I'm a die hard Oilers fan but live in Calgary (non-native Albertan) But I am cheering for our Alberta team now as my Oilers JUST miss 8th spot, lol! Hell, is there an 80th spot?

What I noticed about games 1 and 2 is the absolute lack of emotion, confidence, effort and game plan! Brutal, this is the playoffs, act like it!

Where I place the blame is with the coaching staff. The team look unprepared and unmotivated. The wings are well oiled machine and know their game plan. The Flames look like there is no game plan, thus the lack of effort on the part of the players. It's a shame as they are a better group than that. If only the anti-Canadian bias from the refs was laid to rest, this would be an entirely different series.
