Looks like flames have two first lines. If kadri’s line is already playing better than Lindholm’s and are not only generating offence, but also are fast and physical.
I am a Flames Fan: Naz, our D core as a whole, Mang and Dube, and our 4th line were real stand outs today. Also the 3rd line was quite nice, could use more from our top line 5 on 5. I would love to see Tree be aggressive on the trade block after about 20-25 games to see if we can add a top 6 winger, who can contribute to our brand of hockey: 1.) Either be a top skill player like Pasta (depending on price and availability) 2.) Am offensive threat who is Physical and can skate I had no clue Skinner was as good as he is, great game by him. Also the Oilers have a stud in Dylan Holloway, good player. GFG!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't aware that the Flames acquired Kadri. The lines seem a lot more balanced with the fourth line being able to hold off Edmonton's first late in the third.
The difference from last year is that the flames used to try to win by getting into an offensive horse race. Oilers are going to win that but I think flames are harder working this year.
@Aristoteles. Haha yeah ok. 5 Stanley cups. How many you guys got?? Oh yeah. One 😂. Oh and how about that playoff series last year? What was the result again refresh my memory please 👌👌
The force was strong with Vladar. Skinner and Hyman were the best oilers on a night where most of the team looked like walk of the living dead until the 3rd.
Let me just say that Stuart Skinner was sensational. He was breed for the Battle Of Alberta, some might say he was molded by it. And Jack Campbell don't take the blame upon yourself there was six of you out there. So buck up and LET"S GOOOOO
Or that defense. I've never seen such neglect of a (rather important) position before. They're obsessed with forwards when it's defense they need. Holland and those old prunes are dumb as bricks.
Калгари с Гостевой Победой! Эдмонтон жалко чуть чуть не хватило отыграться но не факт что Нефтяники бы выиграли в овертайме. Нефтяники все равно хороши.
The Flames practically did that without a top line. So many missed opportunities where they hesitated and didn't shoot, frustrating af to watch. Won't beat Skinner, or any other decent goaltender by hesitating like that. They need a legit top 3 RW who can bury passes cuz Toffoli ain't cutting it.
@@anthonywozniak7373 My point still stands, that second line is HARD carrying right now. They developed 'chemistry,' why hasn't the top line developed it yet? Some players don't develop chemistry no matter what you try to do. And fwiw, I don't think Lindholm is that good. That's my opinion and I know several will disagree with me. He doesn't wow me. Huberdeau wows me and I think it's unfortunate that he doesn't have anyone that can receive and bury his passes, they literally come out of nowhere.
@@jimbob6270 because Kadri and mang were built to play together. Some players styles just instantly mesh. Lindholm is playing with one of the top playmakers in the league and isn't yet used to always being ready for a pass like huberdeau is able to do. Most analysts didn't expect chemistry until atleast November. I would hardly say the second line is carrying us. The scoring is coming from more than just that. The third and 4th have been getting points too. Can't expect a guy who has been playing with the same core for the past 4 years to instantly play well with a player who plays nothing the same.. and huberdeau wows you because he is one of the top playmakers in the league.. to compare him to anyone is unfair.
These two teams are always so fun to watch. Oilers defense is bad, though. I don't understand why it hasn't improved, it's been forever with this team with just terrible defense.
miss play by woodcroft, sutter knew better than to demoralize his starter goalie early with a potential loss. let them meet later in the season with more confidence. now we got a shakey cambell going into the potential series
This spotting the other team a multi-goal lead over two periods is not going to work out well in the long run. Waiting for the 3rd round of the playoffs to get here is not a winning strategy.
As a flames fan, it’s great to see such a strong start against two phenomenal teams. My only concern is that we’re back to where we were three seasons ago where we didn’t have a true 1st line forward on the RW. Don’t get me wrong, Toffoli is a great hockey player, but he isn’t quite up to the level of Huberdeau and Lindholm. I predict that if that line combination doesn’t work out over the next 10 games, we’ll see Lindholm moved back to RW and Kadri moved up to 1st C.
@@MrDJS444 _OR_ hear me out, Treliving works some more magic and goes out & gets this highly coveted 1st line RW'er. Question is, who can he get? They need a pure goal scorer, not a playmaker.
@@MrDJS444 your not breaking up the mang- kadri- dube line. It's been way too good. Give er some time. Most analysts didn't expect much till November atleast
Not sure if Skinner is playing his way into #1 goalie or Campbell is playing his way out. Yes, Oilers Defence played soft and were horrible at clearing rebounds and bodies out of the crease, but seems to me Skinner was a sponge and not allowing rebounds that needed to be cleared. But I'll give Campbell time to settle in and defensive to get used to him before I pass judgement. Campbell played really well the last 2 periods of the 1 game. But the D needs to get it together and start playing with some grit and sandpaper to help BOTH goalies. What I have seen from Campbell is he likes to kick the puck away and keep the play going not absorb it as much as Skinner. Guys have to get used to clearing those rebounds or making sure they're Tying up players around the net. Used to be a guy paid the price for going to the crease. Oiler D is standing around watching or waiting for the kick out.
Ok im not huge into hockey. I dont know if it's the addition of kadri and huby or the lack of johnny golfy and Mr. turtle but it seems to me anyways the team got a little more pep in their step. I know its just the start of the season, but this team looks different. At the end if that was last years flames 2 guys would actually be useful in helping defend,1 guy would be waiting for the puck to get out for a EN goal and the other 2 would block someone that's not even playing the puck
Campbell thinking he's covering the puck while everyone around him is still playing is so classic Campbell. Amazing oiler fans think they got something in Campbell. Zero chance to win the cup with that guy in net
Last couple of minutes remaining, chaos infront of Dan Vladar, Oilers swarming the net, shot is off, Save Vladar and he stops the play, Flames win it 4-3 over Connor and his Team.
@@BlackMasakari luck? Having a d that doesn't play defense doesn't make it luck 🤣 Backlund left all alone in front because nobody boxes him out on the rebound Stone with a howitzer passed a double screened goalie Kadri breaking kulaks ankles mang with an easy rebound because 3 oilers let Kadri walk in and then watched mang get the rebound.. If your going to use excuses.. use a better one than "it was luck"
Is Jack Campbell a downgrade from Mike Smith? As a leafs fan Campbell was decent at times but his numbers didn't get better later on into the season and the leafs defense is just as bad as the Oilers. It's funny people are saying "The oilers won when it mattered" talking about last year's playoffs. Did you really though? You got swept by the avs....

Kadri is a problem. The Avs won’t be the same without him this year. What a beauty.
No they won’t
Why did they trade Kadri?
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 He was FA. They signed others instead..ugh.
