However, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometime.

The best possible Oilers roster is probably not the one we would think.

I still can't believe that the broadcast crew from Saturday night were saying he played well. He was running a bakery out there, turnovers all over the place.

Last man back? Oh yeah, I'm just going to try and dangle through this guy's legs cuz that's sweet.

And now he's playing C

Bachman has only allowed one goal to a player on the 2014-15 LA Kings roster: Mike Richards

His brother had just passed away last week.

Doubt it. I think they Kings will have too much for them. But the only way it would happen is if the Oilers somehow went up a couple of goals early. They did have chances against us early on Saturday, and some of them were really good chances.

I don't disagree that it was good that LA didn't get 2, but had they lost in regulation, then Flames could have another 1 point cushion, which is still huge. That means Calgary could win in OT against LA and still clinch, or Flames can shat the bed and lose in OT to Arizona, but still clinch against LA if they win in regulation. Just gives them more options, which is never a bad thing.

Maybe #64 can find some old magic in his #10 uniform tonight...

Feels good to have destiny in your own hands:

So what are the odds that the Kings come into Calgary angry and tear the Flames apart after being embarrassed by Edmonton, leaving the Flames in a do-or-die last game against a Jets team that just won't lose? I think I'm starting to develop an ulcer

GO JETS GO! Now!

If Jets win on Thursday vs the Avs they clinch a playoff spot. Which means Saturday will mean nothing to them.

All the Flames need to do is get 2 pts in 1 of the last 2 games.

Guaranteed to go into Saturday in a playoff spot.

GO FLAMES GO! Put them away Thursday!
