#1 NHL DIV. GAME OF THE MONTH - PUCK-LINE
(NHL) Flames (CGY) vs. Oilers (EDM),
Point Spread: -1.50 | 102.00 Oilers (EDM) (Home)
Result: Loss
At 8:07pm ET, my Pacific Div. Game Of Month is on Edmonton on the puck-line. The Flames are off to a fast 2-0 start. The Oilers are off to a difficult 0-2 start. That's not what the defending Western Conference champions had in mind! Remember that a slow start last season led to a coaching change and forced them to climb out of a big hole. They want to avoid a similar fate this year. I'm confident that they will bring their best against Calgary tonight. The Oilers are 8-2 the past 10 meetings with the Flames and they were 3-1 last season. All 4 of those games were decided by 2 or more goals, the Oiler wins coming by scores of 4-2, 3-1 and 5-2. With the Oilers angry about last night, this will be another Edmonton win by 2 or more goals.
