DirtyDeeds Posted October 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 The Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers renew their Battle of Alberta rivalry on Saturday night when the two teams play for the second time in the span of two weeks. The reigning Pacific Division-champion Flames won the first meeting, 4-3, in Edmonton on Oct. 15, jumping out to a 4-1 lead in the first 10:18 and then withstanding an Oiler third-period comeback that featured two goals, including one by Connor McDavid. Backup goaltender Dan Vladar made 26 saves, including a pair in the final seconds during a goalmouth scramble to seal the win. The Flames, in the midst of an eight-game homestand, will be playing their second game over a seven-day span and will be coming in off a four-day break following an impressive 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Nazem Kadri scored twice and Jacob Markstrom turned aside 32 shots. Calgary and Edmonton enter the contest tied for second in the Pacific with 10 points behind the Vegas Golden Knights. However, due to a strange scheduling quirk, the Flames have played a Pacific Division-low six games so far this season -- three fewer than Vegas (after it hosts Anaheim on Friday), and two fewer than Edmonton -- and are in the middle of a stretch of two games in nine days. "It's different for sure," Flames defenseman Noah Hanifin said. "I think that's been the story since the beginning of the season for us. We've had a little bit of a different schedule. We haven't played too many games in a row, so sometimes it's hard to get into that rhythm and flow." Still, Calgary has won five of its six games, including two in a row. The Flames claimed victories over defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado, the road win over an Edmonton team that knocked them out of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs in five games last season, and home wins over Vegas and Carolina. Calgary's lone loss was to Buffalo, 6-3, on Oct. 20. "Obviously we'll take where we are right now," Hanifin said. "We're in a pretty good spot. We just want to close out this month on a strong note. And get ready for November when we'll be on the road a lot more (nine games). We'll have to be prepared for that." Edmonton will be playing its third road contest in four nights. The Oilers won at St. Louis, 3-1, on Wednesday and followed that up with a wild 6-5 victory at Chicago on Thursday. McDavid finished with four points, including his second hat trick of the season and Leon Draisaitl celebrated his 27th birthday with the game-winning goal with 37.6 seconds to go. "That's the best present (I've ever) got," Draisaitl said after his fourth goal of the season on a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle off a Evander Kane crossing pass. Edmonton was called for 11 penalties against Chicago but managed to kill off eight of 10 power plays. Meanwhile, the Oilers converted three of their seven power-play chances. "Not the way you draw it up, obviously, but it's a big two points and I'll leave it at that because there's nothing else that needs to be said," Draisaitl added. "There was no rhythm in the game for either team. I don't know what else to say. It was a crazy game." Expect more of the same Saturday night in Calgary, according to Markstrom. The Flames won the playoff opener, 9-6, last season and the winning team scored at least five goals in four of the five contests. "It is going to be fun," Markstrom said. "When you look at the history and the type of games playing against those guys, it's been a lot of action back and forth. It's going to be a lot of fun and I don't expect anything different Saturday." --Field Level Media Should be a Thriller 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Deedsy, my man. Missed your GDT's last year. Props to RocketDoc for taking the time to keep us in games last year. He was responsible for 99% of them. Go Flames Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Rest vs Rust tonight. Calgary's rested. Edmonton's in playing their 3rd in 4 days. I'd start Markstrom. I think it's important to get him in against EDM. Wonder if EDM goes with Skinner tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medatswhoP Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Kudos to both DD and RocDoc in all the GDT's they are a work of art and I love looking at them pre-games. Flames on a lull with not many games close together could be havoc early I feel in tonight's game, but on the other hand the greasers may be a bit tired being on the road this week. Either way I think were going to sneak past them again with another win tonight, cant wait to mix some "Old Fashions" and sip some good bourbon and watch this on my giant 106" screen its going to be a good battle. Let's go Flames! 4 pt. night again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Markstrom confirmed in net. Not sure about the Stink. Campbell has been letting in a ton. Skinner has a better GAA and SA%. But this is an important game, so do ya go with the backup? What does that say to the starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted October 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Thanks RD, TD all for the kind words.. It is my pleasure to do a GDT. Many many years ago Pyro chatted with me and asked if I wanted to do a GDT.... I said no I am fine with you and your animated deamons casting fire spells and shooting fireballs with your GDT. Shortly after he asked me again and said he would help me.. Gave me links to some websites with content that would help.. like Jersey database that has all teams jerseys with names and numbers on each jersey. It was horrible to piece each jersey into a web post to show who the lineups but I did it because it was nicer than just a list of names and the 4 lines and the defensive pairings. Then goalies. Daily faceoff simplified the line combinations with the jersey's so all you needed was a couple of of screen captures and some sizing. I did The GDT's for a couple of years and my oilfied work made it difficult.. Some members ;like Travel and Carty stepped up and filled in those threads I couldn't. Carty stepped up when my time and computer access completely disappeared and when misfortune for him happened then rocketdoctor stepped in. My point is this board has a fine history of GDT creators that spans well over a couple of decades. Each deserves a round of applause and your thanks / likes every game. It is a labour of love to do GDT's and a bit of thanks is welcomed. Also I would like to ask some regular posters to consider doing a GDT now and then. It does not take much time and we need to keep the tradition alive..... Consider it... Thanks DD Gary Go Flames!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
