Yet another boneheaded move by Chiarelli for the Oilers, he's on a roll right now. Normally i'd be laughing or at least grinning at our arch rival's expense, but this might affect us. Maybe. Koskinen was signed by the Oilers today for an AAV of $4.5M. Koskinen's a decent goalie, but not a $4.5M...

We're at that point where - barring some absolutely monstrous collapse - we can talk not about if we get into the playoffs, but when. If the mark is ~90 points, we basically have to win 13 more games this season to clinch. Yeah. As long as we win a about a third of the remaining games, we're in...

Another win baby!! The boys have now won 4 straight and have 10 of a possible 12 points in 2019 so far. I have to say, we've not really played our best hockey for that stretch at all. Defense has lacked, some iffy goals have gone in, several turnovers in our own zone, and though Big Save Dave...

I was at the San Jose game, best game I've ever been to. Lots of people wanted Bennett's head after that hit, looked clean to me maybe a tiny bit late. What bugs me is that Dell got nothing for that vicious two-handed lumberjack spear on Bennett's midsection. Bennett didn't have the puck, wasn't...

That's more like it! Flames beat Winnipeg 4-1, we're 1 point shy of best in the west yet again. Johnny deserved that hatty, played great, it's crazy he's only had 4 so far. Shame he had to get slashed hard in the process. Another great win, Rittich is other-worldly. If anyone had any doubts...

Flames have not been great in the last 3. Only 5 goals in 3 games, and grabbing 1 point out of a possible 6. What's worse is that the two losses are against mediocre western teams - meaning they're games we should've won, and needed to win to stay ahead. I will say the Tampa game was a solid...

Giordano suspended for 2 games for a knee-on-knee hit on Mikko Koivu. I don't like it. I don't see a deliberate extension of the knee with the intention of injuring Koivu. I see him trying to block that space, and trying to move towards the boards to cut Koivu off from a free zone entry...

WOW. What a game. I nearly shut my TV off after we got down 1-4, figured I had a better way to spend my time. Thank the lord I kept watching. In a monstrous game goalies and coaches will hate but fans and goalscorers will love, we beat a pretty good team 9-6. Flames now have more 5-goal periods...

I absolutely love that design, I hope the cheapening doesn't occur with this one. Awesome how much really solid architecure we've gotten here recently, can't wait to see this one happen. This plus the arena in that area in the next ~10 ish years will totally change that area

Totally agree. Substantial difference between this year and last year. Last year, if we got a lead we'd have a hard time keeping it, and if we fell behind we'd have a hard time catching up. This year, we're 5th in 1st period scoring and 1st in 3rd period scoring, showing we can both come out of...

Another big win for the Flames and for Smitty! He could've had a goal this game if the refs weren't so damn quick to blow the whistle for no reason. Oh well, nice to win vs division rivals, even though right now the Kings don't look like they'll contend for anything other than Jack Hughes. We...

Two straight games scoring 5 goals in the first period ... that's a rarity. I wasn't overly surprised vs Vegas, they haven't been great this year, it was their backup, on the end of a back-to-back, etc. But vs Winnipeg surprised me. Glad to see some secondary scoring get in there...

Fantastic game, was funny watching all the salty Oilers fans after the game calling Tkachuk a plethora of names for not fighting Kassian. Tkachuk's tied for 1st in team scoring with 21 points, and at the time of that incident he was alone in 1st. Meanwhile Kassian has 1 goal in 17 games, he's a...

I'm still baffled they think they need a 5000 seat arena. What will that support afterwards? Roughnecks and Hitmen both have average attendance of over 10,000. Only other team we have that would fit a 5000 seat venue well might be Cavalry FC, but I doubt that will happen, they're already set to...

We're 19.5% through the season, (I'll round it to 20%) and Smith still looks frighteningly bad. His fiery competitiveness that he's known for, I have not seen. He seems defeated and deflated, like he's in his own head too much. Trying way too hard, thinking way too much, too focused on making...

Yeah, that was a total stinker. Everyone who went to that game deserves a refund. Hopefully they'll wake up now. Imo, I think they should've woken up when they allowed 80+ shots in 2 games vs NYR and MTL. Tkachuk spoke up, said exactly what I was thinking, and I thought they'd move forward from...

Personally, I don't mind that as much as stuff like this: https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0465636,-114.0638846,3a,75y,221.3h,94.09t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sH02MJ9CM-nJN4MvzU8zn5w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 And the bigger problem is, thousands of people walk past this every day. Thousands of tourists too, all...

Fun game last night vs Boston. Got off to a really fast start, 3 goals in the first period. Frolik, coming off being a healthy scratch, had 2 goals, happy for him, seems like a nice guy. I'm still agitated seeing Neal on the 3rd line, but if the 3M line plays every game like they did this one...

Got back from vacation finally :) Smith's had a history of playing unbelievably badly right after a shutout. His game in Nashville was spectacular, and I too, was confident he'd get a well-deserved rest against STL. Instead he rewarded with yet another start. As history would tell you, that...
