Great all around game by the flamesDespite the competition they still did the things they needed to do to win on the road bring the same effort tommorrow its another win Horrible job by jim/craig.. usually at least one of you can play devils advocate...
Edmonton is flat out terrible. We complain about the Flames transition game sucking well the Oilers make approximately three clean outlet passes tonight. It hurts not having Souray and Pitkanen but holy crap they were horrendous getting out of their zone. A win is a win though. Obviously the new Lombardi line was outstanding but I still thought Iginla completely dominated the game tonight even though he only got one point.

Maclean providing some contrasting opinion to the CBC Kool-aid brigade. Gives it to the Oilers for spending piles on facility and cheaping out on Ryan Smyth... and going a full season past Prongergate and failing to address the holes in their lineup. I like Maclean.

On a side note favourite CP whipping boys Aucoin and Eriksson both had very steady games tonight. And I'm loving the Regehr/Sarich pairing.
Best quote of the year by MacLean - "The Oilers spend 4 million on their dressing room but let Smyth walk for a hundred grand". Gold!
Wow the Oilers are bad. The Oilers are lucky that wasn't 10-0. The last time I've seen a team this bad was Team Canada playing Belerus or Kazakstan in the WJC. Lombardi. Nolan. Nystrom were great. Lombardi with some fancy plays and moves and setups. Nolan seems to really pull up his socks against the Oilers. Nystrom made a great play by taking a hit to make a play on the 2nd goal. Conroy is the best PKer on our PP unit. Stortini is useless. Gotta laugh at him. And the broadcasting brutal.
Our first and second round draft picks both suspended at the beginning of the season. Nice...
Nolan took control of this game. Any posters questioning why he was brought in got their answer tonight. Sure Amonte or Friesen would chip in but none of them took a game by the horns with a rookie and an excellent future player.

And it's hard to argue with that point. Of course renovations don't count toward the salary cap but it's still hard to understand how the Oilers could let Smyth walk away when he clearly wanted to play there.

With the shots the way they were tonight it's a crime for Garon to not get a star. Other than that the Oilers are terrible.
God the entire CBC broadcast was awful. The camera work the commentating.. just awful.
How can that be! it included the best pbp guy in the business Jim "Great Saaaaaaaaaaave Luongo" Hughson

True. Aucoin didn't really stand out to me (certainly didn't have a bad game) but Sarich and Eriksson I was both really impressed with. Very good active sticks and solid positioning by the whole core.
He did make that one mistake where he dropped his stick so I'm sure we'll hear about how horrible he is as usual.
Conroy just said that Iggy told him to loosen up and have fun. Great game by the flames even with all the Oylaz unlucky bounces. All of the CP whipping boys seemed to have pretty good games. Flames were getting their sticks in the right places a lot of the time breaking up passes taking the puck from Oilers players. Iggy didn't score but he was a beast out there.
