I haven't watched any of the games, so I don't know if it's the goalies or the players in front of them, looking like it was just a bad 1st period, but it's not exactly confidence inspiring stats. I guess if we score seven a night, we should be fine though.

Never knew that....Thanks Jamie:)

Nice solid win tonight.

Well mcdavid ain’t playing Saturday. Should be like a 60 minute power play for the flames. Lol.

He is their entire team. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Better hope the flames don’t lose on Saturday then. That would be humiliating!

Unless Lazar is playing. Then it's back to even.

Lazar is on waivers! :sHa_shakeshout:

GM also placed Kulak and Peluso on waivers. Sportsnet predicted line up is as follows:

Forwards
Johnny Gaudreau - Sean Monahan - Elias Lindholm
Matthew Tkachuk - Mikael Backlund - James Neal
Dillon Dube - Derek Ryan - Austin Czarnik
Sam Bennett - Mark Jankowski - Michael Frolik

Defence
Mark Giordano-TJ Brodie
Noah Hanifin-Travis Hamonic
Juuso Valimaki-Michael Stone

Goalies
Mike Smith
David Rittich

Looks pretty good to me.

Looks like 4 - 2nd lines. Me like!

(Though one could argue mony/johnny/lindy is a legit 1st line.)

I like.. I wouldn't mind though being a little more stable in net...
Should be an exciting season. Bring it on!!

I think it's a nice deep team...other than I'm still not sold on Smith between pipes. Hope I'm wrong about him. And glad Lazar is on waivers. Be curious if anyone picks him up.

Sounds like we are all on the same page as far as our keeper situation.

It starts tonight!

I'm more excited about this season than past seasons by a wide margin.

Finally! :sHa_shakeshout:

Let 'er buck boys! GO FLAMES!!!!:sHa_shakeshout:

Oilers fans should be excited to watch the Flames tonight. Since their own team got kicked off the continent on opening night.

Ohhh man.... if you boys lose to the Canuthings tonight.. she gonna be a long season.

Dammit Bessie, I though we were gonna keep it civil this season and off you go being a jinx right off the get go....back under your bridge!

Tee hee!


Wife won’t lemme go chase elk tonight.

I need entertainment.

Well....even though you got terrible confusion and bad taste for hockey....i really hope you get that elk in the fridge bud.

My hunting partner, and die hard oiler fan, is bringing me some elk tonight from a nice 5x5 he got, and when my moose is done he's getting half. Some things transcend hockey...:lol:


But! At least I got him trained to drink a real drink! He's properly converted to scotch Whisky, none of that crown business for him, so there is hope for him...

Well, it will be a nice change from watching the Oilers, the Flames are playing tonigh.

Hmmmmm
 

Go downstairs..... tape and mud a bedroom... or watch pouting Johnny G and his clown possee.....

Tough choice... never did like Wednesday’s very much

Washington still high off their victory.

Elias Pettersson for the win.

And Boston still in pre-season mode.

Harmonic got beat down hard!

Canucks hit da post!!!!

Hush. Don't you have some flies to tie, or some grout to clean?

Is Johnny out of the line up? I didn't notice him out there in the 1st period.:bad_boys_20:

He's the next guy on waivers after Lazar, if he doesn't shape up...stupid contract.

Sooooooooo

Is it just me or did Brian Burke look like he was really enjoying some home cooking???

Fast game. fun to watch.
