[GT] Flames host Oilers

[flamingred89]

Natural Stat Trick heavily in favour of the flames. To be expected. Oilers somehow with the only PP that period. Would love to have a screen shot of that too much man. Looked awfully like the flames 6 player was hopping into the bench

ah. this is probably why they're making a deal out of it

toffoli is the only guy that looks dangerous shooting

Is every 0-0 game boring to some people? I thought it was one of the more fun 1st periods in a while, with lots of chances, a great penalty kill, and great goaltending.

I thought he was well off the ice when he touched the puck, unless there was another player that hadn't got off yet.

Have the Flames ever commented on why they don’t have a pregame spot on SN? I see the Canucks have a pregame show right now on SN Pacific “Riccio & Shaw”. Is it simply a business case in terms of city sizes?

boring doesn't necessarily have a negative connotation for me

I prefer this to the wide open hockey they have engaged in recently. watching the Flames play the Oilers style against them makes me feel gross. this is way preferable

keeps that brat from padding his precious stats too

McDavid so good at face offs he went 0-6 against Backlund in the 1st.

On a fan per capita basis Vancouver is the worst city in North America. They have no fans. Just kids looking for an excuse to riot.

Holy moly.........McDavid, McDavid, McDavid..........we get it. There are other players playing in this game.

Mcdavid still sucks at faceoffs look at her face just light up with excitement talking about him.
