All of this is more than what the Flames have done... It's a really low bar.

We all laugh at how bad Edmonton has been run but refuse to see that Calgary is in a worse position to succeed.

I hate the Oilers and McDavid as much as the rest of you, but the Mangiapane McDavid meme is oiler fans level of homerism

Also, might want to take a look how Holland ran the Wings in a cap system and why he isn't their GM and they have sucked for 5+ years
Haha some arguments there champ. Man you’re on it tonight. Holland can’t keep winning when the team he has built is coming to their swan song. They were competitive for how long? More competitive sustainability than any coach or executive in our neck of the woods could ever boast about.

47 shots but how many were dangerous? Goalies like Kelly hrudey said in the broadcast tonight, play better with more work to do, especially when a lot of those chances aren’t really dangerous. Not gonna win many when a 39 year old goalie people are laughing at schools your team full of try hards.

Flags fly forever. Think Pittsburgh fans are embarrassed? Washington? No because they have cups and we have sour grapes.

Well going back to your original argument, half of which held no weight

Gold medals & tournament MVPs in a win >>>> Art Ross trophies in meaningless season.

Every time.

There is a grand total of 0 times that I've thought about Johnny's individual trophy awards since he won them. I'm sure he does, but I don't. If those trophies truly mean something to Edmontonians then great for them, but we care more about team success down here.

Except the Oilers haven't won 2 rounds...they have won ONE in McDavid's career

Your stat of "playoff wins" made no sense because the Flames have more recent playoff wins

We’ve played the Oilers and the Ducks.

If the Oilers didn’t have McDrai, they’d be the Ducks. A bottom 5 team.

You, sir, need a hobby. (a better one)
I never said a bum and now you’re editorializing what I said to fit your new narrative of making me an antagonist. Some shrewd insights their boss.

Who’s a no good fan? I cheer for these teams they trot out there year after year only to never be able to compete for a championship. I just don’t go to the stadium to pay elaborate prices for their optimistic opium they pour at the dome. Now they gotta pay for a new stadium with our group? They must really have their finger on the pulse of this fan base if they know we are gonna support massive ticket price increases and property tax for a team that may never fill that arena with a championship banner before we stop paying for that stadium come year 35.

So you are a troll, good to know

This is as good as the Oilers are gonna get, are they good enough to win? I don't think so. Holland has spent all his cap space on Hyman, Nurse, and Keith. GL


Anyway, go to HF if you want to talk about how good the Oilers are managed lol...FFS

Not at all. Are you insinuating this because youre looking to pick on someone who says some harsh truths about our favourite team? Lookup my past posts. I’m red through and through.

I just know that team has a better chance to win something meaningful opposed to our moribund group.

You are talking about the world championships, a tournament that is missing the best players in the world regularly. Due to the fact that, you know, most of the top players in the world are actually playing in the NHL playoffs. Do you remember who made some of these teams and played actual games?? Connor Mackey was a starting defencemen for the Americans. ####... Owen Power played and didn't look out of place.

I think some people are thumb sucking their favourite fancy stats.

The ducks are plain bad.

The flames were better but never really dangerous. They controlled the puck but mostly did nothing with it. Little sustained pressure and few rebounds. The best the flames could muster against a bad team was a coin toss.

So you’re omniscient ? You know how they are going to finish every year? Get out of your own egos way there man. Really unbefitting of decent fan talk. Yet some how I’m the troll.

You have come to a Flames/Ducks PGT to ramble on about Brady being better than Mat and that the Oilers are well managed (both are laughable)

Dying on both hills

if that isn't trollish I don't know what is


How about talking about the ####ing game and the two teams that played?

I haven't refused anything.

You're way over on the No Good (TM) side of things, so I refuse to engage with you further good sir.

Oh I guess I did refuse something.

All the Oilers have and talk about are the past Cup wins from the glory days. Can't talk about much else can they?
