[GT] BOA Flames @ Oilers : Jan. 22, 2022

[GioforPM]

“What do both teams need to do in the third?”

Entire segment about the oilers except for a one liner at out Calgary sticking to its structure.

Exactly; McDavid is going straight, veers into Backlund for no reason (other than to draw a penalty), then straightens out again.
Insane that's a penalty.

[N-E-B]

It astounds me that Oiler fans think the media is biased against them. Like, it’s pure stupidity. There’s no other explanation.

"Oilers, McDavid, McDavid, Bouchard, Oilers."

Lmao. So true though.

So in the first intermission, all the panel talks about is how bad Koskinen is and how Markstrom was the difference, then Markstrom lays the biggest stinker of stinker periods. I wonder who the panel will jinx next.

Also, McDiver’s nickname truly is fitting. 3 embellishments all in one period. Touch him and he falls, nudge him and it’s a penalty. He truly is a generational diver. I know Crosby got it bad when he first arrived, but no way is he as prissy as McDavid. Like, you might have the greatest skating in the history of the game, why you gotta play like that? Just straight disrespectful to the game of hockey.

Was just being facetious about the responses people get when they say the same thing about Cassie.

You decided this a long time ago and now only see things that confirm this view

I'm glad that my anger isn't irrational.

Wow, just awful coverage.

Dude is very, very, very far up inside his own butthole. I was a big fan and it's become insufferable with his celebrity.

Which might just be Sportsnet firing everyone and forcing merek/Friedman on everyone.

We need a goal from #88.

I don’t normally get annoyed as some posters about the Oilers love on the panel , but that was pretty bad. It was like Edmonton was playing 1984 ussr

This is not a big game. It’s one of 82 as far as the Flames are concerned.

The thing about it though, is that the refs don't call much anymore because they know he is a diver.

But then they play the Flames, and it's a penalty every time there is contact on him. It's infuriating. It's also frustrating, because the only thing that keeps McDavid's head in the game is getting PPs.

Zero respect for all of these panelists. They aren’t doing their jobs.

It's like they write a script before the game even starts. They have their narrative and they will try to find a way to make it fit, no matter what happens on the ice

You are comparing my one line comment to people say about Cassie?

They’d Atleast #### talk the opposition then. It was like the Flames don’t even exist. Pretty brutal.

[Manhattanboy]

HNIC really does suck the fun out of watching.

I don’t know maybe now I’m the old guy from the Simpsons.

[dino7c]

they all picked the Oilers to win the cup so need to make excuses now

[direwolf]

The PK needs to do its job to start the 3rd here. Please don't allow Edmonton's stupid PP to be the difference in this game.
