What moral victory? Got two points that actually have playoff importance.
And that's the most structured I've seen the oilers with McDavid in yyc, and Talbot brought his game. Flames top two centers are playing injured and Tkachuk out, with new bodies filling out the bottom six. They definitely weren't going to blow out the oilers. So they did what they needed and shut then down instead. Doesn't really matter how the points come at this point.
Connor got his standard two or three rushes but he wasn't in clean and alone and with 27 shots it wasn't a stolen game by any means. I think they were full credit given the situation. No moral anythings here.
But say, if you're tired of moral victories maybe your team can be darlings and take two points from our competition tonight.
