[GT] Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers BOA 8:00pm TV: SN, CBC, CityTV - RADIO SN960

[Royle9]

Almost the same outcome as the Oilers/Nucks game.

Vancouver dominated, out to a 3 goal lead.
Edmonton gifted 4 PP's in a row and get 3 goals on 4.

There's no way you can tell me its a coincidence, just a load of ####.
That call on Coleman for the "hook" on Crysaitl was embarrassing, just an absolute joke of a makeup call.

Flames have to come out hard in the 3rd here.

In other words, you're saying the Oilers have already won. Because there is no such thing as staying out of the box when the officials are this determined to gift-wrap a W.

blame the media for pandering to and validating their childish behaviour the last few years . this is what happens when you let a fanbase feel entitled to special treatment for way too long

Preaching to the choir. Unreal how many breaks that bull#### team gets. I don't think i've ever seen a team get as many breaks as that team gets on a nightly basis. Well, outside of a Lebron led team...

Draisaitl is the fakest tough guy in the league. Cup checks, slew-foots, dirty gloved punches, but those gloves are cemented on.

He’s definitely only there because of his reliable defensive ability

I'm worried they bring someone in and screw up the 2nd line which looks great. Just bump Lewis down, put someone else on the 3rd.

Nurse is the softest fake tough guy in the league.

Starring on Fakes on CBC Gem.

Another gem on Gem.

A guy with a great shot and an elite playmaker isn't a good combo? imo this is exactly what tyler foli has been missing imo

Though, as stated, I haven't seen much this year yet.

I just haven't been impressed with anything he brings to the Flames, other than the first 20 games he was here.

He looks motivated and tenacious. Good controllable qualities to make up for any deficiencies.

I’d love to see Zary or Pelletier force the teams hand and take that job.

[dammage79]

I'd gleefully replace Lewis with Zary. I think it's a matter of when and not If.

May be put Rose in for a game, sit Lewis and reunite the Royal Bank line.

I dare Maclean not to open a segment with Connor McDavid

[flamingred89]

This panel is hilarious.

How many cups have the Oilers won in the last few years? According to them this is the best team that the world has ever seen.

[Flame On]

I wish just once they'd not talk about how good the oil are on the powerplay, but how terrible if they are if they don't get those gifted.

It amazes me how on one hand the NHL so grossly promotes gambling yet the referees have such a strong influence on the game via their "management" . The two don't jive.


how can I place a bet knowing how these games are "managed" rather than reffed?

[Elkyiv]

I fail to understand why coaches cannot challenge penalty calls. Maybe if the refs see that "hook" on a replay, they'll call it back on account of it not being one.

[direwolf]

It bugs me seeing MacLean so happy in this intermission. He wish for more Oiler PPs came true. If they end up tying the game, he'll probably jizz himself.
