The world's biggest Oilers fan.
Praying they win since he was ranked No. 1!

I’m a Boston fan, and yeah, they aren’t the greatest. But they aren’t an embarrassment either. Saying that, how many playoff series have the shames won in the last 25 years?

No Canadian team has won a Stanley Cup in this Century.

Jets leading Sharks, Canuckleheads whupping Kings, Ducks up a goal on hungry Rangers, Flames still in third Pacific going into tomorrow night, Quick pulled after allowing 5 goals on 19 shots, going to be a gooder.

Dennis Wideman's ghost in the building? Face off violation gets the Flames a minor? Absolute classic talent goal from Flames top line!

That was such a dumb, weak penalty....but that goal by Monahan was insane! 4 perfect beauty passes and in the net? Whoohoo!

Flames taking too many undisciplined penalties here....other than the stupid face off violation, all deserved, and a couple they got away with. Playing with an edge is good...stupid is bad.
Good thing their PK has been so good. Seems like some real hate going on, they are trading penalties.....Kings getting extra twos for unsportsmanlike twice now!
Tkachuk sure gets them riled up!

Shots 24-14 Flames after two..and Johnny's last shift he had the puck for 40 seconds, looking for the pass...sometimes I wonder why a big D man doesn't make him into paste!?. But he sure makes room for Monahan and Ferland when he has everyone looking at him.

Fun night at the dome with my Son..
Good game.
And yes, that whole team hates him.
JG seems to always find room where none seems to be.
That goal was nuts.
Awesome goaltending by Smith. He is all world right now

Good night of hockey. Could have been a bit better.
Smith may be out for a few games.

Tonight will be interesting...any other team and I'd say the Oilers are ripe for another loss...but these are my Flames...who knows how it'll go. Fingers crossed...we need a win before the break.

But that point still puts them 12 points ahead of Edmonton.

I think the first practice after the all star break Gulutzan needs to lose his mind again can't do the stick throw again but maybe a garbage can or something.

I heard something about it on the radio on the way home. But I would like to know as well. I didn't see anything at the game.
Anyone have any info?
With out him, we are dead.
We need some scoring!!! Lots of chances, we out played them but we still lost.

I watched the game last night and the announcers mentioned him possibly tweeking something on one of his saves....

Points in 11 straight games, 18 points of 22 and competing hard...I guess you take what you can get.
But dang it burns to lose to the Oilers again.

I'd suggest they devote the entire next practice to the shootout and Glen can maybe watch to see who's actually good at it. Hint, Ferland has a great shot, which don't necessary transfer to a great shootout performance, as the vast majority of SO goals I see are scored on the deke. At least they got three shots off this time, progress I guess.

As soon as it goes to shoot out I feel like turning it off, makes me cringe every time. Tkachuk has been awesome, 4 for 5 this year, with that crazy fast release but the rest of the team.... Monahan is hit or miss, Johnny was embarrassing with that silly little flip over the sprawled goalie (imo, others thought it was fantastic but I just thought it was weak)....maybe try Backlund in there sometime. And Frolik when he comes back. Heck, maybe even let Dougie Hamilton have a go, kid has a potful of game winners already!!
Dang, it sucks to lose to the Oilers. 4 OT/SO losses in a row hurts, even if they do pick up the point.
