It would be nice if they got up 4 or 5 goals in the first period.

Please be aggressive and attack. No stupid pinches especially while mcdavid is out there, but play with some speed and bring the play to them.

True, but unlikely Tippett spends all afternoon recreating lines or team strategy based on Bennett or any third other or 4th liner is announced as in or out after the morning skate.

Especially as Tippet's game plan on every game no matter the opponent:

A) Ride McDavid as long as he can go, and then 5 more minutes.
B) Ride Draisital as long as possible.
C) Hope and bargain for as many powerplays as possible.
D) Assume your own players won't score on your goalie.

Moreso if he dresses a "tougher" lineup if Sam is in or out.

I expect that Connor will go on injury reserve sometime in the first period when he breaks a nail thus setting up a new 3 part documentary on Sportsnet, that starts with "Nobody has ever broken a nail like this. Yet Connor recovered in 8 weeks, this is his miraculous story"

Don't forget about the fan outrage, spurred on by media, about how dirty the Flames are.

Simon is a healthy scratch so it looks like Bennett/Robinson/Rinaldo for the last spot.

2 of my favourite players are Oilers. Don't hate me.


I love both their goalies, but only because they suck and seemingly help the Oilers lose.

Sam, if you square up with Nurse tonight all is forgiven.

Just kidding but please show up for this game.

Better not play Bennett with how easily and often teams are given penalties when playing the Oilers. Bennett will be in the box all night.

Earlier, I saw a tweet saying that Kostinem was getting the start tonight and my first thought was that it was weird they're starting their backup for the Battle of Alberta.

Then, I remembered, he's the best they've got.

Curious how this all plays out.
How bout some accountability for any of the veterans? Backlund or Lucic could be sat. Gio is costing us points playing as much as he is. They make huge mistakes costing us points everygame and nothing happens to them.

If that typo was deliberate, it’s absolutely genius. That’s all I’m calling him from now on.
