If Calgary plays Boston this well on Friday(?), even if we lose I would be pretty happy with the effort. They play hard and they have good structure.
I have to give credit where credit is due. And I chose this thread to do it in because it is late and not many people will see this post and its not the E=NG thread so I can post somewhat positive stuff about the oilers without getting banned or hated on.
Now, as the title says "please have mercy"!

They play a much more disciplined game than the Flames but this is the advantage of having a head coach with a proven record of success. It's something Treliving as a GM needs get drilled in his noggin when hiring the next coach. None of this going with his gut, falling for the wiz kid interviewer, or the guy that flashed a bit in a short hockey tournament. There's plenty of proven head coaches available to hire this offseason and no excuse for getting this next hire wrong.
