Rittich kept the Flames in it as I thought as the game went on, the Oilers were the better team. A couple of inches the other way and they win with the 2 posts in the shoot out. Rittich acting like he just made the cup winning save was a bit much considering he got burned badly twice in a row and the post saves his ass was a little much.
"Classy" Gio sticking the knee out on McDavid. Just like him taking his feet out last year, I am sure he didn't mean t do it.
He's not a big impact player but I was pretty disappointed in Khaira. For a guy who's give a damn is in big time question and you have sat out the last 3 games. I thought coming into a divisional game, with a provincial opponent, given all the hype and from the drop of the puck, to my surprise it was an emotion, physical game, I expected Khaira to be somewhat noticeable. Guys are running around hitting everything, hell McDavid even hit guys. Gagner was catapulting himself into guys. Nuge of all people, 184lbs soaking wet Nuge who's Khaira's buddy is squaring up for a fight right in front of the Oilers bench and they weren't hand fighting, they were trying to throw BOMBS especially Nuge. Then Tkachuk picked a fight with Kassian. Rinaldo is screaming at Kassian that he is next up to fight.
If EVER there is a game that should have gotten Khaira fired up and want to show everyone he gives a damn it should have been that game. I expected him to be running around hitting everything that moves. You have Rinaldo dying to fight, go pick a fight. He's not out of your weight class what so ever. THEN Gio sticks out the knee on McDavid. Next shift, GO after him!! Show your team you care. He's should be fighting for his job, show a pulse.

No one should ever fight Rinaldo. The Oilers are literally better off with him on the ice.
I thought Khaira was quite good. He was physical and he came in for his teammates when scrums started. No issue at all with his game. As mentioned, he even took a run at the biggest Flames player on the ice. I don't need him to fight in order to give him a thumbs up on the night.
Giordano - I'm curious if the league does anything. I expect they won't but they really should. It's literally the same play the same disciplinarian suspended him for last year.

Listening to Strudwick this morning talk about Khaira, he would disagree with you as would I. Archibald who is tiny has 7 hits and some were big ones. Nuge doesn't touch anyone and had 1 hit and a fight. Yamamoto who's a borderline little person had a hit, Gagner had 2.
Khaira is 6'4, 212, is a bottom 6 guy who's in the league because he's big, can skate a little and supposedly plays with an edge. He's not in the league to score goals. I expected him to be running around. I definitely expected him to be running around hitting everything that moves and stirring the pot after sitting for 3 straight games, this not being the first time he's been scratched, playing in an emotional game when his NHL career is hanging in the balance and his passion and commitment level is being called into question. He had 3 hits, OK. Was he seriously noticeable? I watched the whole game and I sure didn't think he stood out. I noticed Gagner. I sure noticed Nuge. I sure as heck noticed Archibald. Chiasson scored a goal, had a few hits and was mixing it up with Rittich. Yamamoto was very noticeable. What did Khaira, a guy fighting for his job do other than not give up a 5 start give away?
For Gio. With Parros head of discipline in the house and Walkom head of officiating in the house. Given the fact last year whether he "didn't mean to" hurt" McDavid. When you take a guys legs out when they are going full speed causing them to lose all ability to control yourself or stop yourself and you are at the mercy of whatever you ram into. Something bad will happen and something bad did happen. Then last night he fires out the knee as he's getting burnt in an effort to take out McDavid's leg. When you do that and make contact, something bad usually happens and the fact he's done that before several times to other guys, you'd think they would at least talk to Gio. But I highly doubt it.
Gio is a prominent player so he gets a free pass at being cheat.
