I think that this EDM journo might be getting fired...

A richly deserved ass kicking from their biggest rivals on national television.

After three-weeks of taking periods off, showing up 20 minutes late, falling asleep defensively and then trying to convince themselves they deserve credit for occasionally fighting back in the third period, there was no masking the truth Saturday night at Rogers Place.

It wasn’t another slow start, it was hot garbage.

Just 2:02 into the first period Evan Bouchard turns the puck over at the blue line, Connor McDavid gives up on the back check, Skinner is too deep in his net and it’s 1-0 Flames on the first shot of the game.

It got worse. Martin Pospisil got between FOUR Oilers and walked down main street to make it 2-0 on Calgary’s fifth shot of the game.

Then, the hat trick of humiliation: McDavid falls asleep on defensive zone coverage, allowing Noah Hanifin to skate in uncontested and make it 3-0 Calgary at 15:53, with the shots 13-5 Calgary.
