This is the second consecutive year that these two teams have met on american Thanksgiving Day.
Last year the game was in Edmonton, is this a new tradition?

Happy Thanksgiving to our american Calgarypuck posters.

Oilers dominating the shot clock. Corsi'ing it up. Gonna go on a 6 game win streak here just to get the fans hopes up

[calgarygeologist]

Are the guys calling the game tonight on SN the regular Oilers crew? They sound terrible. No excitement or life in their voices.

Are the guys calling the game tonight on SN the regular Oilers crew? They sound terrible. No excitement or life in their voices.The Thursday games on Sportsnet 360 have the regional announcers call the game. The exception is when two canadian teams play each other, the announcers are a mix of both commentary teams.

[HotHotHeat]

Refs are probably confused why the oilers are upset that goal was disallowed.

[Walter Reed]

"Don't worry nobody is listening anyway"

I am.

We can only wish ...... :confused:

[Walter Reed]

Glad to see the Oil back each other after the criticism of two games ago.
Scoreless after 2 periods on the road is better than expected.

[Acey]

Those girls the Preds have dancing in the aisles look fantastic but seem extremely out of place.

[troutman]

Take a drink every time you read Pele has a urinary tract infection.

[PeteMoss]

So much corsi.

[troutman]

Taylor smart like tractor.

[PeteMoss]

Oilers have played pretty well though.. not a ton of top notch chances but haven't given up a ton either... although that Preds disallowed goal was a dive by Fasth.

[corporatejay]

Eakins has such a punchable face.

[troutman]

Why did Perron go to locker room?

[Weitz]

I'm kind of curious if there is another fan base in the NHL that talks about another team as much as calgary fans talk of Edmonton. I mean today there were a bunch of threads on the first page about the oilers.. On calgary puck. Even Edmonton fans don't talk about
Calgary much.

Honest wondering not trying to be judgemental or anything. I'm an oilers fan on a flames board for what it's worth.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

2 points against the West this season so far. Good job Oilers.

if the Oilers were doing well i doubt anyone would really talk about them beyond the OOT. Its just a source of amusement for us.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Why did Perron go to locker room?

I was wondering the same thing. All the trade rumours it makes you wonder.

You have to admit, that team is such a gong show there's plenty to talk about. Lots of entertainment off ice, lots to laugh at.

[AC]

Oilers penalty shot in OT as Weber falls on the puck in the crease. Holy!

[getbak]

WTF, Weber? Could you have made that more obvious?

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Penalty shot, good call.

Can the Oilers win a game against the West? Here's their chance. Dumb play by Weber.

[CalgaryFan1988]

What a dumb play by Weber.

[Weitz]

So why are you here?

Thanks. My post didn't say that.

Thanks Petemoss, that makes sense and I love it. They (oilers) deserve all they get.

Part of the reason I'm here is because y'all are creative and make me laugh.

[PeteMoss]

OT penalty shot... saved.

[AC]

Eberle taking it... can't score!

[Walter Reed]

Darn ....

[KootenayFlamesFan]

LOL, too easy for the Oil.

Penalty shot fail.

[MrMastodonFarm]

I love when Kevin Quinn gets his diarrhea voice all revved up only to be let down.

[Brendone]

I am.

Sorry, weak movie reference rather than a shot at the oiler faithful

I watch Oiler games for the same reason I watch NASCAR, for the hope of seeing a flaming wreck. I'm just much more likely to get my wish with the Oiler game

[CalgaryFan1988]

Hall spends so much time on his arse, it's not even funny anymore.

[Weitz]

You have to admit, that team is such a gong show there's plenty to talk about. Lots of entertainment off ice, lots to laugh at.

That's why I'm here. I enjoy the laughs.

I still am hoping to see an oilers/flames playoff series sometime soon.

Its the OOT thread, we discuss other NHL games here. There is also only one NHL game tonight, so obviously all the attention will be focused on that game.

Add in the fact the Oilers are a rival team and its not that surprising.

[troutman]

"High drama in Music City"

[KootenayFlamesFan]

lol, two posts for the Preds.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Back to back posts for Nashville. And then they score. Game over.

[PeteMoss]

oh Oil... matter of time...
and there it is... Forsberg.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Nashville should be embarrassed it even got to that point.

[Weitz]

Lol @ halls defense

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Well, you had your chance Oilers. At least you got a point. Baby steps.

[JiriHrdina]

Great D Taylor

[corporatejay]

That's some kind of defense by Hall.

[AC]

Fasth with a bit of a hissy fit on his way off the ice. Excellent.

[PeteMoss]

Could just feel them going into gong show mode.. horrible effort by Hall on that.

[getbak]

Ha ha ha. Still winless against the West.


That was a nice power play by the Preds, too bad no one told the Oilers they were at even strength.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Hall was so weak there. Wow BRUTAL! Ha

[MrMastodonFarm]

Taylor Hall with the Dion Phaneuf one handed poke check of doom.

[JiriHrdina]

What was Hall even trying to do?

[Walter Reed]

Sorry, weak movie reference rather than a shot at the oiler faithful

No worries ....

[HelloHockeyFans]

Hall just got owned by a rookie lol.

[Acey]

Not sure what happened there. Oilers were playing pretty good in OT and then just decided to stop battling. Won't last long doing that against Nashville.

[waner]

Anyone who wants Eberle watch that shift by him on that OT goal. He just stood around like the pylon he is. The other 3 skaters weren't great but at least they tried to do something.

Dude, we get you like Taylor Hall but pick your battles, especially on this play.

[dieHARDflameZ]

Nashville was garbage tonight, and the Oilers still lost. *clap*

[corporatejay]

need a gif of that d effort by hall. .

[Walter Reed]

Well, you had your chance Oilers. At least you got a point. Baby steps.

It was a competitive game, my expectations are meagre .....:confused:

[Erick Estrada]

Boy Petry and Hall looked bad on that goal. Hall especially just kind of gave up on the play.

[sketchyt]

Great play from forsberg but wtf is fasth doing sitting right above the goal line. That's ahl calibre stuff.

[dieHARDflameZ]

Boy Petry and Hall looked bad on that goal. Hall especially just kind of gave up on the play.

That shouldn't come as too much of a surprise... He is awful in his own end.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Okay, I just saw the reply of the Hall "effort" on the winning goal. I gave such a hearty chuckle the studying gf shot me an angry look. The guy is just stupid, dumb dumb dumb. No effort and no clue how to play in his own end.

[waner]

It's not just Calgary fans it's everyone. On PTS yesterday McCown asked why everyone on the Toronto station and Sportsnet were talking about the Oilers all the time. The answer because their pathetic play is a big story and pretty much unprecedented in hockey and perhaps all of the 4 major sports.

[dammage79]

Hall. What the hell was that! Seriously, Forsberg did Disney on ice around you while you napped. Wow.

[waner]

Dude, we get you like Taylor Hall but pick your battles, especially on this play.

Pick what battle? I said they were all bad but Eberle was the one standing still. Hall looked awful as well but at least it tried to do something, the wrong thing, but an effort was there. Eberle looked like he was just waiting for Nashville to score so he could get to the dressing room first.

[Walter Reed]

Good game.

[PeteMoss]

Who exactly was the guy who decided that to trade for and then sign Niktin? He should be fired.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Given your history of loving Hall it came across as a deflection.

And honestly, that might have literally been the least Taylor Hall could have done on that play. Looking back on it just standing there might have been better, at least he would have been in the way than pathetically spinning.

[scottish_flame]

It would be nice if oilers could actually take a couple of points off teams that are around us in the league. But looks like they want McDavid

[timbit]

Literally amazing how much more skilled the Flames are than the Oilers, considering the Oilers have a 6 year headstart on the rebuild.

[PeteMoss]

Hilariously the Oilers have every player on the roster under their control (either under contract or RFA) except for Petry and Fasth (excluding guys who get scratched every 3rd game).

One more year of this crew.

[dieHARDflameZ]

But next year is their year... Right??? RIGHT???

[Racki]

Boy Petry and Hall looked bad on that goal. Hall especially just kind of gave up on the play.

He was exhausted. He and Eberle were already gassed but went for one last rush. When Nikitin stepped on the stick they had no choice but to stay on. He had nothing left. Very selfish play. Selfish and dumb. That's worse than lazy.

[dammage79]

Fasth I think cannot wait for his contract to run out. The way he walked off the ice looked like he was done with that circus and the bunch of clown shoes he's surrounded by.

If I didnt know that Hall was on the ice for a whopping 1:27 of OT and let Forsberg use him like a pylon in a pick and roll I would've suggested the same thing for Hall.

Either way. Edmonton isn't getting any better any time soon without some draconian changes.

[Anduril]

We were reminded of two losers tonight. Washington and Edmonton.

[Red John]

Dude, we get you like Taylor Hall but pick your battles, especially on this play.

Yep, moon outs himself quicker than any other returning poster. Guy has his hard-ons for certain guys and can't help himself.

That he even tries to defend Hall on this play is hilarious. That's one of the worst defensive efforts ever.

[Poe969]

Damn that forsberg is so hot right now.

[Tsawwassen]

Rinne was the main reason the Predators won this game as he stopped all 37 shots for the SHUTOUT.

[JJ1532]

Holy cow, I've just seen Halls play on the OT winner. He just wasn't bothered, he simply wasn't bothered. You see Eberle motion to him to take his place whilst he traced the other man on the point, Hall just slowly moves into position and then lets himself get beaten by a simple spin-o-rama by Forsberg.

This wasn't about him being bad in his own zone, this was just about him giving up. Not sure whether he was tired(had he been out in that shift very long?) or what, but his body language in the entire play was alarming. Then when Forsberg scores, Hall doesn't even react. Scary how that whole goal came about and I'm not even an Oilers fan.

[Tsawwassen]

No surprise from the SN Oilers crew as they picked the 3 stars, there were 2 Oilers Fasth and someone else. Rinne was the 1st star. The bizarre stat is after 25% of the Oilers game vs western conf teams, they still haven't won a game. LOL.

[Resolute 14]

Fasth with a bit of a hissy fit on his way off the ice. Excellent.

Can't blame him. He shuts Nashville out for 62 minutes, then loses anyway both because he failed to stop that and because the team in front of him stinks worse than the cars in a Fabreeze commercial.

He had been out for 90 seconds but still no excuse. Usually when guys get beat by a spin-o-rama the spinner has speed. I don't know if I've ever seen a guy beaten this way when the spin comes almost from a dead stop.

Hall was being Hall - fishing for a turn over instead of playing solid fundamental defense. There are a myriad of ways he could have played that differently - all of which would have resulted in Forsberg not beating him.

Just an awful play that should be used to mock Taylor relentlessly.
