Really unlucky on 2 bounces - one off Mangiapane and in, the other when he was properly challenging on the power play and it goes off a foot right to an open man. Had a chance to save the 3 on 1, but couldn’t squeeze it - that was his worst goal (and even there no one tied up the scorer). And I have no idea what Hanifin was doing on the other one.

SN are just giddy. The game is over. The favourite team is moving on. Should just go to the post game.

[Harry Lime]

Listened to the first two periods on the radio, finally made it to a tv, and pop onto CP to check out the gamethread. Is the eye test really bad on so many Flames players, or are there some "flamesfans" in here stirring things up?

If the Flames can settle the f*** down and play this 3rd period like they did the 1st, I like their chances of winning this one. If they continue to get sucked into playing pond hockey and trade chances with these losers, it'll be handshakes at the end of the night.

Also, I just want to reiterate how much I hate the way the Oilers play the game. And I hate that they sucked so hard for so long and actually got rewarded for their complete ineptitude. Without McDavid, I'm betting they don't even make the playoffs. F'n losers.

Oh man, then what? Like, you trade him, leaving our right side D as Tanev? Is Gudbrandson back next year?

[Yobbo]

No lead seems safe at this point. C'mon guys, let's bring this home. I hate the Oilers with a burning passion. We can't lose this to them in 5 games.

So the high stick led to the screen and the missed coverage by Coleman. And Hanifin is stuck with a minus and a cut lip.

Zero chance that gets let go if it's a Flame player cutting an Oiler with a high stick leading to a Flame goal.

Honestly I have a bottle of Nyquil right here and was going to hold off until the end of the game to partake but I'm wondering if I shouldn't just go for it.

[Buff]

Geez. I come to read some comments in the intermission and now I'm feeling like the Flames lost every game for the next 5 years. Can't listen to Sportsnet panel and can't read the GT.

Well CP if this is the last period of the year in a game thread it's been a pleasure overall this year.

The usual suspects are not playing well.

[1qqaaz]

I wonder what Sutter is saying to them right now.

[Lanny_McDonald]

It is still mind blowing that Draisaitl has 16 points in four and two-thirds games in this series. How can you expect to win games if you let one guy score 16 points against you? 16 points! But he's been a non-factor. Amiright?

[jayswin]

Had to grab more beer at intermission and a 5 year old kid booed me mercilessly walking down the sidewalk after seeing my jersey (mom apologized and said they were from Vancouver). He was still going as I turned the corner a block away. Amazing

[GioforPM]

Great pick by the ref.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Oilers taking over

[kevman]

Ha. Because the Oilers weren't getting away with enough picks the ref set one for them.

[Rejean31]

Markstrom is so ####ing lost!!

[JohnnyB]

Well, I obviously have a preferred result, but I'm kind of okay with whatever happens this period.
