If you compare the blue line Soup played behind in Toronto and the blue line he’s playing behind in Edmonton I think it’s a miracle he isn’t allowing 8 goals a game.

Yeah, no comedy whatsoever in that situation. He's not a good guy, but that was scary and he'll be out for some time.

Couldn't even hit a wide open net last night. Flames are playing okay, just can't score.

Edler meets McDavid at the blueline, Connor sees him and jumps to avoid contact and gets clipped by Edler. Spector says he threw out a knee. All righty then.

Looked like a charge on McDavid to me. He even left his feet.

Connor ain't shy when it comes to dishing it out either...

I don't want any star hurt over bullshit hits and Edler's got a knee-on-knee history but I can't really fault him too hard on this one.

That said, guys this good at the game do tend to know exactly what they're doing.

I'm pleased to see that Connor wasn't injured on the play. I think that Edler is just getting himself into position because he knows contact is just a split-second away.

Oilers at the quarter pole are a .500 hockey team (10 up and 10 down). Shouldn't a team with arguably two of the best five players in the league have a better record?

Really glad Campbell got paid.
