[GT] Flames @ Stars - Jan. 14, 2023

[Fan in Exile]

First time all season they've looked like last year's dominant regular season team. Would still like to see a solid third and a consistent string of games like this but I'm starting to believe it's coming

[Captain Otto]

I'll probably post this in the post game too, but after having the opportunity to watch a fair amount of hockey over the last little while, including Oilers broadcasts, Rick Ball and Greg Millen are, BY FAR, one of the best tandems in hockey. They are professional, insightful and funny.

It's also because I've been subjected to monster truck and debrusk lately.

Rick Ball is the best. As good as Cuthbert.

But hey, if they want to play like that in the 3rd and leave Wedgewood in, fine with me. I'm up for a few more goals.

Give the Flames a little credit, they are playing very well...controlling possession like they almost always do.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

So in the Tim Hortons app I picked Taffoli to score over Mangiapane; Zadorov over Andersson; and Backlund over I think Lucic but I'm not sure on that one.

Glad we're scoring but can one of my guys put the pu k in the net? I'd like to extend my streak and pick up 5 Tim's points.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Jesus Christ could they find someone with less charisma than Elliot Friedman.? That segment was painful.

Nope, back to McDavid. Apparently the Hart race is all over.

One of these days SN will clue into this and we will lose Ball as the Flames guy.

Flames are playing well and are in full control. This is where they need to lock it down, keep their foot on the gas, and get the win. If they give Dallas any life, this could still turn sour.

[Reggie Dunlop]

If the Dallas Stars are able to come back and win, I shall be very cross.

[Manhattanboy]

Need a strong, structured third. I’m ok sitting on a 4 goal lead.

And so smart to only play him 18:18 and conserve his energy.

I used to like Friedman, but he's become the biggest sellout of all.

They'll show up post game to whine about celebratory gifs.

And McDavid. Friedman and MacLean never miss an opportunity to fellate McDavid and the Oilers. If they are on the air they are going to find some reason to talk about McWhiny and his merry band of divers!!

Hard to be negative with 6 goals.
