Biggest worry is going to be goaltending IMO

Have the Flames even generated a good scoring chance yet?

So, here's a thought. If they let Neal score a couple of times can they use that as an argument that he would have done so had the season continued and get a draft pick out of this?

I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS HERE

I'm getting furiously worked up about meaningless hockey. God, I've missed this.

[browna]

Non-issue with goaltending. Can leave 2 guys open on that first goal, one for the good save, the other for the rebound.
On the other one, Jankowski once again let's a pass go through the box, which is the only thing you are not supposed to do on the PK. No way Talbot should be waiting for a cross ice pass to McDavid when the other winger is collapsed in on him for a shot in the PP.

Chris Cuthbert is soooooo much better than Dave Randorf. One thing Sportsnet got right.

The Jets are going to slaughter us. How did we have four months to hire Gerard Gallant and not hire him?

It does make sense. The only flame who is has shown he actually plays better in the playoffs, let's see how we can get him LESS time on the ice. Less time to be ready for game 1.

Take a deep breath everyone

Yea and the meaningful games start on Saturday. They don't exactly have a lot of time to get things going.

I mean he has to want to work here

[DoubleK]

How's that not a penalty shot?

[ComixZone]

Edmonton is out hitting, out playing, out scoring us like crazy.

Haha

[Moneyhands23]

Dube not messing around

Gallant knows hes hired in Seattle.

Can't find that type of expansion success experience.

Ditto here. Thought it might be because I’m watching on BlueCurve.

Dube.. like a boss

Mangiapane has had a couple good chances.

5v5 has been pretty sloppy for both teams (which is to be expected).

Oilers have had 2 PPs which made the ice seem more tilted in their favour.

[MrMike]

Come on penalty shot bs

[Jetfire]

I didn't think that was a clear cut breakaway. Penalty for sure though.

It’s a penalty?

[Jacks]

Dube looks like Grizzly Adams after a few days. I used to work with a guy like that, had 5 oclock shadow at noon and serious stubble by the end of the day.
