Honestly, he's just that fast imo. It's sickening to see him in an Oilers jersey. He mentioned he wanted to play with Gaudreau... maybe he'll demand a trade to Calgary haha.

Points in 11 straight.
4th loss in a row
Powerplay that's actually beneficial to the opposition.
Lost to the Oilers.

Flames own the silver linings playbook. Because that's what gonna be trotted out incessantly over the break.

Embarrassing, this is a game that should spark changes but because of the win streak nothing will happen.

Hi we're the Calgary flames skill players. We're up two goals halfway through the game.

It's time to start practicing for the NHL skills competition!

Cute pass Ferly! Moner's not feeling it tonight so just dish to Jahnny!

It's like they're playing for the tie.... in OT. It's infuriating to watch

We should have put that away multiple times without SO.

Fun game though.

Well, at least we would probably still make the playoffs.

Consistently inconsistent.

Flames outside of a streak or so a year, are an avg team at best under this coaching staff.

I'm annoyed with Bennett again. He seems to have the finish of Matt Stajan. He scores on about 1 out of every 15 high scoring chances he gets.

Silver lining? Well, at least the oilers are creating separation from a top 5 pick.

I'll tell you what these last games have made me come to the realization that we will never win anything with Monahan and Gaudreau being our top forwards.

Monahan with an embarrassment of a game especially. His work helping the D in the corners was something to be proud of.

What's the definition of 'opportunistic'?

Won a board battle in OT against 2 Oilers to gift Jankowski a close in breakaway.

Silver Lining. Oilers get that false hope they'll make the playoffs. Pushing them out of a lottery ball pick.

The boys need the all-star break to recover from the effects of their last break.
