The worst thing that happened to Edmonton fan's sanity was that they beat Boston.

If Edmonton fans were sane in the first place then they wouldn't be Edmonton fans.

I'm sure it's Rogers that pays for those appearances, but his Dinner is bought and paid for by Stauffer OEG. One thing I actually respect Bob a lot for is he openly explains that often. During the dark times he would get as negative as he was allowed and then remind people that as a piad paid employee of OEG he was never going to do what some fans were asking of him

He's also complementary of the Flames a fair bit for an Edmonton guy so I have always given him credit for that.

I think we're going to look back and be glad it happened because of the massive ego bump it provided prior to the fall.

Losing 7-4 with their better goalie in net and D "improvements" on display sounds like reason for concern for these surefire contenders, no?

They're claiming to be good enough to win a championship over teams of Toronto's ilk, after all.

What happened guys??

I bet if they still had Barrie, they would've only lost 7-5.

If only that puck had gone in, they’d have lost 7-6!

What are they being awarded for? 25 years of suck & bleeding eardrums?

Makes sense that McDavid would present that award. I have a similar visceral reaction whenever he is mentioned.

Pretty sure the drummer is actually a huge Flames fan.

Anyway, McDavid is so awkward and unlikeable. Zero charisma. He’s so lame.
