[GDT] Oilers @ Flames - 8PM MST - CBC/SN/SNW

[Dragomir]

We haven’t put together a solid 60 minutes in a long time(if at all) this season, that’s all I ask for!

Hanifin just scares me period. Can get walked with ease, bad pinches, poor gap control at times, caught out of position a lot. He sort of plays the game like a rover with out enough awareness. He’d probably make a better forward than a defenseman.

Yeah, I was on the "hey he's young" train with him after the big trade, now I'd just like to see him play NHL level defense as a focus, forget rushes, pinches, scoring... just control play in your own end for now.

Well, you calling it a hip check is equivalent to him calling it a knee....

God I am so sick of these broadcasters. Show the Kassian attack from 2 games ago, show the "dirty" check by Gio, wonder if the "stick flip" by Rittich will cause some fireworks. It is brutal. Friedman is horrible and closely followed by Hrudey.

"The best player in the world mad about what he thought was intent in injure"

What does Crosby have to do with the BoA though?

Friedman is the Lindsey Graham of SN. He used to be a decent commentator and displayed some common sense at least, but he's now officially been sucked into the Oiler propaganda machine and licks their arses every time he's on. It's embarrassing.

[CalgaryFan1988]

The hockey world are desperate to have the "best player in the NHL" play in Canada. So desperate it's transparent.

For my money Nathan MacKinnon is the best in the game right now.
