So I guess the only reasonable takeaway is that Oetter was doing even more than we thought and our offense was incredibly somehow doing even less than we thought.
GFG! Despite the score making it seem closer than it was, the Oilers got absolutely dumpstered that game because of the complete lack of a defensive game. McDavid can't outscore the entire Flames roster when they are given that many chances
Yeah, I agree Oilers bro. There were some calls that were in the "whatever" category, but it went both ways and didn't materially impact the shitshow that happened out there.
[CGY-EDM] Sportsnet tries to let the fans in Calgary take it home, but Lucic has other plans as he gets in a tussle with Kassian after multiple slashes on McLeod and a wrestling match breaks out at the penalty box. Wes calls the game at that.
It's really common when a game is 100% out of reach and it's getting out of control. No point in settling everyone down, figuring out 4 penalties, and setting back up with less than 10 seconds left with a team up by 3.
Haha time for Kassian
Man that 22 has silky smooth mitts
aa ws do
Am well two Am: s . Are .
Oettinger….
I feel both teams played pretty terrible. It's hard to say much else about this one.
Markstrom had a rough night but I really don’t understand people thinking the flames “played bad”
Well then....
Oilers should’ve have kicked the extra point. But their defense let the Flames march down the ice and get the winning field goal.
So I guess the only reasonable takeaway is that Oetter was doing even more than we thought and our offense was incredibly somehow doing even less than we thought.
I feel the same!
wild ass game, so much so people are forgetting the silver lining of 5-1 lead being blown lol
Because that doesn't matter
Lol ya I think we’ll be fine as long as we stop turning the puck over. I think flames fans should be worried that they allowed it to be tied up lol
I was here!
Im surprised sutter didn’t have a heart attack on national tv
My goodness, can we just watch these two go at it for 4 rounds? This was simultaneously beautiful and ugly hockey. Please go 7.
This is one entertaining series! Hope it continues to be this high scoring.
Didn't catch the game but did both teams play with the nets empty?
Laid down and turned the nets around to face the end boards because there were no goalies
What the hell?
Dear lord I bet whoever wins the other series can't wait to go against either if these teams. Horrific.
Uhhh… or these two teams feel confident they can score on anyone? It goes both ways.
All these years of hearing his name during highlights... I thought it was TYLER Yamamoto 🤭
Is it not??

Flames outplayed the Oilers in every facet other than goaltending, in which they both sucked. We'll see how Game 2 goes.
[удалено]
Bummed nobody fought. Thought it was heading to overtime where the goalies would throw shutouts for 2 periods or something. Crazy game.

Holy shit, did not expect a score like this. And then, come to think of it, totally reasonable score for a BoA.
Bank of America
I personally predicted the score right on, even got the goal scorers right
69
Nice
You know every analyst is like fuck how do I not say "nice"
15 goals lmao that was insane
What the fuck was that?
Top 10 highest scoring playoff game all time. Calgary and Edmonton both feature at 2 other points on this list each, all of them against LA.
I turned it off at 5-1....fuck
Why lmao ? It’s playoffs
6 goals on 28 shots. Just needed some goaltending.
From who? Goaltending from all 3 parties was shit tonight.
Chatterstats - Final
Tkachuk caps hat trick
I was hoping for 9-9 OT.
On a plane and just landed. Did I miss anything?
Nope, was just two touchdowns and a field goal.
Nah…not much
I miss goaltending
Never heard of her
What's that? Never seen it in my life
Wow, that crowd left quick.
Lots of people from Edmonton need to make the drive back.
It's a weeknight. 80% of fans there are O&G employees that can afford those tickets.
Need to get more beers
The Red Mile calls
Lmao.
Gassed out goalies can only be good for our guys next round, eh? ;)
Now THIS was an amazing game to watch as a neutral-ish fan (except I do love Coleman n Tkachuk so)
I concur
These ESPN mfs clearly have never watched a game of hockey in their life.
Definitely have a second job
MATTY HATTY
So... Was this thread the highest most commented post in
Is that actually true?
...so far!
Went back and watched the ending. There was literally no action for like 30 seconds, and then Lucic's like "eh, fuck it" and started slashing a guy.
Meanwhile:
GFG! Despite the score making it seem closer than it was, the Oilers got absolutely dumpstered that game because of the complete lack of a defensive game. McDavid can't outscore the entire Flames roster when they are given that many chances
Narrator: He did
Markstrom the sieve is going to be a liability
Both teams were trash tonight and both teams will get absolutely steamrolled in the next round if their game is anywhere close to this.
Is this a
You guys blew a 5-1 lead with us playing godawfully bad, but sure, “the score makes it look closer than it was” 🤡
Look on the bright side, the reffing wasn’t absolute shit this game
Yeah, I agree Oilers bro. There were some calls that were in the "whatever" category, but it went both ways and didn't materially impact the shitshow that happened out there.
WTF happened here.
That good sir is called a pure unadulterated Barn burner and it was glorious
Pure, unedited Battle of Alberta chaos.
Oilers defence bad. Oilers goalies bad. Oilers powerplay bad. McDavid good. Markstrom really bad.
May the next game also lack goalies and defense. Just goons, hits, and goals. Ride the vibes. 🥰
Calgary defeats the Edmonton mcdavids
Well that was fun! Sucks I gotta miss the next two games, but May long camping calls!
I di t May Long camp anymore without a trailer. And I do not have a trailer lol.
same, camping with friends in the rain takes priority over this....I guess..
Was there another game in between or have the Flames scored 18 goals in their last two games against the Oilers?
Last one was 9-5
You'd be correct!
GG, fuck you but GG
Been awhile since I watched the Flames, do they not have a C?
They all have Cs
Since Gio went to the Kraken at beginning of the season - No Captain named. Yet.
Nope, not this year
Not since Gio got taken by Seattle to be their C.
Not since Giordano left.
Nope
Yeah they got a real big one on the middle of their jersey
Edmonton scoring 6 goals on a Vezina finalist and still losing is just... i don't know. Embarrassing isn't strong enough.
imagine being a vezina finalist and allowing six!
Did we watch the same game? Apparently not.
Now watch the next game be 2-1 OT
1-0 OT, for the next 6 games.
69... Nice
just wait for next game when it's 42-0
Well that was fun as a neutral fan
Time to pick a side brother
Yes! So many goals
I was really hoping for OT
GG deadmonton, thanks for whatever the hell that was
Colorado must be excited.
They're gonna devour whoever comes out of this
Total gongshow ugh, gg oilers
Neutral fans of hockey just got the most entertaining game of hockey all season
If you had watched our last game.... this one was not a surprise.
GG Oilers
Lucic was down on his knee and mcloed took a run at him. But everyone here wants to call him the goon. Watch the game you losers
Do you really think Lucic's gonna get the benefit of the doubt here?
When? All Mcleod did was go digging for the puck, Lucic responded by hacking his ankles.
Gg fellow albertans. I still love you guys.
Aww ❤️
[CGY-EDM] Sportsnet tries to let the fans in Calgary take it home, but Lucic has other plans as he gets in a tussle with Kassian after multiple slashes on McLeod and a wrestling match breaks out at the penalty box. Wes calls the game at that.
Well that game was gross
yeah if you lost
ESPN announcer: "Kassian fell down before the gloves could come off."
Tkachuk is such a weasel. He'll talk shit all game but never actually drop the gloves.
Kane is such a weasel. He talks shit all game and then goes and beats his girlfriend.
Kane is such a weasel. He'll talk shit all game but never actually drop the gloves.
He'd rather drop hats
Scored 3 though, that's not bad
Lol cope harder why don’t ya
Talks shit and scores 3 on you... drops the hats tho
3
A weasel with a Hatty tonight. 🤷♂️
Except when he does.
Move over 2012 Flyers Penguins series (maybe).
So far, the vibes say this is gonna be worse.
Did anybody see Nurse tonight? oof
[удалено]
Imagine paying that guy 9.5 next year and don't even play him at the end of the game net pulled
Well that was a mess. See you Friday everyone
Kassian is such a loser haha
Seriously. He’s been a ghost in Edmonton since he signed his contract.
What a muppet.
GG FLAMES WELCOME TO THE 80'S AGAIN. LOOKING FORWARD TO .39/LITRE GAS PRICES
Lucic is just the worst
GGs flamebros, we suck ass you guys deserve to win the series unless our boys wake up
GGs, McDavid is one dangerous man
hockey
Kassian thought Lucic was gonna drop them and tried to get the jump on him, instead he got a facefull midair
Douchey slashes by Looch there
It fits his personality
Gg oilers I am terrified for the rest of this series yet wildly excited
Me too. Glad I haven't really seen the toxicity I was expecting... yet.
Complete disgrace of a playoff game and I loved every single moment of it!
Final shots and goals map
Well, that was a journey.
Oilers fans: Holy fuck have we got a good week or two coming up. See you all Friday 🍻
What a wacky game.
I didn't think my reaction to my team losing a playoff game to a rival would be to just laugh, but that game was ridiculous.
Lucic is so slow and clumsy. Lol.
Lucic: The Bruins player who's gonna be forever remembered as the guy trying to escape Laraque at all cost.
Like a battleship
This series is going to be awesome
Lmao Kassian bounced off of Lucic.
Kassian crawled out of his cave and remembered he gets paid to play hockey on occasion
After the game was over. Super helpful.
Looch dumped kassian 😂
For both fanbases
Kassian got dropped but you can't really blame him for jumping in when Lucic is taking garbage time lumberjack chops at ankles.
archibald being a fuckin ho trying to grab backlunds legs there
Great fuckin game Alberta be crazy
I'm generally ok with how NHL contracts work, but the longer I watch McDavid die the more I wish players had more ways to escape.
Only two games ago he said "4 goals should be enough to win games, we need to do better"... and now it's 6, and he had 4 pts...
4 more years and he can be free if he wants.
This series is gonna be amazing
i like how they end the broadcast with soft disco music after this game we just had lmao
I was literally thinking the same thing it was so weird lol
Has a game ever been called over before the clock timed out???
It's really common when a game is 100% out of reach and it's getting out of control. No point in settling everyone down, figuring out 4 penalties, and setting back up with less than 10 seconds left with a team up by 3.
Quite often. In the regular season at least. Not sure about the playoffs, but I'd think it has.
Well hopefully this sets the tone for the series lol
GG Flames. You won this battle, but you won't win the... battle?
Yes quid pro ro
The war
Maybe they meant "We want 10 (PIMs)"
Well if you can’t beat em get beat up by em I guess.
Lmao Kassian got leveled
Markstrom needs a Snickers
Lucic is a bitch
