Fun little fact... the next time we see the Flames' flag jerseys, it will be in the first of three consecutive games where they'll be wearing them.

Good part is that they are making Barrie look great. 6x6 next.

I will bet large that they don't get swept. If there are any brooms, the Flames will be holding them

Also Smith. Is it possible they give him a multi year, multi-million$ contract?

It's like the whole team forgot how to play like they'd done for the last three games. They started out poorly - right from the drop of the puck they fumbled, and never really recovered. A few good shifts with little to nothing to show for them. And, as often, too little and FAR too late.

The most interesting thing? How will Sutter respond?

That is the complete opposite of a "fun little fact", Scorp.

He constantly gives the puck to the other team in their own zone and isn't fast enough to get back. Fourth line or press box IMO.

Wasn't aware MacKinnon was traded.

They have the better stars, no doubt.

And by better I mean they have them, and we do not.

It's going to be fun to watch the oilers fall flat on their faces once again despite having them.

Having a top line C would be nice. Monahans inability to play up to that level puts a lot of pressure on others.
Flames really need to upgrade on Monahan.

Such a fun fact! Totally cheered my night up!

Nothing grinds my gears more than getting blown out by the Oil. Blood is boiling.
