[McDeepika]

Feel like Drai has missed a lot of those one-timers this year.

 

[dssource]

Strong period for the Oilers other than the penalties. Flames had nothing 5 in 5. Gotta stay out of the box and keep the pressure on.

 

[Cloned]

McDavid still not fully healthy. Looks like he’s at 70%.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Probably got some of the good drugs from the alumni.

dude you are just nagging on everything tonight aren't you? Are you mad? upset at something?

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Nice can opener on mcdavid not worth a five in three

 

[LTIR]

Two hand chops are " trying to slow down McDavd".

f*** this play by play flames homer

 

[oXo Cube]

Ekholm with his first good period of the season.

Flames look worse than we ever have so far this year.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Good 1sy. Just need a good 2sy

 

[Black Gold Extractor]

McDavid still not fully healthy. Looks like he’s at 70%.

It's especially obvious when he tries to pivot.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I love how excited and happy Kulak is. Best he's played so far imo.

 

[EnufAlready]

Leon was great that period.

 

[brentashton]

Right on, mon frere!

Insert typical dirty French laugh here

 

[Mav3rick07]

Ekholm and Kane had strong periods. That's promising.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Idk if the Flames are just bad or if the Oilers are playing back to form

 

[Mr Positive]

They should have had another alumni game. If the dynasty is too old do the Weight-Smyth-Hemsky era vs Iginla/Kipprsoff era

 

[McDrai]

McDavid still not fully healthy. Looks like he’s at 70%.

He definitely doesn’t have that top gear. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out for another week once this one is done. Pretty sure he wouldn’t be playing if this wasn’t an outdoor game.

How was that post nagging. It was making a joke.

You should coach elite hockey players. What do you do for a living?

well, they don't play until Nov 2 after tonight.

I want it to be all Oilers but the Flames did a lot of simple puck screw ups and giveaways

I have to give big props to the PK. It looked great and Skinner made good saves. The team didn't screen him too bad, while manage to block a lot

I think the reverting back to the old system is paying big dividends. This team only knows how to play man to man and they have enough skill to do it (unlike most teams).

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Boys look good...but there must be better options on the 2nd pp unit than mcleod and Brown

 

[ujju2]

I'm liking all 3 of our top 3 lines today so far. Kane-Nuge-Hyman especially. Hoping it continues.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Good active sticks in their own end. Much higher work rate in all zones.

 

[NeverForget06]

He's not - I bet he won't be for another few weeks. He wouldn't be playing if this was a game against the coyotes in AZ
