoffs.

I think PRussell is better built for playoff hockey when things get more physical in the Western Conference (i.e. if we match up against the Blues, Knights, Stars, or Preds should we go on a run).

 

[VainGretzky]

Wow so many posts about Neal in a 4-1 win

 

[T-Funk]

Bring back Kypreos

Eww I'll stick to Cassie Campbell

 

[29Beast97Mode]

My guess is Barry Manilow.

Yeah, even better

 

[oilexport]

AA sucks. He's better then what we have seen in Edmonton. No wonder Stevie traded him.

I was hoping he would have fit in alongside McDavid but that didn't really work out. Hopefully he can find his mojo in the bottom 6.
