Sadly have to say poopty circumstance. One could argue Sarich had time to stop the hit but who knows.

He has time to stop on every replay that's slowed down. At game speed he's like 10 feet away and Hall is upright, then he's falling and Sarich is like 2 feet away. Thats not a lot of space.

Well he is 1 point behind...his ppg % is crazy...Who ever wins the scoring race is the leader in the Calder IMO.
- OilHorse

PPG% can't be the whole story. If Landeskog is an integral part of the Av's making the playoffs, he may deserve that.

I'm not sure about the history of the Calder in this respect. Not sure if it's always the point leader.

Oh, and

MASS EFFECT 3 OMZGB!

I like how feisty Hemmer is tonight, usually he is more passive with the abuse he takes.

AND Where the feck has this been all year right? Not just Hemsky - the whole team. They have to bring this more often.

That one made me happy

oilers dominated the flames for 60 min

No kidding, really hope Hartikainen gets a chance as a 3rd liner next year he's my favorite prospect right now, brings in a physical element we don't have.

nuge has best shooting %, best ppg, was a central part of the Oil offence. for a rookie a decent f/o%...he plays less shifts and less min/game. He does more with less.

I have no issue with losing to Landeskog...but I just think that whoever wins the rookie scoring race has the inside track to the Calder.

It is not always the rookie scoring leader wins, but if a forward wins it it is generally because of winning the rookie scoring race. Heatley, Malkin, OV, Kane, Skinner, Gomez.

So there is no reason to give it to anyone but a forward...

They would have been in the playoff race had they played like this all year. Maybe not a shoe in, but a bubble team. I hope they chalk it up as lessons learned and strive to play like this.

way more. If they played like this every night I would be able to accept a lot more of their losses. I know they can't win every game, but play like you want to win them all at least. Oh and make people pay the price for those two points.

yep, hope they keep it up as that is all we can hope for the rest of the year. Well that and pissing off other teams in the playoff hunt.
Damn Eberle and Nuge looked great again, and a solid team game tonight

Nothing would make me smile more if the Flames missed out of the play offs because of the two points they lost tonight.

I would be just as happy if they lost every game from here on and missed the playoffs by 16 points

lol, I still prefer the close and agonising crushed spirit result of being sooo close, and then getting a poop draft pick, but I do see your point.

I'm not going to hold my breath but it's doable. Could also catch Montreal Carolina even Toronto depending on how they finish.
Remember not to long ago when Minnesota was 1st in the west and TO was in the playoff hunt...

Either way is fine with me

And with that win the Oil break the 62 point mark
