Flames at Oilers Game Thread: Spectacle

It seems like no matter the result, any games the Flames are involved in since last Wednesday night and possibly for the rest of the season will inevitably play second fiddle to the utter sideshow that surrounds this team off the ice right now.

The Flames are in Edmonton to take on the Oilers tonight after sending their best defenceman packing, so I have little confidence that tonight's contest will result in anything other than a blowout loss. Especially considering Anton Babchuk could be playing.

Lines and Pairings:

Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak

Tanguay-Cammalleri-Comeau

Hudler-Backlund-Cervenka

McGrattan-Begin-Jackman

Sigh. God help us.

Go Flames.
