WCSF: BOA! Oilers vs. Flames | Oilers lead 3-1

[scliff]

I think him throwing his hands up was more like wtf, I didnt see it.

Yeah, that was barely above the helmets and then in front of a couple of super dark jerseys. He had no idea how it got there. Would be interesting to see a smith pov of that to see how difficult it would be to pick out the puck.

 

[Reddwit]

I enjoyed watching the Leafs get tossed in round 1, but the Leafs are a significantly better hockey team than both the Oilers and Flames.

 

[Tebowz]

Mcdavids worst game of the playoffs and the Oilers still win. Calgary is pretty much done.

 

[Bond]

I feel like Calgary takes the series if they managed to pull off the comeback after that gaffe. Still far from over, but that was some roller coaster of a 3rd.

Yup. Oilers gifted the Flames momentum and then Sutter decides to put the 4th line and bottom pairing with 4 to go. Mind bottling. See yah next year, no way the Flames come back from this. Giving me Colorado PTSD. Markstorm might as well been replaced by Elliot tonight

McMVP.

One player deserves the HART.. and it's not Matthews.

Shesterkin is already getting the Vezina, and goalies rarely get the Hart.
Is that what you were talking about?

Yeah, they had momentum after that weird goal but RNH just did something for once... Actually twice tonight!

Jesus, hockey gods punish me for feeling so calm after first period.

He's definitely head to head with McDavid.

most VALUABLE to their team, and both of those players top that over a stacked roster.

 

[GreeningOil]

What a shitshow. Can't see either team giving Colorado a decent series.

This is what they said when Edmonton was about to play Calgary…

Everyone needs to get off their high horse. Colorado ain’t sweeping either Cal or Oil

It'll be a joke if anyone other than McDavid gets the hart.

 

[BMOK33]

CGY I think wins game 5 for sure. Just feels like a case where they're not laying a 5th egg in a row. It'll probably be their best game of the series and then they'll lose game 6 like 2-1 or 3-1

 

[thaman8765678]

Flames might be able to win game 5. But they ain't winning 3 in a row.

 

[DraiInSeiderKuch]

As a Oilers fan I think it is better that game wasn't a blowout and the Flames tied it up just to knife them in the guy with 3.5 minutes left then watch them take a 4 minute penalty so even if they tie it up Oil still on PP for rest of game and some of OT.

I was hard as a rock.

 

[North Cole]

GG Flams. Was a good game. Markstrom seems to have single handedly sunk the team, Oilers own his soul.

Honestly that was such a bad goal by Smith, give all the momentum away, but the Flames found a way to choke it off before OT, unreal. Lmao never thought I'd see a goal from 200 feet scored and the goalie it scored on, not be the worst in the game.

All the Oilers need it seems...

 

[Stealth1616]

Not a good sign for the Flames that the Oilers played their worst game and still won

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

I didn't know significantly better meant getting eliminated in the first round, as much as I have the Flames, at least they are not as embarrassing of an organization as Toronto

 

[PeteWorrell]

Tanev is the only Flames defenceman who can actually play defence. All the others are prone to brainfarts.

 

[Zalos]

Gotta love all the haters on here talking crap about Calgary and Edmonton while their own team is out playing golf.

Good job to the Oilers. I expected them to win, but if they do it in five, it'd be crazy.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Super happy for Nuge. The biggest goals of his life!

 

[DraiInSeiderKuch]

Must be terrible as Calgary fans knowing the best roster your franchise is going to have in years is currently getting owned by the provincial rival

That team is getting dismantled this summer lol, this is the best they will ever be.

 

[BakedYams]

The Flames did a good job of bottling up "One man team" McDavid and still lost. That doesn't bode well for them.

You can be a homer about it as much as you want, but the better teams aren’t always the ones that advance. Leafs are a better team top to bottom than both the teams in this series.

 

[trilobyte]

He's definitely head to toe with McDavid.

most VALUABLE to their team, and both of those players top that over a stacked roster.

Oh yes, I do understand what it's about. This is not my first turnip roast.
I would understand it going to McDavid though. The Oilers would truly be lost without him. I think that realization plays a big part in voter sentiment.
Edit: Even though I am NYR since I was 7 years old, and Shesterkin is a cold blooded killer between the pipes.

 

[Muffin]

This Calgary team is way too slow for today’s game.
