That is true, but they all play for the Coilers, with the exception of Vladar.

I made that up, but preseason losses really do mean nothing.
They really do.

And we can be honest about how terrible the Flames have been in this game. They have played truly awful. But the fact of the matter is that the result of this game does not matter. Not at all.

I am actually most shocked by how bad Gudbranson is and he is the reason for a goal...

The team also looks like they have no idea about the system they should be playing right now. Lots of passive play and puck watching. Def not what expect from a Sutter team in the reg season . Hope this serves as an early wake up call and we see some push back .

LOL, Gudbranson.

Getting destroyed and having Gudbranson look awful could be a good thing all things considered.

Badbranson with the assist on the fourth Oilers goal. Why this piece of complete crap is on the team is a mystery to everyone.

Wow, that play by Gudbranson...woof.

If he's not careful he'll be the first player to be bought out of his contract before the season even begins.

#### my life.

This is a rare game where I feel like they could put me in on the Flames blueline and the net effect on outcome would be negligible.



And I can't skate.

The first of many giveaways by Gudbrandson leading to an opposition goal. This is going to be a long season.

Who would have thought dressing a bunch of slow old dinosaurs would result in getting blown out.
