The Oilers defanitly got lucky on a couple of the calls tonight BUT they did manage to score on them, where was the flames PK (500 ouch!) where was Kipper, he faced a lot of shots but where is the guy that can win one, I know, I know he is a slow starter but how far behind do you want to be??
BTW the flames had just as many power plays and a chance to come back in the thrid but could not make it happen. Edmonton looked great on the fore-check for a good chunck of the last 10 minutes of the game.
As for Dion... The kid is a glory hog punk, yeah I said it!! How many times does he put himself out of position to try and make the hi-lite reel, either by trying to throw the big hit or dangle in with the puck when he should be worried about being in postion? If it all works great he looks like a hero but most the time he just ends up out of position and someone has to cover for him. but he does have skill, maybe someday he will have a head on shoulders to match.
Cant wait for tonight Oilers 5, Flames 2. Kenann finally pulls the hook out for kipper after edmonton third goal of the first period!!

first of all, Thanks for hammering home the joke with your bulb comment. What do you mean where was kipper???? He got beat by good goals. Not his fault. Admit it coiler fans. You guys would stop at nothing to trade away any of your best d-men for Dion. he is a norris finalist for a reason. Of course someone has to cover for him. that is part of the flames system. Do you not think they practice it????? cmon and give the man some credit. That is the forwards duty, to fall back and cover the point. It has been since peewee hockey. His only blemish is his d-zone coverage. always has been and once he has that licked(he is getting much better) Can you say Norris? Anyone? And yeah, It is a back to back game sooooo. kipper likely wont be starting.
