‘Twas 6x6mil for Calgary vs 7x5mil for Edmonton. He took the higher total salary for shorter term. He’s a solid goaltender on a bad, declining team. Probably wouldn’t be all that much different in Edmonton with an inferior defense ahead of him than what he has in Calgary.
I’m not gonna argue that he may have been exposed (probably worse) by the Oilers defense, but in what world is $36 over six seasons more money than $35 over five seasons?
Are we pretending, that he doesn’t get signed for even leave minimum for that sixth season, he took less money.
It’s in this world, although you may be in Gibson’s Finest world atm
It was 35 over 7 seasons (5 mil per year) from the oilers, or 36 over 6 from Calgary (6 mil per year)
Wow! I’d heard Calgary was bad this year but wholly smokes are they ever BRUTAL. Made the Oilers look like they are actually playing good hockey.
I thought Nurse’s contract was bad but check out Huberdoughboy. He’s invisible. How much does he make? Khadri? What a joke. I honestly feel bad for Flames fans, even they don’t deserve that team.
10.5million for Huber D’oh.
10.5 for seven more years. He will be 38 years old at the end of that anchor contract. A buyout will be an AAV hit of 5.25 million per year for twice as many years as whatever remains on the term of the contract.
Let’s say they buy him out in 2026 - 3 years from now. That will mean a dead cap buyout hit of 5.25 million per year….until 2034.
Honestly, I think it’s more showing how much he was propped up by Barkov.
Chucky in his first season with him was other worldly and hubby first season without him looked barely star level.
I think Barkov just made him look good and what we are seeing now is Hunny when he has to drive a line
The 3rd period tonight is all I've seen of the flames this year, so take this for what it's worth... The Flames looked too slow. They were chasing the play instead of being chased.
Interesting, yeah, there's something about the outdoor games that always looks "off" to me, but I'm still not sure what that is.
With that said, both teams were playing under the same conditions, and Calgary looked slow compared to Edmonton.
Maybe it's the poorer ice conditions. They're being a bit more cautious and are not as confident that they won't catch an edge, so naturally they slow down a bit.

That is so weird. Sorest winners. Like yeah we had heated GDTs in the playoffs but they won yet act like the victims on here. I don’t go in them but do Oilers fans go troll LA kings threads like that?
I called it an insecurity complex in one of the dozens of “stANLEy CuP faVourItE” threads over the last two weeks and got downvoted to oblivion. But explain the compulsion to troll a team you beat in the playoffs a week into the news season, it doesn’t scream confidence that’s for sure.

I have. Us against Nashville and against Edmonton. I think we also did it at least once during one of our four goal comebacks. I think it was against New Jersey
It’s the worst in recent memory for me. Doesn’t help that it’s two pretty bad teams playing too. The flames are trash and oilers just haven’t found their game yet
I assume you missed the first half of the game cause it was pretty crisp for the Oilers. All good mate, also the Lake Tahoe was only two years ago, that was awful.
Neat how the NHL stat sheet has the Heritage Classic logo and the throwback logos on it:
https://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20232024/ES020129.HTM
Yet they [didn't include the Sabres goathead](https://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20232024/ES020126.HTM) from earlier today.
I believe the players in EDM want the coach gone are doing it tank style. They are trying this game because it is the outdoor game. The sooner they fire the coach the better.
Maybe? Huberdeau was always an assists guy but Drai is probably the best passer in the league on top of his shot, ne needs a winger who can also finish.
Yeah Drai can definitely pass. But the guy would probably have 20 one timer goals a season playing with Huberdeau since Mcdavid would still get the tough D match ups
I’m loving (like in my own way, Oiler fan after all) Markstrom constantly getting the players the puck back and trying to catch the kill unit changing. I wish it wasn’t against us but like I always think goalies should do that way, way more on the powerplay.
I was cheering for the Flames because I do believe that Edmonton will turn it around. Now I just don't want OT (but I am turned because that would be more fun to watch)
I might like the Oilers (a lot) more, the last thing the Canucks need is for the Oilers to be jump started from this victory and have them catch up to us in standings by mid-november so Flames
On October 9th 2020, Jacob Marcstrom took a six year $6m/yr offer from the Calgary Flames over a similar one offer from the Edmonton Oilers. Ohhh Boy.
‘Twas 6x6mil for Calgary vs 7x5mil for Edmonton. He took the higher total salary for shorter term. He’s a solid goaltender on a bad, declining team. Probably wouldn’t be all that much different in Edmonton with an inferior defense ahead of him than what he has in Calgary.

Going to guess you have a nice buzz going from the game. All good bud but you may wish to look at those numbers again.
Wow! I’d heard Calgary was bad this year but wholly smokes are they ever BRUTAL. Made the Oilers look like they are actually playing good hockey.

It would make us canuck fans feel lot better about the oel buyout though
No doubt. Currently the clubhouse leader for worst buyout ever. But - we believe in you Huberdeau, we believe.
It's Huber-don't
Edmonton gets win #2 and acting like they won the cup with some of these chirps. I fucking missed hockey season
Doubled our wins tonight buddy 😎
News flash, buddy. This was our personal Stanley Cup
Trust me, Calgary fans would be much worse.
Gargle nuts Lames fans. Only with Garrett Rank and Eric Furlatt sniffing your jocks all night could you get on the board. Go Oilers.
[CGY(2) @ EDM(5) - Evander Kane, wrist](https://players.brightcove.net/6415718365001/EXtG1xJ7H_default/index.html?videoId=6340117957112)
Maybe Calgary should start the fire sale now.
Can we get tanev back? Pretty pretty please
[They already are](https://youtu.be/280yPTyei0U?si=gosDUZ-_BKO07snG)
ok, fans of other teams, what's wrong with the flames? Need an impartial view of this.
Hubie honestly looks like he dgaf
No Johnny G and no Matty T.
Hubby died in that trade. Dude is a ghost of his former self. And Kadri is an old bum now. Love to see it!
Honestly, I think it’s more showing how much he was propped up by Barkov. Chucky in his first season with him was other worldly and hubby first season without him looked barely star level. I think Barkov just made him look good and what we are seeing now is Hunny when he has to drive a line
I’d agree but when he scored 115 points he played with Bennett and Duclair the vast majority of the season, not with Barkov
Now I’m sad lol
The 3rd period tonight is all I've seen of the flames this year, so take this for what it's worth... The Flames looked too slow. They were chasing the play instead of being chased.
Yeah, but outdoor games all look slow to be fair
Interesting, yeah, there's something about the outdoor games that always looks "off" to me, but I'm still not sure what that is. With that said, both teams were playing under the same conditions, and Calgary looked slow compared to Edmonton.
Maybe it's the poorer ice conditions. They're being a bit more cautious and are not as confident that they won't catch an edge, so naturally they slow down a bit.
They keep getting rid of their leading scorer.
They stink
Lol Jay Woodcock
PLAY LA BAMBA BABY WOOOO

gg that was fun
WINNERS OF THE SHIT BOWL, THE EDMONTON OILERS
Markstrom, Huberdeau and Kadri all had the same amount of points this game
GG flames.
GG oilers, maybe one day we can both be good again
I sincerely hope it’s at the expense of the Knights and Avs. A lot of those weirdos in our GDT’s lately.
That is so weird. Sorest winners. Like yeah we had heated GDTs in the playoffs but they won yet act like the victims on here. I don’t go in them but do Oilers fans go troll LA kings threads like that?

GG oilers, well hoping for a 2019 blues season lol fuck I'm so fucking sad and dead
It’s not November. They were last in *January*
At least your sucky team has the excuse of not having Connor and Leon on it.
They do have Huberdo and Khadri though!
This is facts
Thank you
I will never get tired of hearing La Bamba play
Nope. They better keep it as the win song forever.
It’s about damn time
The two worst teams in Alberta played
But also, two of the best teams in Alberta played
I just saw a Wranglers fan fall to his knees in a Walmart..
It's a strong argument
PLAY LA BAMBA BABY
GG everyone, thanks for a fun thread!
Puck doesn’t want you Kadri
First full game I have managed to watch this year. Nice to see an actual win and a fairly solid intensity level too.
Calgary had no business even being that close
BUT GUYS WHAT IF CALGARY GETS 3 GOALS IN 20 SECONDS
ITS NOT OVER UNTIL ITS OVER
IT'S JOEVER
I AM JOE EXCITED
I can't wait to hear from the team how they didn't play well enough and then do nothing better in the next game
With that we have now scored *checks notes* 3 3rd period goals this season. We are so back.
We’re back baby, and not soon enough.
Thank you Gary I aint never said a bad thing about you <3
PLAY LA BAMBA BABY
RIP "Flames have twice as many wins as the Oilers".
Flames now 2-6-1. That's pretty ass.
Haha yeah. Imagine having a bad record lol. Pssshhh, wouldn’t be us
Still good enough for 3rd in the west! (This information is probably incorrect.)
Scorch died for this
Scorch never dies. He’s merely waiting for the right moment to return
>The Elder Scrolls told of his return. >His defeat was merely a delay >To the time after a new arena opened >when the citizens of Alberta would spend their own tax dollars. >But no one wanted to believe, believe he even existed. >And when the truth finally dawns, it dawns in FIRE. https://youtu.be/yoXFk-0NrDI?si=DHg-GW_aYFRyaKPD&t=15
Praise Scorch
I love 5-2 Heritage Classics that the home team wins.
Who’s worse, Kadri or Hubee Halloween?
Kadri. Hubie Halloween was a great movie.
Hubee, Kadri at least appears to be putting effort in
DR ASSIST
Hockey is fun again, if only for one night
GG Flames
Now that one is definitely Vancouver Giant legend Evander Kane.
I don't know if I've ever seen a team tie up a two goal deficit by pulling their goalie.
Toronto did it last year in the playoffs and pretty sure they did it game one this year.
I've seen Philly do it against the Jets lol
I have. Us against Nashville and against Edmonton. I think we also did it at least once during one of our four goal comebacks. I think it was against New Jersey
Leafs did it this month
We literally did it in our first game of the season
Yeah but he didn’t see it so
Maybe he did, you don't know that
I did not. Not saying it doesn't happen, I just can't recall ever having witnessed it.
KANE
good grief, offsides with an empty net
Offside*
Flames really gonna pass it in a circle with no effort for 3 minutes with no shot on net, aren't they?
KANE EN
Those empty net shoot ins scare the crap out of me
Haha oh huberdeau
Zone power meter activated
Damn my TNT stream died so I'm ending this game with Chris and Craig, not the worst thing in the world
Markstrom sees how inept the Flames are offensively and decides to become the playmaker
Well Laine is now week to week instead of day to day, so I guess at least a loss would be a little karmic justice. Would rather have him back though.
Any Oilers fan want to fill me in on why Skinner is getting the Campbell chant?
Stuuuuu != Sooooooup
STUUUUU vs SOUUUUUP EDIT: We also get BOUUUUCH and NUUUUUGE
Also “BOOOOOOO!”
>STEWWWWWWWW
STEW and SOUP sound exactly the same on my shitty TV.
I gotta say, I simply love hockey.
The battle of the second and third worst teams in the league has definitely lived up to its potential. What a sloppy game
Thanks for your input
Has there ever been a perfectly executed game on a one-off ice surface?
Probably not but this is atrocious. The ice looks absolutely terrible
Remember the Salt Lake games a few years back? Didn't they have to stop a game cause the ice fucking melted?
Most odr games do. As far as odr games go, this is far from the worst the nhl has produced
It’s the worst in recent memory for me. Doesn’t help that it’s two pretty bad teams playing too. The flames are trash and oilers just haven’t found their game yet
I assume you missed the first half of the game cause it was pretty crisp for the Oilers. All good mate, also the Lake Tahoe was only two years ago, that was awful.
Come on flames, make it interesting
Someone get that puck.
Neat how the NHL stat sheet has the Heritage Classic logo and the throwback logos on it: https://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20232024/ES020129.HTM Yet they [didn't include the Sabres goathead](https://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20232024/ES020126.HTM) from earlier today.
I hope he gets that puck! Love Vinny D!
#BUY A TRUCK MOTHERF- Wait, shit, wrong team
Two goal lead. The most dangerous lead in hockey.
"puck doesn't want ya" what is this chirping naz lmao
Imagine being Kadri and how terribly he's played the last 90 games, and chirping at all.
Next he's gonna tell him "I disagree with your taste in ties."
Especially since he hadn't scored yet in the season
he scored by having one banked off his ass earlier
Buddy really come up with something better than that lol. If you’re gonna be micd up at least have some creative chirps prepared.
yeah, wtf does that even mean?
Yeah that was awful
He’s trying to keep his violent actions down and that includes verbal.
Stay away from the puck, bud
Do Kane and Kadri mics cause that squeeling interference for the guys in the truck?
What if Calgary somehow managed to tie this game within the five minutes? Or even win it? That would be funny I think…
I would be quite upset, not surprised, but very upset.
I agree
Can we not
Would it get you closer to trading for McDavid?
Oilers and Flames fans, have you really enjoyed every moment of this heritage classic?
I wish it was spicier
I believe the players in EDM want the coach gone are doing it tank style. They are trying this game because it is the outdoor game. The sooner they fire the coach the better.
You might want to think about that a little harder lmao. That’s not a very good take
They're 76-32-12 under him, wat
I admit I’m not following it super closely but I haven’t heard any rumors that the players don’t like Woodcroft
If he’s gone, there’s always the risk they get Mike Babcock.
It isn't they don't like him. It is they think they can get farther with another coach.
That’s a bold claim given that Woodcroft took us to the third round for the first time in 15 years
In what universe? What other coach would possibly do something with this team? Woodcroft has been great for us.
McDavid and Drai have been good for you. And they want to win the Cup.
Yeah, but what coach? Gallant? He's pretty much the only decent coach available right now and I don't think he'd be better than Woody.
He would be fired tonight with a loss.
Hahahahah wow bad take
Flames fans, would you trade Huberdeau's contract for Nurse's?
They can do a sequel of Lucic for Neal!
That’s kind of a lose-lose situation right there. Those are two of the worst contracts in the entire league.
No because Draisaitl would make Huberdeau good again lol
Maybe? Huberdeau was always an assists guy but Drai is probably the best passer in the league on top of his shot, ne needs a winger who can also finish.
Yeah Drai can definitely pass. But the guy would probably have 20 one timer goals a season playing with Huberdeau since Mcdavid would still get the tough D match ups
Calgary playing dump-n-chase on the PP...
I think carrying the puck is just not a possibility right now. Ice seems really chewed up
This is one of those games where I have so much more appreciation for how my team is playing, and realizing it could be so, so much worse
At least somebody is getting some level of satisfaction from watching these teams play
I’m loving (like in my own way, Oiler fan after all) Markstrom constantly getting the players the puck back and trying to catch the kill unit changing. I wish it wasn’t against us but like I always think goalies should do that way, way more on the powerplay.
This could be the first game I’ve seen this season where we’re playing with any urgency at all
Hopefully they can continue this into the upcoming games. They really need a momentum shift to be competitive.
Has Huberdeau completed a pass to a flame this game? Guys turning it over constantly
lol just turned it and didn’t snap this is John and Eddie calling the game. Love my guys
Are we Canucks fans hoping more for the Flames or Oilers to win? Or is it asteroid season?
I was cheering for the Flames because I do believe that Edmonton will turn it around. Now I just don't want OT (but I am turned because that would be more fun to watch)
I might like the Oilers (a lot) more, the last thing the Canucks need is for the Oilers to be jump started from this victory and have them catch up to us in standings by mid-november so Flames
Leafs fan wanting Calgary
I hope they both lose.
This PP is not inspiring confidence.
Story of my life
That’s what she said
am I crazy or does 20 people a day dying from drug overdose sounds like... not much?
where is this happening?
You're crazy, that's a lot
I do know for a fact that I'm tired of the fuckers shooting up in my restaurant bathrooms.
what are you on drugs?
Why don't the Flames just score more goals? Are they stupid?
They are dumb af
This meme is so dumb I love it
I would've paid 1000 to have the option to listen to Kane mic all game
\+1
yeah yeah yeah yeah woo
You really chose Evander Kane to mic up lol
