Caught most of the 3rd period after getting home from work. Jesus f'n christ, Hitchcock hockey is boring as hell, and it's more than a little pathetic that it's the only way they can get points. And of course McDoofus provided all of their offence tonight. Gee, what a shocker.

Sadly, Hitch's trap system might actually get the Oilers into a wildcard spot if they keep pulling wins out of their arses like this.

I didn't catch the whole game, but the Flames looked pretty gassed. 3 games in 4 nights and missing some of their best players, including our top shutdown D man, captain, and PP quarterback. Flames were bound to lose at least one of these two games, so I'm not that upset by tonight's result. I would have preferred they had lost to the Preds and beat the Oilers instead, but whatever.

Edmonton fans can say whatever they want, but this game will always have a huge asterisk beside it, as the Flames were very clearly not at their best.
