Flames look ready to battle in a few days.

Oilers are going to do well this playoff. They've got the skill, the special teams, and great coaching. They're gonna sweep the craptastic hawks

Out in 4, this is an exhibition game, they won't be able to level up. We've heard all of this stuff before and the Oilers never fail to disappoint. After 2 weeks Tippet will be hiding from skype calls.

Love that they're dissecting the heck out of a meaningless 1st period.

Panel is taking this seriously.

Awful awful period by the Flames. Draisaitl and McDavid are seriously at a level that no other Flame can reach.

1st goal: Draisaitl out races Monahan to a loose puck despite being behind a few feet, curls, somehow finds Ennis, now with all the time in the world finds Klefbom, rebound, Yamamoto scores.

2nd goal: Draisaitl, finds McDavid, easily roofs it and it’s 2-0.

Can never wrap my mind around the games against the oilers where they're ready to get mad in scrums, but not to play.

The Oiler love is all well and good Sportsnet (well, not really) but I guarantee you they lose to the Blackhawks.

I am so thankful that they aren’t putting cutouts off fans in the arena like baseball.

The biggest question is the best players.

Will they show up?

They were terribad in the first.

It looked to me that CGY wanted to focus on physical play early on. As the period went on they got a little better and better.
Let's see if they can keep improving and get back into this game. GFG!!!

Pretty rusty hockey being played out there. I'm very hesitant to read anything into it. I think I am mostly watching defensive play for the flames as they'll need to be tight against the Jets.

Going to need everyone to buy in defensively. I think Talbot settled in fine after things settled in.

This is true. It is true of almost every team in the league, but it is worse as a Flames fan.
