Because cap constraints. They obviously don’t want to burn any more space until they absolutely have to.

Hopefully they can contain big bird nurse and his 43 minutes of play.

Considering that there is 82 games, I'm irrationally annoyed by the Coleman suspension and Pitlick injuries.

I'm kinda excited to see a second line of Monahan, Mangiapane and Coleman. I think they're going to be quite good. I think their styles will complement each other.

Dube, Backlund and Pitlick has the potential to be a sneaky good 3rd line too.

Positive for me is the oilers already had their home opener so we don't have to wait 20 minutes for ceremonies and we can just get to pick drop right away

I'm in Vegas. Oilers are -150 @ MGM.

I think that's a decent investment to guarantee a Flames win.

I wish I had the skill to photoshop Lucic’s face on to drederick tatum. Or would that be cultural appropriation? I don’t know.

Expecting a really solid game from the Flames, to the point that I am almost confident of a W.

However, I expect multiple PPs for the Oilers in the 3rd, including a 5 on 3, and the W will be snatched from our grasp.

I can’t help but notice, “Cultural appropriation” is a one-way street.

I think you’d only be in trouble if you put Lucic in blackface.

Tonight's game marks the beginning of the 50th season in the history of the Flames franchise.

I took the liberty of designing a quick logo to commemorate the occasion.

Pathetic cap management to handicap the team before the season has even started.

There are 10 or so teams with less cap space...it has more to do with the suspension

The leafs had to sign a temp college goalie today as a backup because of their cap… THAT’S pathetic.

I'd contribute money to a worthwhile charity if Sutter would say "E=NG."

Hoping for a tight, controlled and convincing 2 - 0 win for the good guys tonight, despite Nurse tearing the spacetime continuum and playing 63 minutes.
