A Battle of Alberta classic and the last Flames game before the Olympics with no love lost. Hanley and Emeberson even had an excellent fight to prove it. Even with all the aminosity, we got lots of great hockey. This was a Matvei Gridin breakout, he was spectacular. He scored a beauty and assisted another, but it wasn’t just the box score, he was everywhere on the ice, using his stick wisely and making smart passes. Along with Gridin, Cooley came up huge. This was his first Battle of Alberta and he flourished. Oilers had the edge all game long, but nobody had the Flames in a stranglehold like Leon Draisaitl. The man’s life mission is clearly to make Flames fans wish the Oilers selected Sam Bennett back in 2014 and he was a total beast in this game. Only so much a goalie like Cooley can do against that shot. Did you know the Flames have the best penalty kill of the new year? 92%. The Oilers crapped all over that, luckily it didn’t lead to an Oilers win. The Flames win the season series.
