That was pretty much to script.

The Oilers had every advantage.

- No Gio
- No Backlund
- Just played 23 hours ago against the (previously) best team in the West
- On the road
- Lots of rookies playing

So Hitch clogged the place like a bad toilet and banked on McDavid and the best the Oilers could muster was a 'skin-of-their-teeth' 1-0.

The Flames just didnt have enough in the tank. C'est la vie.

When you're playing 3 games in 4 days you generally want to come away with 3 points overall to call it a success. We got 4. Sucks that we dropped one to the grease.

The Oilers can puff and pound their chests and slurp their gruel but the season plods along.
