GDT - Oilers @ Flames - December 27, 2022 - 7:00PM MDT Start - A Deeds/Saymzies Collaboration

[Thebrewcrew]

The game has opened up.

 

Flames need to avoid trading chances. In case they haven't learned their lesson

[conundrumed]

Calgary needs to tighten it up and keep it boring.

I liked the first. Good jump, good pace and liked that Calgary is upping their pace. 
 

im not a big believer he flames need to turn every game into a slog fest to win. Obviously be aware of McDavid on the ice but outside of him the flames can skate with the oilers. You gotta put pressure on their d.

Not every game, just vs the Oilers. The Oilers want a wide open game. We don't.

Woohoo

[conundrumed]

Good patient pressure and bingo!!

[conundrumed]

Woohoo we got it out of our zone after we scored a goal.

[travel_dude]

The first was mostly Flames.

A few broken plays and the PP was the only real pressure.

[travel_dude]

Weak call.  Typical MO for the Oilers.

Get a goal, get a gift call.

[travel_dude]

They miss every other "slash" it seems.

[travel_dude]

Mike Smith launch save there

[Thebrewcrew]

Great job by Markstrom

[conundrumed]

Massive saves by Marky.

[travel_dude]

Slow the play down a bit.

[Thebrewcrew]

Need something on this powerplay

Need to guard the line.

They use McD on the PK and you know he is cheating to the line.

[Thebrewcrew]

I think Ruzicka didn't shoot, because it wouldn't have counted..

[travel_dude]

Poor CMD. he faced a clean check.

[travel_dude]

Safe shot by Looch, but there was a way better option.

[travel_dude]

Oilers a much less dangerous team without Kane.

Still have 2 players that can expose a weak play.

But we should be able to win this if we play the way we did in the first 40.

Stay out of the box, since the Oilers tend to get PP's for no good reason.

We have to put pressure on them to take penalties, assuming they call them for it.

[Thebrewcrew]

Been the best BOA of the season.

 

Now find a way to win it in the final 20

I quite like the game from the flames. Story is just similar that they arnt putting the puck in the net. 
 

skinner has been good but between posts and misses the flames need to do a better job of capitalizing

Too many shots missing the net for my liking.

I can live with the posties, but we aren't getting lucky with the deflections out.

Refs again
