It's hilarious how much SN and the Oilers have hyped up tonight's game. They did a full segment last night completely devoted to the Tkachuk/Kassian shenanigans, and how it's a national game and that the entire hockey world is absolutely jacked to watch this one.
No doubt the Flames will have to be ready tonight, as this is clearly Edmonton's Cup final game 7. They're gonna be so preoccupied trying to run around and hit Tkachuk, I predict the Flames will be gifted multiple odd-man rushes right out of the gate, and probably a couple of early PPs as well.

Must not have listened to 960 over the last 2 weeks.
The refs. The whole world is watching this game tonight, plus their boss will be in attendance, plus Parros as well (and I can't remember if Daly will be there or not?).
They have been given the mandate to not 'overreact'. Will be interesting how they manage this game. This might be the first time in the history of me watching hockey that I am actually interested in watching the refs work tonight.
Stephen Walkom - head of NHL Officiating will also be there.
