[PGT] FIRST IN THE DIVISION! Flames 4 Oilers 3 (ATL post #481)

[drewtastic]

[Kipper is King]

The whining from Edmonton is even louder than usual. Love it!

[tvp2003]

From the ATL:

Hoping Kassian goes full Kassian tonite!

Be careful what you wish for Oilers fans, you should never go full Kassian...

[drewtastic]

As typically (c)oiler-fan inane as this comment is, there is a part of me that wants to see this come to fruition. No loud music, no yahoos or awwoooos, just fart noises.

We’d be the envy of the league for being so avante-garde.

Not good if you’re Kassian and the Oilers...

Of course Kassian has cliche Chinese characters tattooed on him. Wouldn’t be surprised if he has barb wire on his bicep and a barcode on the back of his neck too.

[AustinL_NHL]

Tkachuk dummies Kassian three times...

Kassian "RAWR! *slaps chest repeatedly* ME ANGRY! ME FIGHT! ME LOOK CRAZY!"

Kassian goes ballistic and takes stupid penalties...

Tkachuk: "Job well done, me."

Oilers fans crying about Tkachuk's hits saying they were headshots...

Tippett and Kassian both saying they were fine with Tkachuk's hits...

NHL says both of Tkachuk's hits were legal and clean...

Kassian to have a hearing with the NHL for his braindead caveman assault mentality...

Flames take advantage on the PP...

Flames win BoA for the second time in 15 days...

Flames first in the Division...

Oilers fans: "Worth it"

Flames fans: "Agreed."


Yes, Oilers fans... you tooootally got the better of us last night! Best keyboard warriors I've ever seen.

It’s likely because you have the Kool Aid brigade, headed no doubt by Spector, but including Matheson, Tchkowski, Stauffer, Jones, Ray Ferraro, and other Oiler syncophats who think they have some media influence with the league, deluging the league with their recommendations and observations this past 12 hours that MT is somehow to blame or in the wrong,and the league is telling them to shut up.

Hopefully Ray Ferraro isn’t the mainstay on flames broadcasts if TSN picks up the flames broadcast next year.

Replay of the game on SNW right now…still failing to see how those are dirty hits or "charging". What's everyone so upset about?

Also screw Neal for holding back Lindholm, he was trying to break it up. So glad that chucky is not hurt. Definitely could have been a Steve Moore incident

[ForeverFlameFan]

Does anyone have a clip of the third hit Tkachuk did in the 3rd period post-Kassian misconduct?

[Inferno]

Where were these saves when you were an Oiler, Talbot?

Oh, how they forget about 2016-17 when he was arguably a bigger reason than McDavid that they even made the playoffs.

McDavid goal 4 times, Neal shooting and not scoring, twice!, showed every possible angle on each Tkachuk hit (presumably to try and make them look like penalties), then showed Kassian for 47 seconds, and Tkachuk for 14 seconds.

They are still really, really trying to push the old perception that the Oilers are the good guys, and good at hockey, while the Flames are the big bad bullies.

I mean, that is so far from the truth it's almost incomprehensible, and it has literally been the exact opposite of those two things, for at least 10 years.

It is astounding.

I can't wait until Sportsnet isn't doing our games anymore.

To my knowledge, your personal foibles (should there be any) haven’t been put out there on the internet. How would you like it if they had been?

Would that be alright with you? I doubt it.

Be cool to your fellow humans dude.:-)

Did Kassian have a meth problem? The link has nothing to do with Kassians substance abuse. Odd time to passively/aggressively try to virtue signal yourself and take a swipe at someone. Be cool to your fellow humans and maybe just PM him.

[Buzzard]

What exactly is going on with the [Insert Canine] howl now anyway? Is there a reference to something recently I've missed??

It does seem dumb considering the coyotes do the same and kinda have reason to.

[FurnaceFace]

My only complaint from the game is the howl after goals. Yes, we have a hound as a mascot, but we aren’t named The Wolves or Coyotes. Stick with yahoo or come up with something that isn’t tied to another team.

[AustinL_NHL]

I wonder how many Oilers fans called 911 screaming for Tkachuk to be arrested last night?

By the sounds of it, you'd think Tkachuk must not have paid his rent for living in their heads. I mean, that's exactly what he did but still.

The amount of salty tears is incredible.

Lindholm got his arms in there so Chucky wasn't taking so many hits then Neal steps in and holds Lindholm's arms so Kassian could keep punching. Total bush-league stuff!
