Monahan is always good for at least one against us. With my luck Ryan will probably get two.

To tell you the truth the Flames have not been playing their best hockey as of late. You guys got a chance to come in and lay a whooping.

I dunno. They scored 6 against the Oilers, so they're probably done for the rest of the trip.

Cam Talbot apparently rejecting a trade the oil are trying to make with eastern conference team who is not currently in playoff contention. Any guesses who that could be?

My guess is its Philly and likely would involve Simmonds.

Carolina, New Jersey, Philly or maybe Florida would be my guesses.

Boys got a couple weeks off after tonight. Hope they are not looking past the game.

Anyways, I want to see how Ferland reacts to Chucky making friends with his new team mates tonight.

I doubt he has much to say about it. He hasn't been a particularly physical player since he got concussed again this year.

Side, but related note:

The Koskinen contract got even scarier for me when I got into his splits... Even scarier than the fact that he was awarded a contract for 24 starts, is the following:

October, December and January - combined 8 W, 8 loss record, .900 and 3.16 GAA.

Among goalies with more than 10 starts, those Oct/Dec/Jan stats have him 48th in save % and 54th in GAA.

I know I can't just cherry pick those months, but he's been below average more often than not this season and he's getting $4.5M for it? Chia's lost his damn mind. He's effectively being paid for his month of November where he went 6-2 .927 2.18

Home and road splits are even more disparate:

Home 8-5 .927 2.36
Away 6-5 .891 3.23

Last time the Oilers handed out this money based on a half season of results was the guy they had between the pipes the last 3 years, and are now RUNNING out of town as fast as possible.

The Scott Darling contract was a bit of a gamble at the time, and that failed catastrophically. But that one was way less risky than what they just did with Koskinen.

Yeah they're taking a gigantic risk for a guy who has 27 games of NHL experience. It's honestly getting to the point where I'm starting to think Chiarelli's crewing the Oilers on purpose because it is just so dumfounding to me that a guy could continually be this bad at his job and think he's making the team better.

Basicly says Chia’s a clueless idiot and Kockskins not worth 4.5/ season. Wow! Just can’t fix stupid!

The beat goes on!
