Flames v. Oilers. Just beat them

[Yobbo]

It's been the Flames problem for quite a while. They really lack finishing.

They're really not good......at all.

Still as mediocre to bad at even strength as ever.

Tanev with McDavid assignments is a +6 vs the Oil this year.

Tells you all you need to know.

I think Toronto is a good team. I think Winnipeg, Edmonton, Montreal, and Calgary are all bubble teams but the nature of the schedule dictates that some teams will have inflated records. I think Edmonton and Winnipeg were the lucky ones this season. Play this season again next year and those four teams could end up in any order.

I’m hard on Chuckie, but he expected a D there (but they were changing). It happens.

[Makarov]

The Brett Ritchie experiment needs to end.

[Yobbo]

Richie is tough as they come, but man he's cringe worthy when it comes to offense.

[Chi-Town Hustler]

So like... Where is the hitting and nastiness that this game should have?

He's puck handling skills are really weak. There have been a few opportunities where he had time and space and lost the puck.

[Red_Baron]

I don't know if we are bringing our "A" game or whether the oilers are that level of no good.

What, the 7 exclamation marks for 10 words didn't convince you otherwise?

It's rather funny seeing how they manage to "spoil" all the opportunities they generate for themselves. Sometimes I swear it's intentional.

[1qqaaz]

Ritchie is playing like someone who has no confidence. He panics every time he touches the puck.

There’s no way the Oilers can compete with Calgary in toughness so they are staying out of anything.

What is wrong with him?! He just did it again, twice on the same shift!!

No point in passing it if your teammate has no chance of handling the pass.

The Flames have played ok, but I don't think it's their 'A' game.

The Oilers look terrible.

His teammate handled it on the first goal of the game

[Chi-Town Hustler]

For one game I want to see wood sticks, 90s grabbing and hitting, none of this lame "barely touch the guy and it's a penalty" stuff. Just for fun.

Almost feels that way sometimes. We should be up 4-1at least it feels.
