#### this league.

Yeah, once again, a completely dirty play by a scum bag team.


Gagner started the whole thing, now its time to go out and break some jaws.


Flames playing awful hockey wise and should be embarrassed.


Listening to the panel, its amazing how over the top they are in the love for the Oilers, They're so excited that the Oilers are going to leap frog the Flames they're wetting themselves.

Can add Kylington to that.

Can we order a new defence?

Unbelievably dumb.

It makes lots of sense. He is ready to go. He has something to prove now and as Friedman just showed, the Oilers bench laughed him off and he gave it right back. He wants to show them up now. Koskinen is cold and doesn't ways do well.

[PostandIn]

Elliot Friedman is starting to make sick with nearly everything he says.

Agreed. Shorten the bench, and leave it all out there the rest of the way. Who knows!

In the last 11 games the Oilers are 7-2-2. 3 of those losses being to the Flames. It’s great that the Flames have had their number until the game. But hella annoying the mc2manteam are somehow getting wins. Here’s to hoping their last 30 is a collapse of hilarious proportions.

This is why Ward is not head coach material, regardless of his record of 1 goal wins so far.

Besides, the hate is back. The competition is back. The BOA is back.

This is awesome.

It was like watching the Battle of Alberta from the 80's all over again. Good old time hockey.

The only thing this game is missing is a Gaudreau Yamamoto scrap and 3 goal comeback.

No idea why people still chant “Luuuuu” when he has the puck. Flames fans like to acknowledge mediocrity it seems...

Giordano did fine, Tkachuk won for sure, Talbot fell....

[Redrum]

Would be nice if our 2 best fighters (Lucic/Bennett) would light somebody up.

Ah follows it up with bet you aren't even a flames fan... typical.

You must be such a better fan than the rest of us

[OldDutch]

Yo Looch you just watched your former Oiler teammate go ballistic. No excuses to hide in the back.

I mean sure we can suck ass for a decade like the Oilers, collect a bunch if 1st overall picks and... still do F all.

Yes the Oilers have been worse than the flames the last 20 years. However neither team has done squat relatively speaking. Doesn’t change the fact I will always cheer for the flames. However as stated as of now all of the teams(Nucks, oilers and flames) are essentially level now.

I still wouldn’t mortgage any high draft picks for a stop gap measure. One average top six player isn’t then one to jump the hurdle to contender status.

Rittich should've been pulled after 2 goals, his head isn't in it, as happens with him semi regularly. He let in 4 goals on 11 shots. Talbot came in cold too and played much better , so coming in cold with a proper attitude is better then warm where you've given up.for the game.
