Well, Edmonton Oilers fans…THAT is more like it.
A lot of Oilers players filled their roles well, tonight. The fighters (Luke Gazdic) fought. The scorers (Connor McDavid, Taylor Hall, Nail Yakupov) scored. The goaltenders (Cam Talbot) goal-tended. And in the end, all of that and a few other strong points from complimentary players added up to a 5-2 road win over the rival Calgary Flames. 9 Things:
9. You don’t have to like fighting if you don’t want to. I happen to think its a part of the game, it was when I played (and trust me, I was NOT much of a fighter), and I still think it is, today.
