flames oilers game 2...... pay back's a bitch!

 

[takethebounce]

actually pay back is 2 points...

neither team played well...if I was a Sutter I would still be very concerned for my career...

 

[scramblerX]

game didn't go to overtime so it was a 2 point game. You're right though neither team played great, the oiler goals were very lame and calgary didn't play well at all till the third period. Season is very early, they might start rolling or maybe they'll struggle, we'll see.

Let's face it. The Flames are horrible this year. Edmonton will be fun to watch for the most part. I'm a Flames fan but to be honest...I'd rather watch the Islanders this year.

The Flames are the new Oilers!

In Edmonton???

Is DiPietro hurt yet? Has anyone noticed the Islanders are first in the East?

No, but roly made a good backup the other nite.......it is to early to tell weather the leafs or the isle will do anything with the rest of the season..........I hear that the depiethroat worked on his glove and down low all summer.

 

[tmix]

they both get hurt before the season hits half way...

 

[scramblerX]

Should probably just ask the sharks how horrible the flames are!

 

[tmix]

good game tonight flamers win in shoot out...friggin flamers

 

[takethebounce]

There are a few players in Edm that need to go....

Penner (unmotivated, doesn't skate), Cogliano (can't win a faceoff, all speed, no hands) and find a true 1st pairing of D's

Keep Eberle with Horcoff, put Hemsky back on that line...
2nd line, (whoever replaces Penner), Gagner , Hall
3rd line, Paajarvi, Fraser, (whoever replaces Cogliano)
4th, Bring up the Prospects - Reddox, VanVelde, and your pick of enforcer (Big Mac or Stortini)

Get rid of Brule, Jones and Jacques...They have no future in Edmonton.
Also when there is a true 1st pairing of D's good bye Vandermeer and Strudwick (I like Strudwick, but its time to retire)

Hall once through 30-40 games will settle down, over the next year will gain some weight and be able to put up 50 points or so next year.

Also, if there was any time looking for a playoff goaltender, send The Bulin out as fast as you can, bring back Gerber for the remaining of the season and make a final decision on the other two if it hasn't been decided by Xmas.

Calgary got lucky with the sharks. Lucky the sharks decided not to skate at all! No other team will give you that much time and space to move the puck around on a powerplay.
I like games where just about everyone (except maybe the oiler defense) is playing hard. It could have gone either way.
Eberle looks good and I can't believe they put Penner in the shoot-out. They must have thought Kipper sucks so bad in shoot-outs it won't really matter.
Oh well... 2 points for us.

You sound like an Oilers fan, 8 games in and the season is over.

No because an Oilers fan is a fan till the end, win, lose or last place, we still cheer!

Pretty sure we had all of last season to determine how bad they suck. Last night they played the way they can. 7-2...come on now.

[jonniebud]

[takethebounce]

Most certainly, and between them they will have more Cups to share than anyone else!
