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

[direwolf]

This one's over. Just burn the tape and move on to the Sharks on Tuesday.

I can't watch any more of this. G'nite all!

[Singularity]

20SOG in a period against, Darryl would never....

[Jimdon]

Is Monahan playing tonight?

[Manhattanboy]

Pride lacking.

[jessnuts]

I think I’ll watch something else for a while. The ‘pin pals’ are on much music.

Just a poor showing. Good thing is if they keep it close the Oilers are going to run out of gas.

It not being dramatic tonight. It's the honest to goodness truth. This is an embarrassing game. I mean, they even just got worked over by scrubs like Chiasson, Gagner & Haas. Ugly.

[OldSam]

Is Huska the D coach? We really don't seem to have a D plan at all this year?

Sure hope Gio rips his team during the intermission. Pretty embarrassing game tonight. It was bound to happen though. It will give the media a chance to pump the Oiler's tires.

I'm watching on "mute" just for that reason. But the booze is helping. Flames playing like kids.

Yeah and you live in fantasy land every GT. This team is nowhere near winning a cup which means we should be making moves to build a team capable to do so.

[GullFoss]

The flames are playing the oilers. The flames are home. The oilers are playing back to back.

The flames aren't just losing. They're getting absolutely dominated. They should rename the team the Calgary Clown Show.

The dumbest part about the "blow it uppers" is they still think the GM, who built this team worthy of being blown up, should get to do it again.

[soulchoice]

To think the oilers played last night too. Who has fresh legs again?

[N-E-B]

Bleh. Bad game. They happen. Still gonna be 3-1 against Edmonton this year.

No, I cheer for the Flames every GT. I don't wait around for the crap to hit the team and then come crowing about it. Some people just love misery though I suppose.

If I learned anything in the last BOA game, it's apparently an advantage to play B2B nights.

[Karl]

Now Lucic with a dreadful giveaway.

[GranteedEV]

Lucic, Rieder, and Dube are useless.

Flames don't have an answer when teams outskate them. They learned this in the playoffs last year, and it was clear in the first game of the season that nothing had changed.

Spotting someone two goals is one thing, but being a total wreck if the other team is skating is another thing. This is where Brodie usually has value, but the HH pair can't take it, and kylington clearly isn't comfortable with a game of this pace. I've thought Ras looked okay tonight mostly.

But there's a bunch of mediocre skaters on the team, and a few of the better guys are just totally checked out. Lucic zilch. Gaudreau zilch. Backlund zilch.

[Aarongavey]

Flames had no chance, the oilers played last night and have the advantage.
