[GT] Oilers @ Flames

[N-E-B]

I swear some of you are only able to see the negatives in a game.

Shots are pretty much even, they need to shoot more but that's about it.

I didn't think Brodie was nearly as bad as some of you did.

Mike Smith is back at least. I figured it was gonna be another game before he got back to being stable.

Good call by Francis.

Exciting to see what is basically a playoff game.
If you can't enjoy this why even watch.

[Anduril]

Shots might be near equal but Flames have directed more on net. Oilers only have 5 or 6 missed/blocked shots compared to the Flames 11.

[Torchdemall]

Exactly Francis because there can’t be anything else going on out there causing the goals to be going in the net, it has to just be bad goal tending!! *cough*bs*cough*defense* ...

[dammage79]

Roger Millions is really good at math. 1025 - 965 is almost 100 shots.

Maybe a coincidence but Shore has yet to take a faceoff (kicked out once, taken by Brouwer?). Every other center has had around 3 attempts. Wonder if the 3rd line is going to be a "on the fly" type where they're being cycled outside of matchups.

Oilers had a good goal disallowed and 97 had 2 top notch chances.

Directed at the net means 0.

That was a sick stick there by gio to keep it in.

We are very fortunate to have Gio

[Nsd1]

Russell is always in the right spot, he deserves a raise.

[Anduril]

Gaudreau doesn't play defense.

[Red]

Gio just keeps getting better and better with age,

Theres going to be a time where Bennett either gets it or doesn't. But IMO thats a couple of years away.

3rd year pro Sam Bennett.

Who is making stupid mistakes that should have been long gone from his game. Again.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

Have to say Johnny has improved his defensive effort significantly this year. The mistakes that have cost us goals have been silly plays near the offensive blue line, but I don't recall many instances of him failing to track his man this year.

[Anduril]

Ugh, what a bad pass.

[dammage79]

Lazar needs a bump up the lineup. He's feeling it right now.

Johnny

[direwolf]

Woohoo!
