Randorf sounds like he's been on a 10 year coke bender. Nasal power.

There was a time when he was a league leader in takeaways.

Not tonight.

Yeah I know, Fleury was awesome.

I just mean it has nothing to do with Gaudreau's height. Look at Byron, then look at Jankowski as prime examples.

It's entirely possible that the Flames still come out of tonight's game with a team save percentage of over .900.

Just beat the ever living #### out of Russell. He has been in the middle of it all

2 minutes for... what exactly? Being Sam Bennett?

I'd take the Flames from the first 3 contests, and the Oilers from this one. Flames in 5.

Lucic only has a couple of more minutes before fighting carries a suspension.

[Abatedmean]

I love how Bennett gets a penalty for being Bennett.

[TheScorpion]

They're calling that an intentional offside? Seriously? That's so weak.

FYP. Johnny is my favourite Flame but something is seriously off this year. Maybe it is better at this point if him and the Flames part ways

God I want to see Tkachuk level Kassian one more time. Followed by Gio clobbering McDavid.

Post game interview: “He seemed pretty upset about almost getting hit last game. I just wanted to see what he'd do if I actually hit him.”

Swear a bit. Maybe throw some things.

I agree, Johnny is a soft skilled player, that will never change.

Yeah, idk where you have been the last few years. However, you arent allowed to hit McDavid. He has a special pass where you have to play non-contact hockey with him.

You must be new to this team. I've seen much worse games than this over the years. This one just hurts more because it's against our most hated rival.

[Scary Eloranta]

Looks like flames are gonna go out with a whimper. It was hardly a “battle” tonight.

3 goals heading into this period was not insurmountable.

If they kicked it in to high gear and started playing like they can they could have made a game of out this. Lack of effort, lack of shots, lack of intensity.

Just embarassing
