I know that I'm one of the oldest, most persistent Kylington fan boys on this forum, but I thought he had an epic game tonight. I described last game as "the biggest in his career so far", but I think that standard was reached again tonight. It was a dramatic night for him tonight - suffered a huge headshot, looked like his night (maybe his season) was over, and then came back to make a huge play on an important goal. Shades of Paul Kariya in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Mangiapane has really become a special player. His motor is relentless.
Lastly, this stretch of three wins is made all the more impressive by the fact that Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Giordano, and Andersson have all been very quiet offensively. Surely, at least one or two of them are due to break out of their slumps soon?

He played 9 minutes.

Followed by communal chugging of the "tier 1/something special" kool-aid at 1130.

I cheered out loud when I saw Kylington carrying the puck over the blue line because it was so good to see him back playing after that hellacious hit ne absorbed in the first period. And then he assisted on a goal.
So much deserved. I hope he never comes out of the lineup again.

Just watching the game on PVR and figured out the ‘real floater’ James Neal was playing?? Saw him on the bench. Wow. Didn’t hear his name once. Even tippet won’t play him. Gaetan haas is more useful.

They might look at it, but if they follow the same reasoning that helped Dube avoid a suspension versus Montreal earlier in the year (that contact was unavoidable) I don't think we'll see anything. But you never know.

And people still want to trade him?

Impressive game. Tippett is a really good coach and has the Oilers transitioning very quickly as well, even without McDavid on the ice. They are a bad team with a great coach, and that's why I think the Flames didn't look as good against them tonight a they did against Montreal. I can't believe people in Edmonton wanted him fired.
With that being said, Flames won! I think they were the better team through most of the game. Starting to really like Ritchie more than I should. Guy is non-stop compete, and his hands are pretty good too. I think he is a really smart player - much like Lucic does, he gets on the right side of the puck all the time. When he gets the puck, he makes really nice passes that you (or at least, I) didn't expect from him. I also really love how he stuck up for Kylington. Most games, the Flames let that go unanswered - not this season, and I think that's important. I don't hate Khaira - I don't think he is a dirty player, and I think he plays the game the right way, and good on him for answering the bell. Hope he is not injured, but I also think the league does look at that hit.
I thought the Flames had some 'lulls' in their play tonight - weren't as hard on the forecheck as they have been, and allowed McDavid a bit too much room at times. A bit more of a sloppy game in my opinion than the last few, and I wonder how much of that was the adjustments by the Oilers, and how much of that was the Flames still adjusting themselves under Darryl.
I expect as the games go on, the Flames will just get better. This is a very different type of hockey than they have played before. They haven't skated this hard since Hartley, and they haven't ever played this structured either. So far, so perfect! 3-0 to star this era!
Lucic, Backlund, Hanifin, Tanev, Ritchie, Dube, Kylington and Monahan were all very noticeable tonight. Monahan is developing a bit more bite to his game - loved him fighting back in the scrum this game.

I didn't need to. It seemed obvious to me that everyone has seen how good Backlund has been the last few games.
