[Connor McSaviour]

One of Klefbom or Davidson will be back in tonight. Jack Michaels just tweeted that Khaira will draw in and there will be one change on defence.

Here comes Andrew Ference??

 

[Asher]

If Nikitin plays today then something is seriously wrong.

 

[oXo Cube]

Oh dear god Brad Hunt.

Well maybe they will use him on the PP.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Here comes Andrew Ference??

JK it's Brad Hunt.

... No, seriously. Just recalled from the Condors...

 

[RebuildTheRebuild]

When I saw that McLellan said there would be a change in the lineup for D I got excited think Klefbom was going to come back today. Then I saw they called up Brad Hunt. Rattled.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Plz win

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Brad Hunt in limited minutes and running a pp would be fine. Unlike Schultz Hunt actually has a killer shot and can run a pp. Maybe Schultz or Nikitin sitting for Hunt?

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Looks like McLellan got that PP QB everyone wouldn't shut up about.

You know when you wish for something for Christmas, like a nice yellow jacket, and you get a wasp's nest delivered to your house by the jackasses you call friends?

 

[Aceboogie]

Bascially with how tight Pacific is, we lose this and we are probaly out of running by middle Jan. So its a must win

Aka we are going to lose, and probaly bad

 

[Del Preston]

Brad Hunt

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Brad Hunt

Better then Nikitin

 

[Joey Moss]

'Huntsy'

 

[McMozesmadness]

Hunt may actually help the PP. He will be **** at 5 on 5.

Tonight could get ugly.

 

[McShogun99]

Hunt may actually help the PP. He will be **** at 5 on 5.

Tonight could get ugly.

At least he'll be better then Nikitin 5 on 5...

 

[McDrai]

5-1 Flames
Johnny Boy with the hat trick while Nuge, our first overall pick, plays like an undrafted player

 

[Jumptheshark]

I think we will spend more time speculating about scrivens being told not to dress last night then the actual game

 

[belair]

Hey look!! Calgary's playing a team on the second part of a back to back. Pretty rare, right?

 

[Arpeggio]

I'm actually looking forward to Brad Hunt, he should help out the PP quite a bit.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Hey look!! Calgary's playing a team on the second part of a back to back. Pretty rare, right?

It works out year to year in the long run. We had it a few years ago and we still lost like 75% of the time

 

[Tyrolean]

Oilers will lose and fans will still be obsessed with Calgary.

 

[oilz89*]

Ok no man be serious. Is it gonna be one of klefbom or davidson or is it that buffoon Hunt???

 

[Aerchon]

I hate Brad Hunt and would love to rip Mclellan, Cherelli, Mac T, and who ever else is responsible for this travesty.

Are they intentionally throwing the season again?

Hunt has proven at the AHL level he is inept in his own zone. At the NHL level he is joke.

Nikita and Hunt are both PP specialist plylons. Nikita was not even used on the PP and I would be shocked if they usurped king Schulz from his PP throne.

The only way this move makes sense is if Schultz gets bumped off the PP.

 

[Psychoil]

Oilers will lose and fans will still be obsessed with Calgary.

that's how it works. And they are obsessed with us. Just to go Calgarypuck.com and see which thread has the most posts by about a 1000000000. Flame fans are even more insecure than us.


I hope we smash them tonight and drai and hall have 5 each

Seriously? Hunt has been very good offensively this year in Bakersfield and that's something our back end is currently lacking. Nikitin isn't getting it done and we have injuries so they are trying someone else.

People give half the team the benefit of the doubt playing for Eakins but the players they don't like they don't.
