I'm happy I wasn't too bummed after the game...I kind of expected it:
- reasonably important game to win? Check.
- playing the Oil? Check.
- Oil playing crappy? check.
- Oilers down a few players? Check.
>>> Boot up a stinker.
As I said earlier, I thought Oilers played at the top of their game...the Flames did not.
I'm a bit surprised with Sutter that he didn't have them more settled...but the MT comment in his interview with Scott Oake was telling. Oake asked him about confidence after the Florida game and MT said they were confident. Big mistake. And a surprising one.
Anyway, Flames did what the team always does, regardless of coach. As above. Big game vs the Oilers? Blow it. Sigh.
On top of that we had to listen to homeritis all night (I turned the sound off after the two PP goals by the Oilers. It was insufferable.)
