Anyone watched the sit down with Gaudreau and David Amber on Sportsnet Central about 20 minutes ago?
Looks to be in a Flames /Saddledome board room, and over Johnny's shoulder is a big picture that looks to be the infamous Niuewendyk no goal a against the Oilers in Game 1 1991. That picture was a smoking gun as it was in the Sun on the cover the next day, clearly showing it was in. Flames lost that game.
It starts the 2:14 mark here.
Just odd that the Flames would have such a big picture of that particular play, though that play was cited partially when the league started reply a few years later.

Five of the top ten +/- leaders are Flames: Gio, Lindholm, Brodie (top three), Backlund, Gaudreau.
(And yes, I hover the mouse so that all the categories display Flames players, regardless of whether they’re in the top spot per category.)
(Spoiler for size)
I don’t care about plus/minus as a personal stat, it’s basically useless, but the combination of multiple players from the same club demonstatrates a good hockey team because it’s just another example of having an elite goal differential as a team. We just outscore other teams by wide margins.

Dude on Ched says the Oilers are making the playoffs.
Cool story bro.
Lol, Oiler fans are beyond delusional. That's a truly bad hockey team, and they're probably not making the playoffs. My guess is the two wildcard spots will be taken by either Minny, Dallas, or the Ducks. Hell, even the Canucks have a better shot than the Oilers at this point.

It definitely looks like that photo. It would be hilarious if the Flames had a wall of photos of all the times they got screwed out of goals by bad calls in the playoffs. You could have the one in 1990 Game Six OT where the puck was clearly in the goal but was called no goal; Nieuwendyk's in 1991; Gelinas' goal in Game Six against Tampa; and Bennett's one against the Ducks in 2015.

PSA: The BoA on HNIC always brings out the trolls. If you see a user trying to start something please don't give them the satisfaction of engaging and hit the report button instead.
As well, as per the rules, please do not go to other team subs and antagonize the opposition as unnecessary drama brought elsewhere only invites the same to happen here. If you want to trash talk please keep it here or in the r/hockeyGDT where Flames fans never show up anyways.

Flames are hot but we always seem to play well against them. Keep that turtlechuk off McDavid even if that means punching a hole in that Richard Simmons lookin face.
Quote:
Gaudreau still whining and complaining? Well there's a shocker.
Quote:
I despise Manning as a player, but maybe he is better for a game like this where all he would be good for would be going way out of position to make a devastating hit on a Gaudreau or Tkachuk.
Quote:
I hope Lucic tackles Matthew so hard his brother feels the hit all the way over in Ottawa.

Hit Johnny crybaby as much as you can, then hit him some more. Ignore that pc of garbage Tchaloser and don't play into his game. Then hit johnny crybaby more. And finally WIN the f'in game!

I have a good feeling about this one! I decided to play NHL 2009 on my computer today, first time in 2 weeks, and only my 4th game with my new laptop that I've had couple months now. I created a new season, fantasy draft, and I'm the Oilers, of course. When I played today, it was the Flames! And I crushed them 14-2. The three stars were my top line: Shanahan, Crosby, and Hemsky. I think this is a good omen for the real life Oilers tonight.

It is exactly in this scenario where they lay their biggest eggs.

7-0 Oilers, they don’t have an answer for McDavid.

Yeeeah might watch this through my fingers. If the Oilers don't shore up defensively the Flames are going to score at will. And unfortunately Mike Smith played last night.
Quote:
Somewhat realistic hope: Please Kostko stand on your head and one of Looch/JJ/Jesse score!
Ideal world: McBae gets 6 points in a crushing win
Quote:
Going to be damn near perfect to win this one. We snuck away with a 1-0 win last time but they were missing their best defensive forward and their Norris level defenseman. Play smart, hit them at every opportunity, don’t let the game to devolve into trading scoring chances and we’ve got a shot. If we can take this and Dallas and Minnesota lose we’re sitting in WC1.

C'mon Oilers,
You can lose all of the games this season, but dont lose the BoA

Stars just made it 4-2 with under 2 left in the 3rd. Looks like they're gonna win and hop into WC1.
This is a huge game for us if we wanna stay in that wildcard race.

Well done. Game is likely over. Special teams the difference yet again.
Quote:
Watching Edmonton vs Calgary is like watching the difference between how a terrible gm builds his team versus what an average gm can do.
If Chiarelli was just average these past 4 years this would be a fight for first in the division. Instead Oilers played an inspired period and are being outshot 14 -5 by Calgary on home ice.

This is disgraceful. Poor fans that went to the game today. Calgary is obviously better than us but there is no excuse to be behind 3-0 in the 2nd in the BoA. You must show some fight in this game...
Backlund Dummies the Defence
Quote:
Welp. That 10 minutes of looking like a real NHL team was nice. GG, Flames
Quote:
Our entire defensive woes summed up in 1 minute. Rookie makes a mistake, it sucks, but it happens, he's young. Then ####ty 7th D-man on a terrible contract dumps a guy for no reason. That sucks, and it shouldn't happen, he's not young.

Wow I mean the Flames are good for sure, but Jesus Christ do the Oil ever look like they don’t want to be there tonight.

It's official, folks. I'm the jinx. The Oilers scored two goals when I had to duck out for a while, put the game back on and they get scored on.
They're just giving the Flames way too much space on that PP. Need more hustle

Wide open in front again. Great defense.
Quote:
Seriously cross check Monahan hard in the back there. Make him pay for that goal
Such wimps.on this team

Guy wide open in the slot getting to shoot and get his own rebound untouched. That's great PKing.

How are you gifted the best player on the planet and the flames are the 2nd best team in the league? Seriously wtf? Build a garbage roster and this is what you get for years to come.

Remember when he said the flames have it easier than the oilers?

This ####ing team just never learns. That’s what happens when you go and get all the dumbest players in the league.
Copypasta'd Lucic
Quote:
You know what boys? I'm just gonna say it.
This entire calendar year I've watched this team time and time again let Lucic carry the squad on his back while everyone else just coasts game to game like we're playin' Sunday afternoon shinny hockey. Lucic has ####ing General Zod lasers but we can't get a bona fide number one center on his line to feed him the biscuits so he can develop into the Rocket Richard candidate we all know he's capable of. Our GM was lucky enough to pick him up in the second round but it's all going to waste because we refuse to surround him with good players. I'm done. How many more 50th overall picks is it gonna take for this team to finally get off the ground? Seriously. We've been an embarrassment in this leegue long enough I think it's time we make a ####ing change. There's only so many more years of his prime left and it's all going to waste. Lucic is the bear of this team it's about time we got him some ####ing paws.

But you cut off the part where mis-hands the stick to the equipment manager then goes back to pick it up like a gent, then resumes celly.
Eh, it'd triple the length of the clip and shrink the resolution as a result, and he doesn't celebrate after picking the stick back up. So I think for a win GIF it works better just as he's dancing.
