Of course, but extremely encouraging!

Considering , very little from Mono line.

I usually hate periods...but that was a good one.

Much better period. Flames skating for a change. Still way too static in their own zone, but fortunately the Oilers weren't in the zone much that period.

[OldSam]

Great second. Keep up the great play, fellows.

His goal really fired him up. Same for Backlund.

Gotta give credit where it’s due...much improved period. Could easily be up by 2.

Now keep the pressure on boys!

Which is the post I quoted.

“A completed play” is taking the puck on a stick check. If your follow through trips a guy, it isn’t a penalty. I thought you were saying that wasn’t the case.

The early first period goal made the Flames relax and think it would be easy, and then combined with a horse #### penalty it turned ugly quick in the first.

Gonna give L8ndholm some big props tonight. He's playing a very beastly man's game today. Lots of snarl and bite. Throwing an extra bit of juice in his hits and stick lifts.

I was hoping for Debrusk tonight. Instead we get this option.

Yeah I was surprised. I thought he'd be fuming and would pull something dirty in retaliation.

Better period, still pretty disorganized on the breakouts and essentially capitalizing on broken oiler plays.

Forechecking effective.

Lucic is a beast in the corners.

Mangiapane and Dube stirring the drink.

[Manhattanboy]

I wonder if the switching ends thing has anything to do with it.

Admit it kids in our own hockey leagues we all seem to play better going one direction than the other.

I'm not kidding, really I'm not.

And why is that timbit? A duo that thrives on puck movement and passing... what's missing there?

[Jetfire]

Thank you Hrudey. First guy to actually go "glad Markstrom's okay"

Edit: Oh. McDavid McDavid McDavid McDavid McDavid

[zamler]

Let's see how much they talk about.......never mind they already started.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Good period CGY. More poise and need to be disciplined. Hold on to the puck and draw your own penalties.

DO NOT sit back. Keep playing the same way. Connected and smart short passes, get your heads up and move it quick and smart. Be aware and get zone time, move it around and get your chances.

[3rd liner]

When I look at poolparty now i can’t see anything but the frankenberry post from the gameday thread 😂😂😂

[WhiteTiger]

"The respect that everyone has for McDavid..."

Really, Hrudley, really?!?
