I bet most people aren't even rooting for Calgary, they're just rooting against us. Let's do this.
Quote:
Some guy commented on a preview vid that Smith can't handle the 60 shots a game he is about to see.
Does Sutter play the Mclellan, shoot from everywhere kinda hockey, or did Dallas just suck?
Seems like Calgary shot counts were high.
Quote:
All the stats point toward Calgary playing very well and watching any of the games pointed to why the series went to 7 games. Literally just Oettinger.
There’s a reason after round 1 all the media, pundits, betting odds and everything has Calgary as the solid favourite.
Quote:
The last time there was a playoff BoA my dad was the age I am now lmao
Quote:
Alright, lay down your guns for just a day. Let's enjoy this fleeting streak of positivity from the latest iteration of the Keith.
Quote:
First the BOA hasn't really existed in decades. Games with the Flames for years have been fairly indistinguishable from others. I've never subscribed either that there was a battle with the Flames. In our glory years we usually rolled the Flames. Doesn't battle constitute that there is one?
In these "battles" the Oilers have always had the far more talented team and the Flames have had the lunchbuckets trying to bring hockey down to a primitive level. I never looked forward to series with the Flames, thats giving them too much credit. I looked forward to series against say NYI, Chi, Bos, Philly, more talented clubs than Calgary Flames had and that would actually try to play hockey. My sum experience with Flames series is expecting the worst play and conduct from the Flames and never being disappointed.
For Calgary this is always a battle because its their mountain to climb. Conversely I've never been excited with the Oilers facing the likes of Jim Peplinski, Tim Hunter, and the rabble. Uniformly the Flames, from a hockey standpoint, were always the worst of the teams we would face to watch. I guess people look at it from a drama standpoint. But I enjoy watching clubs other than Calgary. I hate watching the Flames anytime, but this is where we're headed.
I'll put it this way. Been to a ton of games through 50yrs. I love hockey, love playoff hockey. I've never bought a pro ticket in a game involving the Flames and never would. So many other opponents make for better "hockey playing" opponents. The Flames do something else, that I've always deplored. They bring hockey to the alley, always.
Quote:
I actually think the Flames will chill on the antics because Sutter will be stressing to them that they need to play before the whistles and not after to keep the games even strength.
Quote:
Good luck with convincing the inbreds of that. Calgary not surprisingly is one of the most penalized teams in the league this post season and with the most major penalties. Which is surprising because the NHL only calls Calgary on the most egregious infractions, for anything. Apparently Zadorov yelling at an opponent bench that you're all dead, I'm coming for you, in a game in which he got a suspension review for another action, is nothingburger and completely OK. All fits the Parros TM notion of what hockey is. The only thing Lucic can do is charge and punk. He can't play hockey. Like many of the Flames its what he's there for. The Flames have half a dozen players in the lineup that have no other reason for being.
Quote:
Only two hours until we see Sportsnet panel fawning over angry Lucic face and his leather suit.
Quote:
It's funny watching a McDavid presser. You can't tell if they're playing Arizona in a preseason game or a BoA playoff series. I swear, if they ever won the Cup, he would say in his usual somber voice "Uhhmmm, it's an ok feeling, on to the next one".
Either he really hates the media or is one of the most boring/bored men alive. It's amazing how his on ice play completely contrasts with his off ice demeanor and Drai conversely who looks bored on the ice but is a colorful interview.
I stopped watching hockey 3 or 4 years ago. Caught the highlights of certain games here or there, but didn't sit down to watch a game.
The prospect of a Battle of Alberta was enough to get me to sit down and watch game 7 of the Calgary series. Really looking forward to this!

Mike Smith is a sieve, will get pulled.
Oilers will only score on the PP.
Draisaitl is too hurt to be effective.
Oilers have zero structure.
A lot of dangerous thought processes here.
Hope they don't get... UPSET.

Yeah, we’re done in 5

People act like they didnt see this coming. If you followed the oilers this was predictable

These f***ing guys still not ready. Just outworked on every battle

Quote:
Yep. What a shocker.
Again I'll repeat it. Those of you that wanted Calgary and cheered for them in the OOT during game 7 are some masochists.
Quote:
This is f***ing embarrassing. The Battle of Alberta and this is the f***ing effort they give
Quote:
We have the worst defence in the league, we would be lucky to win 1 game in this series.
Quote:
I’d be more upset if this team didn’t just show how they can beat the flames in games 6 and 7 against the Kings, but nobody wants to do that.
Yet another wide open look.
Quote:
This is beyond embarrassing. Every player should be absolutely ashamed of what is happening. Pathetic.

Imagine being a player and not having the ability to start on time for a f***ing playoff game. This team is a bunch of clowns, so inconsistent. ITS THE GOD DAMN PLAYOFFS, what other motivation do you need ffs

If this is the effort they give, they don't f***ing deserve to get past a 4 win sweep by Calgary. What an absolute joke of an effort.
Quote:
This game was pretty much over at 2-0, so within the first minute, unfortunately. You can't keep burning games like this to work your way into the game in the playoffs. I don't know who these guys think they are sometimes.
Quote:
The concerning this is that this gave us playing out in the worst case scenario. Couple lucky bounces are one thing but they’re exerting their will on the oilers and they’re not responding
Quote:
And to think I was offended by all the claims of them getting a 70 shot game this series. On their way to getting it in game 1.

This has Calgary in 4 written all it. Pathetic effort, just completely give up after 1 minute in the game.

Power Kill

Trash PP...what a waste.

Momentum buzz kill non power play

Boy do I hate me a dumb drop pass

Well.. that was an ugly momentum killing PP. The Flames outshot us in that 2 min advantage. Lol

That could be the worst PP I have ever seen
Quote:
The way the pp is going, this is in Calgary's favour
Quote:
Draisaitl bone head

Ugly ass PP tonight. Jesus

No shots on a goalie who can't stop the puck.

They’re not gonna do #### with this pp anyway lmao

Calgary has figured out our slow, passive PP.
Chucky on the PP

Well, game 1 is done. Regroup for the next one.

Am I thrilled about how this game is going? No. Am I excited at how the Oilers are doing right now? No. Do I understand that this is game one after several days of rest and that we weren't great in the first game against the kings either? yes. That said, am I going to keep watching this? #### no. Oilers in 7.
Rasmus restores the lead

Blech. Had to be Ratmus Anderslob.

I'm going to puke but for the opposite reason. Our defensive game is so f***ing awful.

f***in WIDE open man

What the actual f*** is going on

Nurse has no idea how to defend, what a ****ing idiot.
Quote:
Seriously what the hell were Nurse and Ceci doing there??
Quote:
Can not believe they tie it up and then do that.
Quote:
Why the f*** did you give it right back
Quote:
Nurse has been f***ing putrid
Quote:
I would put Smith back in lol
Quote:
Why does it seem like Darnell nurse is always on the ice when we get scored against
Quote:
Koskinen can't be letting in that goal on the short side, but also, who gives a #### apparently, because the Oilers have at least two more goals in them. What am I watching.
Tkachuk with some insurance
Quote:
Why did ratboy come out first.
Quote:
Why is Tkachuck even out of the ####ing box? Wtf?
Quote:
nobody outside of McDavid has any urgency. It's the playoffs you goofs, wake the f*** up.
Quote:
So the refs just let the Flames cheat by having Ratboy come on the ice instead of Kylington.
Quote:
Drai wtf are you doing
Quote:
Morons clearing the zone abd of course that f*** scored
Quote:
I know he scored but Drai shouldn't be playing in this game. Just dreadful at 50% or whatever he is.
Quote:
Poor Draisaitl. He's had a couple of awful own zone turnovers on easy clears. That's a backbreaker.
Quote:
drai is a f***ing piece of ####
Quote:
Draisaitl and McDavid get the glory... well they better own their mistakes tonight. Multiple giveaways, including that f***ing pizza up the middle by Draisaitl to give the 2 goal lead back again. FFS.
Quote:
Since we can’t be outraged about Tkachuk coming out of the box anymore, what about that brain dead f***ing play from Barrie trying to go clap bomb top cheese and missing for the puck to rim around for a free zone exit and zone entry for Tkachuk to score?
Quote:
It's not offside because it went off an oiler to go back in the zone
Quote:
Woodcroft getting f***ing owned here. Koskinen should have been out.
Chucky completes the hatty
Quote:
Two games in a row against these guys they've let them fill the net with 9.
Quote:
what a complete classic choke job after tying the game up. Just classic Oilers
Quote:
Thank God we pulled Smith! Kosk comes in to save the Oilers by letting only 5 goals in in the next two periods.
Quote:
Whole Tkachuk family can f*** off
Quote:
I was told the Flames were an easier matchup than Dallas.
Quote:
Disgusting performance from puck drop onwards
Quote:
ouch that one hurts
Quote:
Thank goodness for Jacob Smithstrom in net. Enabled the Oilers to make the scoreboard somewhat respectable despite being dominated in all areas of the ice. Absolutely atrocious start in the biggest game of their year and this team came out flaccid. A minor moral victory to get back in a sloppy game. But this was a pretty dominating loss dressed up by an inept goaltender (well all goaltenders were inept).
"...First Time?”
Quote:
"Oilers are not gonna play like this on Friday, right?"
Oh, Hrudey...
Quote:
Existence is pain.
Quote:
How the Oilers let the flames get back into this game after being absolutely on the ropes is beyond me. Just gift wrap them the lead again.
If that is Edmonton choking that lead, we are done. Toast. Finished.
What the f*** is wrong with this team man. Beyond me.
Quote:
The Calgary fans should get a 5 min major for embellishment
Quote:
Sutter sends all 4 of his goons out at the end of the game . Classless coach. Old bastard thinks it’s still the 80’s
Quote:
Coaches should get suspensions for this type of ####, and so should Lucic for whacking when it's the end of the game and he thinks there's not going to be any repercussions
Quote:
Koskinen sucks balls by the way.
Quote:
I’m at the point now where you trade him to Seattle to sulk with his boy Eberle. Go get Soucy or anything. At this point a re-usable Starbucks coffee cup seems like a rip off
Quote:
Koskinen can get off this roster anytime.
Quote:
Oilers absent from the first period for 7/8 playoff games.
You cannot start like that in the playoffs against good teams.
Quote:
The most pathetic start to a game I’ve ever seen, let alone a 2nd round playoff game. Those first 30 minutes were straight up embarrassing and completely inexcusable. If Markstrom hadn’t gone absolute sieve mode, this game is a blowout of historic proportions. Did we even throw one single hit all ####ing game? I don’t even know what else to say. Just a pathetic effort. Absolutely pathetic

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but what was the deal with Chucky getting out of the box instead of Kylington?
"From Rule 19.1:
When multiple penalties are assessed to both teams, equal numbers of minor and major penalties shall be eliminated using the coincidental penalty rule and any differential in time penalties shall be served in the normal manner and displayed on the penalty time clock accordingly
That differential was one of the minor penalties, which the Flames decided would apply to Tkachuk. From 16.2:
When the minor penalties of two players of the same team terminate at the same time, the Captain of that team shall designate to the Referee which of such players will return to the ice first and the Referee will instruct the Penalty Timekeeper accordingly.'

Yep, game went pretty much exactly as I stated in my pre-series post.
- Top line was dominant
- Backlund line looked equally dominant which greatly improves the Flames chances to take this series
- Andersson-Hanifin pairing was much better tonight than at any point in the Stars series, especially Andersson
- Oilers’ could not withstand Flames’ heaviness and physicality and their inability to break out of the zone caused all kinds of turnovers for the Flames
- Key to defending McDavid is to make him defend instead and if I’m not mistaken, he ended up on the ice for 5 goals against. Like the odds of winning a game when that occurs
- Hope the team can continue to stay disciplined though and hopefully Markstrom finally finds his game against the Oilers, just seems like he’s always getting lit up by these guys
The Following User Says Thank You to Classic_Sniper For This Useful Post:
Also, really glad Tkachuk had a good start to the series tonight. He probably had the most to prove out of anyone in the line up going into game 1. Had a feeling Tkachuk would make a much bigger impact because the Oilers’ team is built nothing the Stars.
Think Tkachuk is at his best when he can play big. But it’s hard to do that against such a large and heavy Stars lineup. It’s basically all one and dones; so you just end up skating back and forth, back and forth which is 100% not his game.
Against a smaller line up like Oilers however, Tkachuk can check better, cycle more, get to the net more often and gain a lot of offensive zone time which is 100% his game.
I feel like I'm watching Bubbles off Trailer Park Boys and this is mockumentary
That being said they actually criticized McD or at least pointed out the hilarity of being a minus player when you were on the ice for 4 ES goals.
So it's like Bubbles trying to explain to Ricky how you can have the most talented player in the league of give up 18 goals in 2 games and why Edmonton = NG
"Ricky, Were just No Good, It doesn't matter who we have"
But - Nothing will beat "Put Nurse of the 3rd pairing, make him your 7th D man" - Glorious
PSA for fans attending the game: please do not Loooooo when Looch is going in for a hit if the the player he's about to rock hasn't seen him. However, please do Loooooo when the opponent isn't looking, nobody is coming, and we have a forechecker in the slot!

He's not worthy of that much attention. Save it for when he gets a penalty.
For the first time in months, the Oilers are seeing what it looks like to play a real playoff team. Not LA nor the visiting teams in regular season who were playing their backup goalie on the second night of a back to back in many cases.
Oilers have been riding a new coach bump, a hot Mike Smith and outscoring their problems. Tonight, Flames have shown they can beat the Oilers at their own high scoring style of game too.
