Happy New Year to all on CP.

Great to see we helped the oilers finish the year with a loss but also giving them a point to hopefully climb out of the bottom two. I actually like to hear that they played well because i just want them to improve enough to get out of those bottom two spots but still not make the playoffs.

That was the worst-officiated game this hockey fan has seen in the NHL this season, with numerous iffy calls by referees Francis Charron and Eric Furlatt, all of which seemed to tilt in the same direction. The zebras came down hard and often on the Oilers, notably on a match penalty on Keith Aulie for a booming hit in the neutral zone, while ignoring the two Calgary Flames who came after him in the subsequent scrum.
Ummm... Clear head shot. Thems the rules, Bruce.

Oil are 7-21-6 against the Flames since 2010

Well yes all the above is true, but the highest priority now is finishing in LAST PLACE to ensure we get one of the top two picks...and, in that respect therin lies the biggest failure of the night...why could they not go down during regular time...and thus not pick up that single point...now Oilers tied for last...clearly the overriding priori is to get some good separation in the standings from Carolina.

Not to focus on the negative but I thought Granlund was really fighting the puck last night. Also lost his man on the Oiler's 2nd goal. Doesn't help his cause to stay up when Backlund is ready.

Noticed this as well, although I don't know that 1 game means he should worry about backs coming back. He's more deserving than others based on his overall contributions. Regardless Backs returning makes some tough choices again.

Johnny was awesome again last night. Didn't get the results, but I thought was our most dangerous forward. He set up some ridiculous one-timers that we just didn't convert. Might have just been me but seemed to get shafted on PP time.

Scrivens was the main reason the game was close IMO. Up in Edmonton and family is a bunch of Oiler fans. I tried to keep my cool, but when the Flames scored in OT I ran around the living room offering fist pumps to all of the dejected fans. Only got one of a possible fourteen.

Happy new year!!

Sour grapes. Oilers fans make it sound like they are the first fan base to ever be victimized by a five minute major for a head shot. The Flames maybe benefitted from the officiating but it's not like any team doesn't get the shaft once a week in the NHL over the 82 game schedule and the team that skates harder and dictates the play typically draws more penalties. The fact is that the Flames outplayed the Oilers for the majority of the game as the Oilers were opportunistic scoring on their few solid chances while the Flames had many more chances that missed the net (what's up with all these guys missing the net the last month?).

That's some pretty lousy reporting.....

The 5 and a game was a headshot - pretty clear. The coilers scored their pp goal on a cheesy call against Stajan, so maybe call that spade a spade. Journalism in Edmonton is about as good as the hockey team.....

Way to end/start the year on a whiny note, McCruddy. He hit him in the head with his shoulder, and when you see that happen and a player lying on the ice without his helmet it's going to get called. If we had three goals on that power play I can see playing the victim card but we didn't even score.

Edmonton should be hoping that Schultz gets thrown out each game because they'd have a better chance at winning.

You're right, it doesn't seem possible. Thats a way higher point% then they have against the rest of the league!

I dont know if its been said yet, but at least Hallsy knows how it feels to have your teammates bail on you for the bench.

I thought the Oilers were decent last night but threw it all away on a typically Oilers play.

Absolutely crazy that even Oiler fans think the only way out of this is another 30th place finish. Yes the player at 1 or 2 is amazing, but the loser culture is not going to change with attitudes like this. Sheesh, not only do they need to get rid of upper management, but there fans are almost in need of a rebuild as well. They have been conditioned to love the abuse like a battered victim that keeps going back for more.
