Game Thread - Flames at Oilers

[ToraToraTora]

My Sportsnet steaming isn't working...bit based on the comments it doesn't seem like that's a bad thing.

Hemmed in every shift.

Well, got the penalty

Bad zone defence there. The D and Monahan worked pretty hard, got the puck to his winger who turns it over.

[Burning Beard]

Monahan line completely overwhelmed by the McDavid line. Same old song and dance

[timbit]

That whole shift in the Flames zone starts with a timid giveaway at Oilers blue line by Johnny.

Lol. This is a team that should be playing for their playoff lives and in danger of getting completely broken up as a group. No energy once again.

[agulati]

Rough job by Ritchie there in getting the puck out of the zone. Leads to a penalty.

[bigrangy]

Gaudreau goes up the ice one on four, turns it over because his teammates are picking their noses while he’s all alone, then it comes back and it’s a minute in the zone because the 5 players on the ice are all ####ing useless defensively

There’s no plan

[skcli]

Deserve to win this game regardless

[ComixZone]

...so shots are...9-1?

Cool cool cool

[flamingred89]

Omg. That is pathetic. Did they not see the elbow Mcavi threw last game?

[Rejean31]

That’s a joke of a call!!

[Tron_fdc]

Quite possibly the most underachieving flames team of all time. I hope they gut this team.

Edit: on second thought definitely top 5. It’s comical there’s been worse.

[Nsd1]

That’s on Ritchie failed clearing attempt.

[Aarongavey]

Two teams of very different abilities playing the game so far.

[agulati]

LOl that call.

lol yeah all his fault for a 1 on 4 turnover 3 mins earlier...not Ritchie who didn't get it out right before the call

He replaced Kevin Quinn this year. From my understanding, he was their radio play by play announcer in last years. It’s actually a decent tandem tonight, as we get Debrusk for the colour, whom is excellent.

If we can’t have both Ball and Hrudey together, this is the next best option.
