So many Oilers fans. 13 seasons into their rebuild and the highlight of their season is watching a rival lose in the playoffs. How embarrassing.

Jokes on you. I didn’t watch

I predicted a Flames series win how do you think I feel?

The Oilers made the playoffs once in the last three years. The Flames made the playoffs twice.The Oilers have more wins in that one appearance than the flames have in two appearances.

Man that's a pretty nice way of saying "Once in thirteen years".

I'm not arguing the fact that the Flames need some work, I'm arguing that the core took a huge step forward this year and isn't the problem. The Flames don't need to blow it up.

Blow it up? No but don’t do dumb poop like throw a bunch of money at an UFA either

That I can agree with. Tweaks definitely need to be made but nothing too crazy and certainly not overpaying another UFA.

They only have about 8 million plus need to give Tkachuk and Bennett a raise and resign another guy or 2 and find another goalie. FA is not much of an option for the Flames unless they can shed a bigger salary in the offseason.

No that’s something both of our teams should learn from and now we both have that long term poopty contract on our rosters

I see trades being far more likely then free agency signings....maybe they resume talks about Zucker.....seems like one of their big names gets traded

Honestly given that the Zucker trade was agreed upon but the paperwork didn't get done in time at the deadline I'd be pretty surprised if they don't at least talk about that deal again. It would be a goid move for the Flames too.

The trade market definitely seems both more likely and more feasible. At least in trades Calgary csn move contracts out. I don't know who exactly the Flames would look at on the trade market, but I guess we'll wait and see. I hope Treliving has learned his lesson and decides to leave the UFA market mostly untouched. Maybe pick up a cheap depth player but otherwise just don't.

Mark Giordano is a really good regular season player. Really really good January player.

They actually have about 11.5 million and assuming the caps going to go up a few million, they'll have around 15million. They have to sign 4 forwards including Tkachuk and Bennett and two goalies. That's too tight but they may buyout Stone, and trade one or both of Frolik and Brodie. They'll be ok but they have some work to do.

Die it is, I guess.

Just for that, going for the Caps !

Don't matter. Canes won twice as many playoff games as Calgary.

Guess we won the trade.

Flames wen't out and got their depth scoring but all were a no show in the PO's. Was said before that Johnny Monny and that goof Tckachuk would most likely be a no-show in the PO's and McKinnon made then all look like Junior B'ers. Is what it is. Flames have work to do.

Again.

Canes will be out soon and you can do your stupid little post-game celly's when the Canes salute the 4000 fans that stay to watch the season-ending celly's.

Sorry, I was told Dougie was the problem. Is that not true?

Welcome trolls!

How many times did Calgary win 3 in a row over the course of the season?...

It ain’t over until it’s over. Remember that.

Go Flames Go!!!

I took my numbers from sportac. It says about 13mill available then there is about 5 tied up in minor league players and buried contracts. Which is how I came up with about 8 million free. And that's assuming the cap goes up to 83. So no, they do not have very much room. Tkachuk is gonna either get paid large and take up almost all of that, or get a bridge and demand even more in a few years time. Too many guys who want 5+ and the well has dried.

He sure wasn't a problem to OV on that goal tonight !
