Another vote for the Canucks...

I like the way you think but Canucks blew it!

Now I hate Dallas and don’t like the Oilers so decision is based on hate and don’t like?

First game against Dallas should be a good indicator of how the series will go. Dallas is a different team for sure. On paper they should steam roll the Oilers but you never know. Who ever thought Buster Douglas would beat Mike Tyson., not me.

No games have ever been decided on paper

Calgary rival, wasted multiple 1st round picks, wasting McDavid, GM is typically a goofball (Hall for Larsson, $9.25M for Nurse, $5M for Campbell, think you'll be paying James Neal and Brown $5M next season, etc.), and for every Ryan/Hyman/Nuge there is a Draisaitl/Kane/Perry....

lol The Flames management hasn’t exactly been stellar either. Sutter’s last go around cost them dearly when he drove off your star players and then they had buy him out as well. Then they panic signed Huberdidn’t. How much are they paying him and Kantri?

McDavid wasted? He is still in his prime.And they are in the hunt still last time I looked.
Lots of great players never get a cup , was Iginla wasted by the Flames? He never got a cup.

I would say Ryan/ Hyman/ Nuge/ Draisaitl/Kane and Perry have worked out pretty well o far. 🙂
Nurse? Ya he can go to the Flames, Cambell? Well he hasn’t earned his paycheck either.

Vancouver played a very strange game. Any fan watching would probably fall off the couch screaming “Shoot the puck!” Speed wasn’t there. Shoot the pack in and roll, but no. 30 seconds left on the clock while trailing by one goal, but the guy hardly moves to get the pack, then waits for others to skate back. But yeah, with Skinner in the net, just shoot the freaking pack and it evetually go in.

Silovs made a couple of epic saves. Oilers played a good game, for the most part. Someone will get seriously hurt blocking all those shots though because there is no trust in the goaltender.

The old “ waisting mcdavid” line. Oh boy.

I understand there is a lot of oiler haters but you could say every team is waisting their players if that’s the bar you have set.

I feel that's a valid argument if you feel McDavid and, let's say Mangiapane, are equivalent.

I'd be impressed if you could name a better player that hadn't won a cup within 5 years of entering the league, let alone nine..... McDavid is far and away the best player to have ever played that hasn't won it. If you guys are good with Hart Trophy's, all the power to you!

Ahhh, you slipped up, now you're just posting stuff to get me riled up! Perry has worked out pretty well so far!?!

He's tied for 261st in points this playoff run and was healthy scratched last game. Think he'll play another game this spring?

Well you can write the book “ waisting mcdavid” might be a best seller. Follow it up by “Good bye to chuckie, Monney, Johnny and Gio, A Calgary flames success story”

Ha ha. All in fun!

Nice to see that the Oilers success in this years playoffs, has given the diehard flames fans lots to chirp about. When was the last post on that flames thread...February maybe?
