Frankly, reading through some Oilers posts on that other site between advocating for a goon show, which is disgusting, and having some misguided belief that if they beat the Flames that they'll crush their spirit, I realized that a lot of their fan base have effectively been brain damaged by the constant losing broken up by one fluke season.
Lets be clear here, there's nothing about this game that's an indicator about the Flames performance or preparation for the playoffs. By Sunday morning none of the Flames are going to be thinking or worried about this game tonight with the Oilers. This is merely a place holder in the schedule, nothing more and nothing less. We're playing a team that's 30 points behind us, they're irrelevant except as a piece of humor that fans of hockey laugh at. And if the Oilers win, its not a indicator of next year. They'll be worse next year, that's just the way of things.
So Edmonton
