Love Point Roberts, what a crazy mistake that was when drawing the border.

Yeah, a trap game is one where you are guilty of looking past it.

It's the BOA. If they are looking past this, I want every player on the team moved, the coach fired, and the GM publicly humiliated.

[Manhattanboy]

Flames should not be looking at this game as a spoiler to nail shut the Oiler coffin.

We need to be all business. Just another road game where 2 big points are on the line that will move us closer to a playoff spot.

Completely agree. As I mentioned previously, I dont care how its done, just get 2 points and move along.

No one can save the Oilers.

Not even John Torterella can save the Oilers.

No one can.

No one.

Is tweetworthy a word? Good lord. Garbage like this from a terrible writer just clogs up bandwidth.

I think that's what the Flames did wrong in the first game. Tried a little too hard to impose their game, forgetting that most AHL teams could man-handle the Oilers 5-on-5. There was no need to be excessive.

The Oilers were still riding high after unveiling another pre-season champion banner and cashed in on their chances.

So was Tippett, so was MacLellan, so was Hitchcock...it's the wonder twins that do not want to do the structure.

[djsFlames]

Is Draisaitl deciding to behave himself at work really worthy of not only a tweet, but a praising tweet?

That's some massive overcompensating just to try to manufacture a better reputation for a guy who rightfully earned every bit of the reputation his ####y personality has carved out for him.

How invested do you have to be to run to the defence of a guy like that.

That's the behavior of a spineless person with no integrity when it comes to their standards for people. He gives them (McDrai) hall passes on objectively immature behavior entirely because they produce a lot of points for the Oilers.

Imagine being that situationally flexible on your principles and deliriously biased.

So pathetic.

So well put. I really like your takes DJS.

Sutter on the pregame show is all business.

[Moneyhands23]

Zack kassian out is a shame. He could be lured in to 2 or 3 penalties

[Reggie Dunlop]

Pitlick and Ruzicka scratched.

[Reggie Dunlop]

2-1 Heat over Henderson at the end of the first.

Pospisil and Froese.

Sven Baertschi for the Silver Knights

I really don't think he's appreciated here or in the hockey world as much as he should be, even with 2 Cup wins.

We as Flames fans are supremely lucky to have him back here and to have had him the first time.

[CroFlames]

Conserve your thanks tonight boys. I got a feeling it’s gonna be a wild one tonight.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Sutter with the history lesson...

https://twitter.com/user/status/1485039575772848133

Brian Sutter was drafted by the WHA Oilers....

[CroFlames]

I’m not going to double check to see if he’s right. I just assume Darryl always has the answers.

[GioforPM]

I keep seeing this commercials talking about McDavid doing “something unthinkable” and every time the word “backcheck” comes into my head.

[3rd liner]

My 10 year old is already sarcastically calling Mcdavid the golden boy. Raising this kid right.
