GDT: GAME 1 - WCSF OILERS @ FLAMES, 7:30 p.m. MT | TV: CBC/Sportsnet | Radio: Sportsnet 960

[Nanuuk]

Oilers going with 11F/7D.

I think Flames should start 12F/6D and roll all four lines. You have to know Edmonton will play McSaviour 25+ minutes game in and game out, particularly if we have the lead.

I like Stone, but right now we need a heavy forecheck to start the process of wearing down the Oiler's D.

let's smash these power play merchants

 

[DFF]

I hope the Flames are shooting a bit better this round. If I have to see another goalie turn into a brick f***ing wall, I may just lose it.

I have full confidence in Smith

 

[Ladyfan]

Good Luck tonight!

Lots of Bruin's fans cheering for you (we still love Looch).

GO Flames

 

[TheHudlinator]

I love Stone, but I would start Ritchie for the first few games of this series, at least at home.

They have a soft D core and need to eat glass on every play

With Tanev missing game 7 0% chance I'm risking being down to 5 d men

Apparently the Red Lot is closed due to extreme wind?

Sitting in my hotel in Lisbon. Contemplating going to bed and getting up at 2:30 to watch…

or just staying up and drinking all night until it’s on and watching.

Is this the biggest game in the history of HFFlames?

Seems like an easy decision to me ; )

Yeah it might be. Game 6 against the Canucks in 2015 might be close.

[Boomstick]

Go Flames Go! I'm feeling confident and cautiously optimistic. We can do this. Let's go boys, let's win game 1 en route to winning the series.
Go Flames Go!

 

[probeyca]

OK Flames, let's go out there and kick some Oiler butt. With the Oiler goaltending I believe the flames have this.

 

[TheHudlinator]

If we can stay outta the box I really like our chances. LA was able to control 5v5 for long stretches against the Oilers and they were beat up. With that said I'm expecting every little thing called

 

[Some Other Flame]

Given how much the Oilers dive and splash around, no chance the Flames can avoid the penalty box

 

[DCDM]

Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Hey Flamers here's to a good series, we're all super pumped, cheers

Now f*** you guys

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Kick some ass Calgary! So excited for this series!

 

[c9gunner]

Lets go boys! Stay focused and stary away from the penalty box.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

My body is ready.

 

[Some Other Flame]

No Tanev

That's bad

 

[Bounces R Way]

Save us Stone

 

[DCDM]

My gosh this is exciting.

 

[Straight Fire]

Canyonero take us to the river

Watching at an Original Joe's due to the power outage at home. Go Flames!

Woo-hoo!!!!

 

[probeyca]

Smith at his best

 

[Mitts]

Let's go boys !

 

[Ace Rimmer]

OH BABY

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

[Mitts]

[DCDM]
