Good game. Full team effort. I liked a lot about it.

Differ in perspective on high danger chances and measuring by raw count. The low down dirty Oilers had several 10 bell chances and Smith more than answered the bell. Flames arguably had more chances but the Oilers were more dangerous.

In the real world, the Oilers scored a goal, but luckily the current NHL is not the real world.

I loved the effort, several notable plays including Gio being hard on McJesus and hitting him on the way past to knock the puck off his stick, also the play by Gio where McJesus dished and he got a stick on it. I liked Brodie giving McJesus a face massage when he went for the puck on Smith, and Hamonic’s reinforcement. Also Backlund with some good checking on McJ. You see the trend.

The GAS meter was reading in the positive.

And we agree, Bennett is (going to be) good

lol

in what 'real world' does pushing the goalie into the net constitute a real goal?

Yeah. The old real world, I guess, where you could poke at a puck in the crease which may be settling in under the goal pad, and if it snuck through before the whistle blew it was a goal.

I didn’t think that was a terribly egregious one.

Well McLellan doesn't even agree with you, but whatever floats your boat.

If you don't think he pushed Smith backwards, I suggest you watch it again.

Fair enough.

In my defense I was involved in a game that prescribed a drink every time McJesus dove or whined!

And watching it again would have me put eyes on that wretched team. Politely declined.
