Chicago didn't go 0-82 last season

Cup isn't the only way I find enjoyment.

Literally anything above complete and total incompetence is the goal. Flames are missing the mark.

If they can't show some emotion with the season pretty much already on the line and going against Edmonton, then they'll never do it. Kick these bums in the nuts.

The battle of the bottom feeders. Will the Oilers get their second win? Or will the Flames get their third? Who cares? Oh, err, I mean this is the heritage classic, so it is important. A heritage of losing? Don't forget to shell out for the merch.

Our Hero bravely makes the trip up Highway 2 for today's spectacle:

Spoiler!

Go Flames

Bravo

I think the terrible starts for both teams makes this game even more interesting. 2 Desperate teams that do not want to lose (even more than normal)

Obviously this isn't the big marquee game that the league was probably hoping it would be when they initially planned it, so look for the lemmings at SN to pump McLotteryball's tires every 30 seconds. It's the only thing they have in terms of marketing this disappointing spectacle between two bottom feeders.

Bury the Flames, Oilers. Do it. Do it in dramatic fashion. End the idiocy that is the 2023/2024 Calgary Flames season - and do it on a very public stage.

Every loss matters.

Username checks out

Not sure if it's been confirmed already but looks like 97 is now confirmed to dress.

Watching games last night made me sad. We are so far below the other teams in talent.

[direwolf]

Lol, was there any doubt? This is the Oilers' Stanley Cup. He was always going to be playing.

And one team will become the laughing stock of Canada in front of a national audience, and it's players scorned/shamed by its media.

Interesting stakes indeed.

Good thing it came when it did to keep me watching this team because if it was a normal schedule I'd probably have tuned out. This game provides some storylines at least.

Sure but you can cheer for them to win the freaking winter classic against Edmonton ffs

If you can't you are too far gone

[Manhattanboy]

Any chance we could sneak in a heritage line of Sam, Johnny and Chucky?

Pretty sure Skinner is in.

McDavid was probably heavily pressured to suit up for this one. Could put him at risk of re-injury.

Not true. Sportsnet Crew will have every possible excuse ready if Edmonton loses, and all the post game discussions will be about Edmonton/McDavid regardless of the outcome.

That injury report was BS from the start... already seeing the courageous Connor posts

Sorry this seems like a script

[NewFan]

Why I need to tell the coaches the best line ups, it must be:
Huber-Backlund-Coronato
Ruzicka-Lindholm-Sharangovich
Mangiapane-Kadri-Coleman
Greer-Dube-Duehr
Hanifin-Weegar
Zadorov-Gilbert
Solovyov-Tanev

[Manhattanboy]

Connor outdoor love-fest. What a hero.

[Galakanokis]

Not sure I have ever been so disinterested in a game in decades. Both teams are pretty unlikable for a variety of reason and add in the miraculous return of mcdavid it will be over the top annoying.
