Oilers flumoxed now. Don't like playing behind.

Good thing that puck was rolling, otherwise he hits the crest.

Baclund with two finishers and he gets the goal. Like the new line: Mane-Baclund-Toffee

Stage 3 Complete. Begin Stage 4. Mangiapane with Backlund. Who would have thought....

Just like that. Backlund doesn't miss.

Jarny with his first as a Flame. Probably want to review. Oops, Tanev

Dube on the boards not a good story. Guy needs open ice.

Come on Johnny, easy giveaway.

Darn post

Have to keep the shifts short and the play slower. Don't have the gas to play end to end. Kostco can be beaten easily, he's not looking comfortable.

Funny, I saw it hit the glass first.

At least they aren't calling ticky tack penalties. We survived the early push. Now take the game over. Their D are easy to exploit.

Stage 1 complete. Begin Stage 2.

Lindholm goal, but they will probably call for a review

No call on the trip on Dube

Stop passing it....

Koskinen with an early shutout.

Slow the game down.

Okay, so shutout talk meaningless now.

Poor start. Another weird goal.

Warm up jerseys:

The Oilers are not as good on the PP as they were earlier in the season. Very predictable. Draisaitl on the right circle, doesn't skate. McD curling around looking for a path to the net or one timer from Drai. They were better when he would be the one timer option. I am also comfortable with our PK. The only I don't like is when we allow the player walking in from the blueline about 20 feet of space. Don't respect the pass, respect the shooter. One of the keys is to score early. Get them to activate the D and penalize them for it. They don't backcheck once you hit their D-zone. Just need to watch the neutral zone.

TBH, Marky has had some issues recently. Sutter needs to get him through that crap. Sutter says he has a number of starts that Marky will make. Doesn't know when he will hit it. And would not say what it was. Maybe coincides with us clinching a playoff spot.
