Post-Game Talk: Oilers 3 Flames 0 - McDavid Hatty

[Diamondillium]

I missed hockey.

 

[syz]

Best D in hockey gives up 45 shots

They were just trying to make Smith feel comfortable.

 

[snipes]

Absolutely pumped them. Love it!

Cheers boys glad to be back on this journey with you guys. This team if we play like we can will be the class of the west.

 

[McAsuno]

Hahahahaa, best D in the league my ass!

 

[oobga]

Hamonic at the end...

 

[KingKhron]

Nice that we don't have to listen to nonstop talk about Matthews 3 point night, thanks to Mr. MVP. That second goal was filthy. I need to go take a shower.

 

[Joey Moss]

Just dominant.. Flames can't keep up with us.

 

[McOilers97]

It's going to be the 80's all over again. Flames and Oilers have comparable teams in terms of skill, but add in McDavid/Gretzky on the Oilers' side and we've got the nuclear weapon that puts us over the top.

 

[Connor McFries]

This is what Leet players do.

Everyone :Oh McDavid has no shot. McDavid: hold my beer

 

[VainGretzky]

Matthews has less goals than McDavid. HOW CAN THIS BE!!!!

GFHGHJHGHCCNNJGghfgjvfuhcjjvkgcc

Leaf fans argument for tonight only is points are as important as goals and Matthews is his equal with 3 pts

 

[oilersfan87]

The Oilers sure made it look like there is going to be a lot to look forward to this season. That was an absolute perfect game.

 

[Seachd]

By the way, I believe only one Oiler has scored all three goals in a 3-0 game more than once. Now McDavid is halfway there.

 

[6 God]

guys!! jagr will save them!!!

 

[5 14 6 1]

Just a clinical effort from the entire team today. McDavid isn't human. Talbot was very good. Klefbom is a #1. Whole top line was great, and thought Lucic, Kassian and Nurse had great nights as well.

 

[snipes]

Klefbom and Larsson were studly.

How about Nurse? Thought he was better than any of the Flames D tonight, but those overrated chumps aren't a hard bar to beat. In all seriousness, Nurse was stellar.

 

[gooilgo]

And Sportsnet return to talking about the Leafs...Yawn.

 

[KenLinsemanFanClub]

McDavid was pretty good tonight. Reminds me of a young Austin Matthews.

 

[Connor McFries]

f***, I can't sleep. So pumped right now.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Has a team ever just sat out a season in the NHL? The Flames should really take advantage of this opportunity. Save everyone the trouble.

 

[Del Preston]

Comparing rosters here:

Gaudreau = McDavid
Monahan > Draisaitl
Versteeg < Lucic (but Versteeg is a proven winner where Lucic is a proven loser)
Bennett > Nugent-Hopkins
Brouwer > Jokinen
Tkachuk > Yamamoto
Backlund > Strome
Frolik > Maroon
Ferland > Caggiula
Stajan > Letestu
Hathaway > Khaira
Glass = Kassian
Giordano > Klefbom
Brodie > Larsson
Hamilton > Benning
Hamonic > Russell
Stone > Nurse
Bartkowski = Gryba
Smith > Talbot
Gulutzan > McChoken

We have no excuse to lose this one.

 

[KingKhron]

I guess it is same ol', same ol' with that line dominating and the rest of the team being silent but if that's the level of domination, I think we'll be ok. Seriously, McDavid hattie and a Talbot shutout? Against the Flames?! This must be a wet dream.

 

[voxel]

Nobody can stop that top line. Man, we need some secondary scoring

Loved how our D cleared the puck out and didn’t allow for many opps. Less worried about losing Reggie for so long.

 

[YakDavid]

Honestly can't stand Friedman, sure Mathews had a good night but its not a comparison to McDavid. Stop trying to make them equal.

 

[Spawn]

Pretty much total domination. The score flattered the flames.

It really was domination. I think Talbot needed to make one hard save. Probably the easiest shut out of his career.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Lost in everything, Talbot did make some pretty good saves. Looks in mid-season form. Calm and in all the right spots.
