McAvi and Raisatl score their usual bushel of points and Mike Smith stands tall to make life difficult for the Flames. 4-3 is the final, just not sure for who.

In spite of their lack of depth, oilers 2 elite forwards generate more than all the flames so called depth it seems this year. The team is also way better defensively under tippet, at least in the games I have seen.
It’s a road game, right after Christmas, I’m sure there’s an excuse the flames can grasp onto to justify a piss poor performance tonight.
I think the flames inability to generate offence 5 on 5 is a major problem. The oilers have the same issues, but their top line should do just fine against the flames average d core.
I really hope I am wrong, but this year’s flames are not very good.
Go flames go.
