Dwayne Rolloson. Unreal.

Go Flames.

Are there former Oilers who live in Edmonton who are not employed by the team? Imagine they would have to fly in anyone.

If they are not employed by the Oilers, I don't think they'd choose to live in Edmonton?

That will start with his own team. I think chance quality is the difference

Keep the puck away from the other team as much as possible.

Avoid the mistakes that led to breakaways in game 2, and the odd man rushes in game 3.

Then he has a good chance at results in line with his regular season numbers

Oh, also hope the refs keep it 5 on 5 a normal amount of the time

They aren't reacting anymore, they are over thinking everything which is what leads to the breakdowns we see

This series is done in 5

Geez get off the ledge bro. This year we shown we aint the 2019 Flames. We got this, just needed a kick in the ass which I'm sure Sutter can push on the boys.

[Angelino]

Calgary wins 4-3 tonight. Series even. All of the Oilers momentum gone and doubt back in their head going back to Calgary.

One good effort and the entire narrative shifts on its head.

Let’s go!

That's the way he post. His post reminds me why I put him on ignore. He has always be negative about the Flames. This season, Flames has been playing great and I don't see him posting or may be no one is quoting him. Once the Flames has adversity, lose a game or two, he came out of woodwork.

Wish I had thr confidence some of you have but I'm very nervous.
It seems McDavid is in their heads, I hope they can shake it.

Yeah, same. They didn't respond well after game 2. Some of that might be due to the atmosphere in the arena. Hopefully getting one over with in Edmonton lets them focus a little better now, but talk is cheap. Their comments after game 3 are pretty much identical to their comments after game 2. Hoping for the best, but preparing myself for the worst.

[VilleN]

Huge games for Gaudreau and Markstrom. 4-1 Flames:
Gaudreau- 2g 1a
Jarnkrok - 1g
Gudbranson- 1g

I thought about similar thing after the series was 2-1 against Dallas. I thought Oettinger was in their head. I thought they've gotten under Tkachuk's skin and got him off his game. I was super nervous game 4 last series. But the boys shook it off and won game 4 and 5. Then game 7, Tkachuk back to his usual self.

[DynastyEra]

I just hope they don't get embarrassed.

[Royle9]

Hit everything
Skate hard
First to pucks
Dump it deep into corners don’t ring around boards
Stick to what got them here.

Just win.

Did any posters here or the Flames organization fly in Miikka? Who was 2x the goaltender?

To be fair, this franchise hasn't given anyone any reason to be optimistic over the years. I'm conditioned to expect the worst when it comes to the Flames. I've seen epic series meltdowns, and loses. I love to be proven wrong, but based on their reaction after game 2, I think it's fair that fans question the team a little bit. I would have expected that if they were losing they would at least play physical, and that didn't happen.



They have all the pieces to dominate this series.

[Southside403]

I have a feeling Backlund is coming out beast mode tonight.

[flylock shox]

Even if it's the Oilers, I'm not going to be crushed if the Flames lose so long as they play well.



If period 1 of this game looks anything like period 1 of the last game though, I'm not sure I'll stick around to watch the rest in real time. Watching them play badly, and lose, to the Oilers, is a trifecta of suck I want no part of.



I'm hoping the Flames at least score 6 in this one. Another 9 goaler would be just fine.

I hate the Oilers, but they are effing flying right now.
