[GT] Flames @ Oilers

[direwolf]

Oilers going all out on this PP like it's game 7 of the Cup final.

[DoubleK]

I really hope Vladar gets 30 ish starts this year.

[Sandman]

Meloche was brought in to be a potential Gudbranson replacement IMO.

[FlamesAreOne]

The way these announcers are yelling, you'd think this was game 7 of the final.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I'm starting ti wonder if Vladar gets the start in Edmonton for the second game.

[Dreamingof89again]

This is really the worst PBP I have heard. Orgasmic for the Oilers they do realize it is a preseason game and the Flames have like maybe 8 regulars playing against the Oilers season opening roster. Ugh

every Valimaki shift is spent in the defensive zone. He can't make a pass, he can't win a battle, and he can't clear the zone

Yes, but to be fair, the preseason has historically been the Oilers "Stanley Cup Final."

They broke him out of prison to sign? lol

And yet people were consistently rating him in our top ten prospects this summer. Those of us who had seen his game fall apart in the minors tried to warn everyone, but it didn't seem to make an impact.


Honestly, he's starting to approach bust territory unless he makes a big change to his performance.

[Mathgod]

I don't know if it's too early to be delclaring him a first round bust but... Juuso... you're not looking so hot out there...

Good job by Mackey on McDoofus.

We will see. I think he fits that top 9 spot the best, and the Flames are going all in. Put the best player in, shouldn’t consider age or position if there is a fit. Can send him back down at any time if it’s not working.

I just don't think he has played well enough to warrant that.

Haven't seen a minute of the game tonight and I was expecting Valimaki to be a -5 on the night based on the comments. Is Vladar playing out of his mind or what?

[Reggie Dunlop]

Mackey with another great move on MavI
