[GDT] Edmonton Oilers at Calgary Flames 8:00pm TV: CBC/SNW,O,E/SN360/TVAS2 - RADIO SN960

[Rhett44]

I predict we will be yelling at the refs by about 8:30pm tonight.

Hopefully Zary draws back in, and he learned his lesson that only our overpaid vets are allowed to take games off.

[Bingo]

In Kelowna with the kids so abbreviated game story tonight.

With the Flames out I think I'm going to shift to a more "thoughts" edition, with less structure.

Don't think the average fan cares how each period rolled out for a team that isn't going to the post season.

Come to think of it, that might be the plan next season too.

[activeStick]

Embarrass them.

[Samonadreau]

Win this one. I dont care if we win any other games the rest of the way, just win this one.

[nieuwy-89]

We got a good win in the last BOA when we still had most of our defence in tact. Our D could really struggle tonight but let’s not give the Oilers too much credit. They are still a top heavy team with major flaws and a poor culture. If the Flames play hard and we get good goaltending I could see another W tonight.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Hoping Pospisil has some huge hits in the bag for McDavid tonight.

Happens constantly. Oilers win a game and people start freaking the eff out.

Hoping flames win. Mcdavid better be tired from last nights game or he will destroy the flames Defensive core.

[Rhett44]

Markstrom is starting tonight, which I don't understand. Wolf just had a great game and we should be giving him more experience.

The Zary thing was crazy too, calling him out for poor play when he has been no worse than most of the overpaid vets the last few games.

I'm really not liking Huska lately. I thought he was the right coach for a rebuild, but I am not sure what his plan is now.

No thank you. He does nothing to benefit the game of hockey. I'm all for having big tough players that can dominate the game with big hits is hard to play against and can even help on the scoresheet. Rempe is a big tough player who tries to intimidate by hurting people. Get that stuff out of the game we don't need barbarians anymore. The time and place for them is long in the past.

[Goriders]

It’s too bad Arizona, Montreal and Ottawa are so much more experienced than the Flames at being disgustingly horrible.

Our current pseudo AHL calibre team is having trouble passing them on the race to the bottom.

Lets hope they pull up their socks.

I don’t mind him beating up Reeves

That hit wasn't even clean. It was complete blind side. But Debluey is all knowing.

[Enoch Root]

Win / win scenario tonight... beating the Oilers is always the best. And if we don't, they did us a favour!

Don’t fret. He’ll go in there once Markstrom gets pulled after the 6th one.

He brings life to the game in my opinion. Contact sport is made to be tough and mean. Just my two cents.

Is it confirmed Marky starts tonight? I mean not surprised given who the coach is.

[Dion]

Just do it!

[GioforPM]

Got $20 on the game tonight with a co-worker, who is foolish enough to spot me 2 goals. Prediction: 3-0 Flames.
