[News] McDavid to miss Heritage Classic.

At least Markstrom's mask will be awesome:

...still buys the McDavid HC jersey.....

[Robbob]

My prediction is McDavid plays and gets hurt because he came back to early. Oilers blame the NHL because they wanted their marquee player back to play a game that no one will be watching because it is canada and Sunday night where even the Bears and Chargers has more appeal.

I hope it goes on sale after the game. I want to get the jersey but I don't want to pay full price.

Well...unless the Flames get exponentially worse, the Sharks have that thing sewn up.



The San Jose Sharks through 7 games:

> 0-6-1 record (32nd)
> 8 Goals Scored (32nd)
> 29 Goals Allowed (29th)
> 1.96 5v5 xGF/60 (32nd)
> 3.45 5v5 xGA/60 (32nd)
> 16% 5v5 High Danger GF% (32nd)
> 24.3 Shots per Game (32nd)

Yes we are not catching them but even anywhere in the bottom 5 would require a consistent level of suck all season. Look at last year…we sucked and still drafted out of the top ten.

After a hard practice that ended with a bag skate, Ryan Huska has a long chat with his players. Excited to see how #Flames respond to some early season adversity at #HeritageClassic on Sunday.

Just beat the Oilers at least 3 times out of the 4 games this year is all I ask. Can lose the rest of the games for all I care.

Hard to tell which is more likely.

Well if there's one thing that can fix this team, it's a long chat from a rookie coach.

I mean they had more points than the cup finalist...they weren't in the bottom 15 of the standings...some don't grasp how bad a season has to be to be that far down

Remember train beers with Gulutzan?

I cant imagine anything more tedious and boring that being stuck on a train drinking beers with Glen Gulutzan.

So, apparently McDavid isn't ruled out of the Heritage classic after all. They will probably force him back early, as usual.

[OldSam]

Oh, he won't miss that game. It will be another Miracle on the Whitemud tomorrow. I want to watch it, but there game will have to be on mute.

If I were betting on it we’ll be playing.

4 points on the powerplay and a -3 guaranteed

if he plays and the oil lose that city is going to collapse.
