It’s baffling to me how little Flames fans still understand Lucic’s contract. It doesn’t matter if I’m talking to friends and co-workers they all try justifying the trade and I keep reiterating that just not having Lucic’s contract on the Oilers books is a win regardless.

Head over the CP. Tons of posters calling for Ward to send Lucic down. These morons don't even understand how a NMC works.

Along with countless posts calling for Treliving’s head for the soft/gutless team he’s assembled and demands of trading everyone not named Tkachuk, Lindholm, Giordano or Andersson.

I seriously don’t get the Flames love for this Rasmus Andersson guy. I’ve watched probably a dozen Flames games this year, outside BoA’s, as a hockey fan and though I admittedly watch with SOME bias, I don’t see anything that this guy brings on the ice to make me think he’s anything more than a 3rd pair plug. They extended him for 6 years at 4.5AAV and while Brodie and Hamonic both come off the books for them this summer, barring extensions, the clear plan is that he will be one of their top 3 dmen. As an Oilers fan, I like it. 97 and 29 will be able to expose this pretender for years.

50/50 shot if we play 2 games under .500 the rest of the way.



Perennial Oilers doubter analytics guy on theathletic has his model giving us an 84% shot now



Start of the year based purely off our roster our odds were barely over 20%. Dipped under 20% after the horrid December we had. Thinking Yamamoto's small career sample size gave us a boost in his model.

Sure would have been nice if the season series wasn't completely in the favor of the Flamers, but if they only could win one game, this was the game to do it in. Good goals, good fights, and beating the living hell out of them in their own arena in front of the knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers they call fans while leap-frogging them in the standings and still having a game at hand. Not bad for a night's work.... P.S.: The only things keeping this from being a perfect game were Gio and Tkachuk remaining self-ambulatory at the end...

I really feel that this game as a response to the past two games against the Flames, is well embodied by this meme:

Absolutely loved that game!

Oilers were the better team on Wednesday, Rittich played well and got bailed out by his posts twice. He disrespected the Oilers and especially Leon. They and Leon filed it away and boot stomped the Flames on their home ice. They beat the crap out of them on the score sheet and even won most of the fights. I didn't see the Khaira fight. I thought Bear handled himself extremely well against a bigger Tkachuk and to me took the decision. Smith beat up Talbot.

Lucic. Enjoy Calgary. Enjoy.

Hey - Jim Matheson tweeted that Russell is very valuable to this team and you wouldn't find any of his teammates who'd say a bad word about him! If Ol' Jim likes him, who are we to say anything different? If he's making 2 mill in and in your 3rd pairing, it's not a big deal to have him on the team. At 4 mill cap hit, he makes too much. Even at $2MM, it's pretty ugly when he's the 7th best defenceman on the roster. The coach has been playing a raw rookie on his off-side because he trusts him more to play the right than Kris Russell...that's damning. Here's praying there's someone who loves shot blocking who'll take him this summer. Are you making your comments on Russell objectively or does your dislike of Russell play a factor? You haven't been a fan of his for a very long time. I am not a Russell lover what so ever. The Oilers for a while lacked NHL dmen, while not ideal, he filled a void. He wasn't amazing but adequate for the most part. Now that the have strengthened their defense and seemingly have more coming, I've been saying it a long time now that they need to get rid of him. But in saying that, I have a hard time believing he'd be a #7 dman on very many teams in this league, he'd be playing. I'm pretty objective - the reasons I don't like Russell aren't personal. He's not a good puck distributor, he struggles to advance the puck and he gives up the blueline too easily. Doesn't really matter if he'd be the 7th best defencemen on other teams. While I think that's likely where he'd slot in with many, that's where we're at here. Bear passed him, Benning passed him and I think Jones is passing him. I also don't think it's a coincidence that Jones scored and has looked better the last couple games - he's finally playing on his correct side, so he's more comfortable. That leaves Russell at #7, with a slim lead on Bouchard and Lagesson. The sooner we can move him the better, because if he's a healthy scratch here, it's going to hurt his already fading marketability, but at the same time you can't ask the coach to slot him in if he's not the best option.

Trust me, I'm objective.

Also didn't see the Khaira fight, but heard he labelled Big Buddy with a punch and got the decision.

I do with that Nurse had pummelled Giordano. Thought he got off a little easy, although hopefully a couple of Gagner's punches landed. Apparently Gagner's been burning to give Giordano a little chin music for a long time - Stauffer tweeted that Giordano was giving facewashes to him when he was coming back from his broken jaw. Just the worst.
