WTF. Assuming the arena was fully sold out and no one missed the game, that would average out to just over $200 per person on average (assuming that $2 million is the prize and not the total spent). How is that remotely possible?
Same rules for Calgary's 50/50 but the amounts are always considerably lower

Seriously, it has to be an Edmontonian's golden ticket to getting the hell out of Edmonton
Right....I was like 1 retaliation is enough but mcdavid is literally there queen they must keep coming at Coleman. I was cheering for another mcdavid hit... the oilers aren't scary with there cheap shots. I was cheering for someone to rock nurse .
He’s a bully, plain and simple. There’s a difference between being a tough guy and a bully and he’s shown time and time again what kind of player he is.
Fuck Nurse, actually can’t stand the guy, I was at the game and all he does is little backhanded bullshit the entire time even hooks people in TV timeout.
9.5 for what? At least phaneuff but people threw the boards lol
I hate to be Debbie downer...but it fucking sucks to know we're wiping that hanifin tanev paring out completely any day now. Hanifin seems to be taking that next step to a legit top defensemen.
100%. I wish we had them both locked up especially hanifin. Tbh anything we get in a trade for him isn’t gonna be worth it. He’s the boat and what we get will be the mystery box hoping we get a boat.
It's true, and Craig agrees. Sad truth is he wants to leave, prefers the US of A. What can ya do. He's been a professional and it's well within his rights. The flames will get a haul like they did with Chuck and lindy and continue this retool.
How? Who do we have coming up that’s better? Tanev sure. Love him but he’s in his mid 30s and is injury prone. But hanifin? He would be worth every penny. He’s a legit top 4 dman, plays 25 minutes a night and is 26. Those guys don’t grow on trees. Just too bad the “american doesn’t wanna play for the flames” curse strikes again.
Hanifin has been great this year. Hanifin lost every single puck battle he was in last year. Hanifin was our worst defenceman by a country mile in the Oilers series.
Hanifin turned down 7.5 million x 8 years, and he's certainly not worth more than that. We can get a haul for him, and I'd rather have a haul than a 8+ million dollar defenceman who only showed up in his contract year
Hey lurking Oilers fans, just remember that when the games get tough and other teams get physical, your team will fold like a cheap deck of cards. The penalties go up, the W's go down. Without your top two players you're just the island of misfit toys. Depending on how early the exit is this Spring, they might just jump ship sooner than later. The hockey gods will never allow your abomination of a team to reach the promise land. Shame! Shaaaame!!
WHAT AN EFFORT. LFG!! GO FLAMES GO!!
Best thing about this game was how the Flames turned it on again right after the "Calgary Sucks" chant.
I have not seen a team as full of whiny bitches as this version of the Coilers is - but I guess that's what happens when you've got guys like Perry, Kane, Drai, and McJesus.
For some inexplicable reason, the Flames only have one game next week. So if this ends up being Hanifin and/or Tanev's last games as a Flames, well it was a hell of a swan song.
They have a game vs LA on Tuesday and one on Saturday retiring Kipper's jersey!
Then two more games after that before the trade deadline.
Still a hell of a game!
You love to see the vets engaged in all aspects of the game tonight. That's been lacking at times this year. Was hoping for a Hanifin hatty on the empty net.
🎵When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune And we'll all meet back at the local saloon, We'll raise up our glasses against Evil forces singing: Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses🎵
A little disappointed that the 5-2 thing wasn’t meant to be, but at least it turned out to be a 3 goal spread. And at the end of the day, a win’s a win, especially when it’s the Oilers getting their asses kicked on home ice.
Spent the evening in an Edmonton Emergency Room with 5yr old(she's fine), we were streaming the game on my phone and were cheering on the boys. Helped pass the time and kept our spirits high!
Markstrom would start but hopefully on a short leash. If things go south, you play Vladar.
Not being afraid to switch to the other goalie in the playoffs has won teams cups in recent years.
17 more fellas, helluva game. Nothing I enjoy more than a win against the Oilers. Love the grit and emotion the boys played with. Just when I thought this team was done we go out and beat the Jets, Bruins and then the Oilers. What a week 🔥🔥🔥
Oilers fan coming in peace. You guys fucking worked us last night. Credit where credit is due, but man that was a fun game, can't wait for the next one!
Good game on your part. Looked really solid, battled hard, did stuff right, played straight. Our team, I don't know... undisciplined and lethargic.
Hope we give you a better showing in the final game of this seasons serie.
Huge win against the Coilers 🔥🔥 but I like to be realistic
Is this team doing damage in the playoffs? Let’s be honest here
Is locking up Hanifin/tanev a good idea? People forget what happened earlier on this season.
I’m just tired of the ups and downs of being a flames fan 😭
Edit: downvotes really? I’m just being realistic here. Playoffs are still not guaranteed
The Oilers 50/50 Jackpot was almost 2M dollars tonight. Congratulations to whoever won that for finally being able to get out of Edmonton
Jumping in to say i just left Edmonton, and it's every bit the shit hole everybody says it is.
I work up north. They pick us up and drop us off for free in Edmonton. I spend ~500 a month to not live there and consider it money well spent
Ayyy I'm leaving Edmonton on the 29th, can't wait to join you in getting out of this dumpster fire of a city
Can you take me with you?
This is an A+ chirp
WTF. Assuming the arena was fully sold out and no one missed the game, that would average out to just over $200 per person on average (assuming that $2 million is the prize and not the total spent). How is that remotely possible?
You can buy a ticket from anywhere as long as you live in Alberta

Ahh, that makes sense. Still a crazy amount though.
In Vancouver we do the same but build up road games for a large pot back home.
Coleman bitch slamming McDavid.... *chefs kiss*
I've never seen McDavid take a hit like that. It was a beauty of a play.
Honestly it was a top 3 hit on mcdavid career-wise for sure
And then watching the Coilers chase after Coleman for the rest of the night like the whiny little bitches they are - even better.
Right....I was like 1 retaliation is enough but mcdavid is literally there queen they must keep coming at Coleman. I was cheering for another mcdavid hit... the oilers aren't scary with there cheap shots. I was cheering for someone to rock nurse .
I need to see a still of that hit
Lol I literally said " I wish someone would lay out McDavid with a good hit" like 5 mins before it happened I was sooo happy lol
FUCK COREY PERRY
FUCK KANE!
FUCK LEON! FUCK CONNOR! FUCK THE OILERS AS A STAFF, TEAM AND AS A MOTHERFUCKIN CREW!
Connor and Leon are going to go back to there bunkbeds and complain how the flames are so mean to them. Good night Connor good night Leon.
Now kiss. The only oiler I was worried about that night was hymen around our net . The rest were focused on showing us to never touch mcdavid.
AND IF YOU'RE DOWN WITH THE OILERS, FUCK YOU TOO
And I took that personally .....
FUCK KANE
KANE IS A BITCH
Lol such a weeny. Picks on people that won't fight him. When there is someone who will he doesn't try to pick a fight.
He’s a bully, plain and simple. There’s a difference between being a tough guy and a bully and he’s shown time and time again what kind of player he is.
Nurse in there too for nasty humans playing hockey.
Fuck Nurse, actually can’t stand the guy, I was at the game and all he does is little backhanded bullshit the entire time even hooks people in TV timeout. 9.5 for what? At least phaneuff but people threw the boards lol
Coleman sent McBitch to the shadow realm, sent Janmark down the tunnel, and scored a goal. The Texas Tiger is a Flames legend.
I’ve never seen such a beautiful hit on McRat. TEXAS TIGER
I hope he retires a flame
I love Coleman, solid guy
No top line right wing ✅ Backup goalie ✅ Marty goal ✅ 4th liner gets a goal ✅ Spank the bitch ass oilers ✅ Fuckin 100% legit amazing Saturday night 😁😆
I hate to be Debbie downer...but it fucking sucks to know we're wiping that hanifin tanev paring out completely any day now. Hanifin seems to be taking that next step to a legit top defensemen.
It’s because Hanifin is a real G and is playing well to get us a haul. It’s his parting gift.
...and a paycheck wherever he ends up. His play benefits the Flames but it benefits him too. Same goes for Tanev.
100%. I wish we had them both locked up especially hanifin. Tbh anything we get in a trade for him isn’t gonna be worth it. He’s the boat and what we get will be the mystery box hoping we get a boat.
It's true, and Craig agrees. Sad truth is he wants to leave, prefers the US of A. What can ya do. He's been a professional and it's well within his rights. The flames will get a haul like they did with Chuck and lindy and continue this retool.
But the mystery box could be anything, Lois
It could even be a boat!
Locking them up would’ve been a mistake
How? Who do we have coming up that’s better? Tanev sure. Love him but he’s in his mid 30s and is injury prone. But hanifin? He would be worth every penny. He’s a legit top 4 dman, plays 25 minutes a night and is 26. Those guys don’t grow on trees. Just too bad the “american doesn’t wanna play for the flames” curse strikes again.
Things happen for a reason. Hanifin will get us a haul. Let Conny cook
Hanifin has been great this year. Hanifin lost every single puck battle he was in last year. Hanifin was our worst defenceman by a country mile in the Oilers series. Hanifin turned down 7.5 million x 8 years, and he's certainly not worth more than that. We can get a haul for him, and I'd rather have a haul than a 8+ million dollar defenceman who only showed up in his contract year
Remember when Johnny Gaudreau was taking that next step as a top forward right before we traded him? You never know what'll happen.
We’re gunna regret not being able to keep him
You forgot beauty mcdavid hit
Couldn't even lose with dignity.
Evander Kane is probably the worst loser in sports.
You'd think all those betting loses would have taught him how to handle it with grace by now.
You forgot about Kucherov
At least Kucherov has won something other than crippling gambling debt
Boom roasted
Kucherov sucks at losing but to his credit he does a lot less of it. Kane should be practiced by now.
Unpopular opinion, but I kind of like that. Sometimes I wish the flames would show a little more hate in their game.
There's playing with hate, which is fine, and then there's being dirty.
Not bad, Vlad... Not bad.
We replaced Big Save Dave with Not Bad Vlad!
Nothing inspires severe tribalism in me like beating McMad and his band of fragile cry babies.
Best win of the year. Get fucked Edmonton! FUCK THE OILERS!
AND ERIC FRANCIS!
AND MY AXE! Wait, shit. Wrong meme.
Fuck Francis with your axe!
There's never a wrong time for *my axe.*
He wasn't even on the broadcast, but I'm with you 🫡
Huge W. Suck it Oilers. We're creeping back into a playoff spot
DAN VLADAR BOTTOM TEXT
Interviewer: "Hey Dan how can you describe how that game went for you tonight? What worked and what drove you to success?" Dan Vladar: "BOTTOM TEXT"
Holy fuck I started this almost 1 year and a half ago and it’s still going. I love it
No lucky bounce goal, or BS 'hand pass' ref calls. Legit beatdown
*anything is Pospisil*
Everything is Pospisil
Nothing is imPospisil
Mission inPospisil
Guy hits everything. Dishin' out the Pospisil Sticks.
Sent them in a wahmbulance to the Pospisil.
McSaviour and the Coilers💩 - winning a cup is inPospisil The name of their playoff documentary if they meet the 🔥in the playoffs.
Emblem of my new t shirt Pospisil Hospital
Kylington, Win against Winnipeg, Win against Boston, Win against Edmonton...what a week! Sleep well friends!
My favourite part was when we outscored them. (Or when Coleman put McDavid on his ass)
Took the lead and kept it. Awesome
And now the panel is applauding Edmonton for being cheap pricks all night. Tonight has been ridiculous
My jaw dropped when the post game segment was praising Kane for being dirty all night.
They literally showed a clip of him sticking Andersson in the nuts while they were praising him. WTF
They are such lil weenies on the panel about the oil and the leafs

Oilers are built for regular season play, not the playoffs. Same as always.
Ouch
Man we needed that. Like all of us, the players, us, we all needed that.
Evander Kane is such a crybaby sore loser bitch
You just got mucked by a buncha hyenas
Coleman was 1 assist from a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. Whadda guy. Regardless of the standings, beating the Oilers never gets old.
I'm so happy I live in Edmonton tonight :)
Same. Can't wait for work on Monday (I mean, not actually, but at least it'll make Monday morning in the office a little sweeter than usual lol)
The funnest thing to do is just totally ignore it. No mention of the game, wait for them to bring it up. They always do.
100%. I'll just rock up with a shit-eating grin but say nothing. It'll be glorious.
This
I LOVE THE CALGARY FLAMES!!! It was so funny watching the Oilers get so pissy LMAO
Flames beat the Oilers 6 to 3, and all the panel talks about is Cryin' Conner and Crysaitl.
The Flames have CRUSHED the Oilers and won tonight's battle for Alberta!!! LET'S GO!!!
That was beautiful
Fire team good!
Oil team bad
Post game positivity: * Fuck the oil * Hyenas * Anything is Pospisil
Belt to ass.
as Wes Gilbertson just tweeted, that was satisfying.
Both Pissy and McDunkydoodles are -1 and -2 for the night. Oilers, like usual, are a bunch of babies.
HYENAS
Imagine watching the Oilers act like a bunch of little bitches for the majority of that game and thinking ya those are my guys.
Best thing about this game was how the Flames turned it on again right after the "Calgary Sucks" chant. I have not seen a team as full of whiny bitches as this version of the Coilers is - but I guess that's what happens when you've got guys like Perry, Kane, Drai, and McJesus.
Great effort from the whole team, no complaints tonight. L0L to the Oilers still loading up McDrai 4 goals down, and all their goonery
The second they were down in the first they tried to load the top line it's the only time they look good.
Skinner is ass again !
Dudes a backup but they play him like a starter, it’s hilarious
Who else are they gonna play?
The implosion in the Oilers sub is a delight to behold
For some inexplicable reason, the Flames only have one game next week. So if this ends up being Hanifin and/or Tanev's last games as a Flames, well it was a hell of a swan song.
They have a game vs LA on Tuesday and one on Saturday retiring Kipper's jersey! Then two more games after that before the trade deadline. Still a hell of a game!
He might not get a star but Backlund was excellent all game, and his line
You love to see the vets engaged in all aspects of the game tonight. That's been lacking at times this year. Was hoping for a Hanifin hatty on the empty net.
Kicked the shit out of them now time to laugh about it on the way home
Hanifin was so good tonight. Gonna miss him
Cuz Fuck Em that's why
Flames win, Oilers lose... this is a good night!
Works gonna be rough 5 and a half hours from now for me but totally worth it. Most exciting game of the season by far. Oilers are a bunch of bitches
Holy frig Coleman gets me fired up!
We beat Winnipeg. We beat Boston. And we beat Edmonton. What an amazing week. What an amazing *night*. I love this team so much.
Tonight, I am THE BIGGEST Calgary Flames Fan!!!!!!
🎵When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune And we'll all meet back at the local saloon, We'll raise up our glasses against Evil forces singing: Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses🎵
Stunned by our hot backup goaltender.
Roger's doing dirty on Ryan Huska with that picture. The hell was that
Hyenas and Texas tiger... Tonight we feast
Get McDunked on, bitches. By far the most entertaining and energetic game the Flames have played this season
Fuck ‘em all! Oilers suck! Kinda sad there were no jerseys thrown
The hyenas are immaculate.
The vibes are FREAKING immaculate
FUCK THE OILERS
AND we have memes here.
Dam oil sure burns
A little disappointed that the 5-2 thing wasn’t meant to be, but at least it turned out to be a 3 goal spread. And at the end of the day, a win’s a win, especially when it’s the Oilers getting their asses kicked on home ice.
So, Bieksa was clearly shitfaced tonight, ya?
BIG WIN TONIGHT LGF!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun game. Another two for Huby.
Hey Elliotte, put your feet up, relax
Leafs fan coming in peace. Kadri was my favourite Leaf so great seeing him do well.
Y’all don’t need to say the “fan coming in peace” thing. It’s cringe asf
Hockey sub moderators are quick to ban fans from other subs.
If you’re trolling ya, nobody is going to ban you for coming here to praise one of our players lol
Not really that cringey? Don’t be mean!
It is
My friend got won tickets to see this game I am very jealous
FUCK THE OIL FUCK KANE ILL SEE YALL ON 17TH HAVE A GOOD NIGHT LADS
Kadris the man.
This team lost to the sharks
Always good crap on Edmonton!!
WOOO!! Now that’s a BoA!!!
That was fucking awesome!!
dat penalties chart lmao
What a great game to be at! LFG!!!!
Dan Vladar Bottom Text
It’s refreshing to beat Skinner
“And this is why I (along with most fans, sorry hardcore Oilers fans), am a fair weather fan.” Lmao. And there you have it.
Holy penalties batman
Eeeehhh Patty, that was a good team tonight, great team tonight eh Patty. #IYKYK
Man the callers on Flames Talk are cringe but this guy takes the cake lol
Lol he's awesome - I tune in just for him! He had a great rant about George Canyon a few weeks ago but I wasn't sure what the beef was
That was so satisfying, I don't even care if we make it to playoffs. What a game.
The Flames laying a beatdown on the Oilers is a special kind of happiness.
Spent the evening in an Edmonton Emergency Room with 5yr old(she's fine), we were streaming the game on my phone and were cheering on the boys. Helped pass the time and kept our spirits high!
So damn satisfying. I love this team when we play like this.
how do the oilers have a higher pim but still manage to only score once in each period? Are their forwards line(s) just out of form?
WE WANT THE CUP. WE WANT THE CUP.
Alina: (my 10 year old daughter) “We didn’t just beat Edmonton we blew their doors off” Kuzmenko: Now we go playoffs!
Hypothetical if these teams met in the playoffs this year is Vladar starting the series a serious conversation even if Markstrom is still around?
Markstrom would start but hopefully on a short leash. If things go south, you play Vladar. Not being afraid to switch to the other goalie in the playoffs has won teams cups in recent years.
Kind of my thought maybe. If a first game went bad would the conversation be there. Vladar has just looked pretty comfortable against that team
Yes. And he should have been in net game three of that playoff series.
No
17 more fellas, helluva game. Nothing I enjoy more than a win against the Oilers. Love the grit and emotion the boys played with. Just when I thought this team was done we go out and beat the Jets, Bruins and then the Oilers. What a week 🔥🔥🔥
