[GT] Game Thread: Flames vs Oilers (Feb. 1st)

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Rough period. Tough to give up 2 early ones like that.

Lots of time left, though. It's definitely not over. Need the top guys to pick up the pace. Still not sure why Lucic is playing. He's big........great. But if he doesn't run around against his old team he's pretty much useless.

[MrMike]

It’s okay, Smith is good for one give away and one stinker so we’re practically tied.

[Wisers]

Lucic should be benched in the second. Worst forward out there

[AustinL_NHL]

Wtf is Ward doing having Hanifin-Hamonic out there that often against their top players?

Is he trying to make this game as difficult to win as possible?

[Luder]

Let’s do this! Go Flames Go!!!

[Matty81]

Hamonic is really brutal this year.

I dont understand why lucic looks so indifferent always

That penalty call was atrocious

But the oilers still look like they have a brutal d and goalie and flames can come back

[OldDutch]

Really going to McDavid is a brilliant move Friedman?

Ya, Lucic has been very disappointing. News flash guy, you are not an Oiler anymore.

[DropIt]

Hopefully they cone out in the 2nd with a fire

[Nsd1]

Haha of course they won’t show the actual penalty

This was the complaint I heard all the time from Oilers' fans. He doesn't play hard against former teams/teammates.

[Magnum PEI]

Should be 1-1. Refs let an obvious hold by McDavid go on the first goal. And the call on Hamonic was absurd.

[N-E-B]

Outside of the first minute I don’t think they played too bad, but they really dropped the ball with that start.

Oh, and Sportsnet is the worst.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Yes, Tippett is such a genius for putting McDavid out.

[soulchoice]

At least Elliot also realizes the errors of Hanifin on that last goal.

[TheSquatch]

Both penalties were pretty chintzy imho.

The score is not. The constant love affair and bias for Edmonton is. It is embarrassing.

Smith will get cocky and start taking more risks.

Flames have had one powerplay in the last 4 periods against these clowns. If they can get some calls Smith will leak.

[Infinit47]

Hamonic and Hannifin leading the Flames in ice time. Monahan on pace for 15.03, Guadreau for 16min.

Flames haven't had a truly great coach since D. Sutter, and don't show any signs of being willing to pony up now.

[The Big Chill]

I wonder how that Khaira cheap shot fits into The Code?
