weren't some flames fans comparing Gaudreu to McDavid a year ago? loool yeah about that.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

what's funny is that last season, the third was our best period, and if we were behind two goals no fans would think we were done.

Funny enough before that Boston game we were perfect when leading after 2.

But man I've seen this script so many times in past years. Give up an early goal in the third and scramble the rest of the way.

Kipper is hard to listen to.

 

[Mr Positive]

Ethan Bear has the best breakout pass of any of our defencemen. That's really depressing. He's looking good out there though.

Ethan Bear will look great but that doesn't mean he is (yet)

His skating and defensive game need serious work but you can tell he’s a smart player, good puck mover, and potentially the RHD PPQB we’ve been looking for.

Definitely got a NHL player here

His skating actually looks better to me then it did in the preseason.

Oil are up after 2 vs a cup contender #posthoughts

 

[Sanchez]

Scott Oake must have been up all night figuring out these questions.

He has a very high offensive IQ and makes very quick reads and passes. If he improves his skating he could be an absolute gem for us.

That first goal wouldn't have happened if Lucic was out there because there's no chance he'd have tagged up in time.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

He's never really impressed me in any of our camps. He seems like a guy that takes awhile to get going in a season.

Is it just me or is Looch looking better tonight since the style of play of his linemates has slowed down vs. when he's out with McDavid? On the flip side this hasn't been one of Drai's better games probably at least in part due to his linemates to be fair.

 

[syz]

Hopefully they're conscious to start the period here for once...

As well as he's played he's still got to go back down to Bakersfield by his 9th game. After that we can bring up Manta or Jones. It would be completely foolish to burn a year of ELC at this point of the season.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hoping for another goal or two from the top line, Nuge and Connor seem to be clicking now.

His ELC started already due to him being in the AHL for 9 games.

He's too old for his contract to slide.

Okie dokie keep him here the rest of the year.

 

[Jepprey]

Connor on fire now that he isn't being anchored by a gargoyle.

 

[BudBundy]

Lol Russell. 3 on 2, two guys going to net, no backchecker for miles. He stops at top of circles and fires a muffin at the crest. Slow-clap.
