Pre-Game Talk: The not quite yet ready for being called the battle of alberta. Rattle of Alberta?

[Jumptheshark]

Let call a spade a spade--this is the battle of cellar dwellers

the gangs that can't shoot straight?

Falling faster then the price of oil?

Its more of a one-sided tussle.

 

[McPuritania]

Flames on HNIC.

I wonder what the outcome will be.

 

[BlackDogg]

They should have brought McDavid back in at least to spare us some agony. Not a better night to try and "lift" the team on national TV so as to attempt to get rid of the "laughing stock" syndrome.

Unless he gets hurt again.

 

[Jepprey]

Outplay them. Get scored on late to lose. I see the future.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I'm going to predict Kassian plays well in his first home game, gets around 13-15 minutes of ice time and gets the crowd and his team into it by dishing out a few hits early in the game while getting under the Flames' skin.

The team responds and they get a 4-2 win.

 

[McDrai]

Guaranteed loss. Don't bother watching this one folks

 

[oil Leaks]

I'll probably watch it for Kassian and Yak. Maybe Hall still has some gas left in his tank to carry RNH and Purcell.

lol really? We haven't been great but we aren't getting blown out of games either. Calgary has been very limp as well

If Kassian can run Bennett through the boards in the 1st I smell a blowout for the good ship Oil.

Calgary owns us and they just whipped Florida. Meanwhile, the Oilers haven't won in regulation since December 21. Not to mention their terrible track record on nationally televised games. Don't count on a win

I'd love to see a beautiful, clean, open ice, crushing hit on Gaudreau. But this is the Oilers, so I'm sure Draisaitl will trip on the blueline an obliterate his face on the the boards instead.

He'll also slide into Talbot while doing so and Bergeron him.

Just as McDavid falls out of the PB, and lands on McLellan, leaving a thankful Jay Woodcroft shaken, but unhurt.


I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Wishful thinking on your part. Gaudreau is unhittable. Kelly Hrudey told me so. He said he uses the power of Christmas to become invisible and that they use his sweat in high priced energy drinks.

With the Oilers luck the arena might cave in on their morning skate as Lowe and MacT take a smoke break.

Kelly Hrudey is the Johnny Gaudreau of broadcasters. What a gem.

[Soundwave]

Oilers will find a way to embarrass themselves. It's inevitable.

 

[Faelko]

Flames on HNIC.

More vcash for me...

 

[Jeff Lebowski]

Now that the season is pretty much over, the Oilers will win this one. The pressure is off. I think this will be a good one with Kassian in the mix.

 

[Mr Positive]

We're so winning this one

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I go to the same psychic school that you do. The I can't really see the future but the odds are too damn good to go against in this case.

Watching an Oilers/(f)lames game is like watching a season of American Horror Story. It starts out great then halfway through its a mess and then at the end your saying WTF.
