Only Colborne could have a hat trick and still be -1.

I agree with all of this, but would like someone to get an actual goal

I think some of you are forgetting how crappy Hamilton started last year. Give it 10 games or so.

This is basically two awful teams trying not to make a mistake. I think the Flames have been the better team overall, but barely. You can tell they have zero confidence right now, especially the first line. After the last couple of years I honestly never thought this team would be this inept offensively. It's concerning. Hopefully they can pot 1 or 2 in the 3rd here and get some of that mojo back.

A couple of positives though: Johnson and Backlund's line have been great.

Well they seem to be all over the place and not playing like they have purpose.

Oh great, Kelly is an Oilers believer.

They won 2 games where the Flames played like garbage. Good grief.

Haha I would actually prefer that goal to be the only goal we score and it be the winner.

Even if we have an empty net and a breakaway I want them to skate around it.

It's because our best players are playing like rookies. It's concerning and makes for awkward hockey. Brodie giving the puck away over and over makes it less fun.

Why would you mention that name? I actually forgot about him.

Oilers are elite. If they don't win the cup, let alone make the playoffs questions must be asked!

Not really, 2 were PP goals. So he has a +1 going for him.
