There was a quote from some Islanders rookie who tagged him and Messier spent the entire game chasing him around before elbowing him stupid can't have Messier chat without him murdering Modano (helper to the paramedics at the end) Holly crap....the hit and then the paramedics at the end.....just wow. | ||

I was the lone flames fan watching the game with 2 oilers fans and 3 bandwagon jumpers. I took so much abuse for 56.30. How the oilers new dynasty had started and the flames could enjoy perhaps being the second best in the west and blah blah blah. They really gave it to me as hard as they could (as I would have in the opposite situation) But then my salvation came. The game turned on the dime and there egos shrank dramatically. That 3 minutes was as glorious as I could have watched as I got to swap from taking a pound to delivering death blows about winning the off season isn't the same as winning the cup. I know many of you disagree but for me, it was a great night! | ||

I know many of you disagree but for me, it was a great night! sorry you had to deal with asshole fans. I'd hope that after a decade of failure people would have some perspective. I find both Flames and Oilers fans to be, on the whole, pretty classy. I get friendly ribbing when I attend a game in Calgary but it's all in good fun. We can still sit there and talk hockey and bitch about the Ducks. Kind of the opposite of Canucks fans where I'm just trying not to get sucker punched for the most part =P Now that the Oilers have had a bit of success, they are gonna have some bandwagoners who are there for said success and have learned nothing from the futility of which they didn't take part. Those guys will be dicks. Feel free to enjoy their frustration. | ||

I took it like a champ as they gave it to me. And to be fair they did as well. I didn't mean my post as a condemnation of oilers fans. More as in sports when one is destroyed another is elated. Always the ying and yang. Unless it's decided on an awful call (I'm looking at u stars on hulls goal) when one is destroyed a and the other is sorta happy but also a little dirty | ||

I'm not sure how that's even possible but let's hope they find some way to blow it Anaheim did not show up to play this game. Edmonton has nearly every faceoff, board battle, puck race and are all over the ducks in every zone like white on rice. Also Jonathan Bernier was in net for the last three goals This is gold. + Show Spoiler + | ||

You would think that would serve as an example that time on the clock means you can win. Also looking forward to Karlssons hat trick in a 6-1 win. edit; Looking at the stands on TV....they are like half empty!!! Soooooo many left | ||

And with Alexander Ovechkin on the third line averaging around 13 min a game I feel like the capitals are incapable of hiring somebody that knows how to utilize the best pure goal scorer in modern NHL history and possibly wasted the prime of his career. | ||
