Evander Kane calls out the entire Calgary Flames roster.
Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane let the Calgary Flames know that he doesn't think they're very tough.
The Edmonton Oilers took on the Calgary Flames in the Heritage Classic on Sunday night and although it proved to be a relatively entertaining game overall, it's hard to imagine that fans of the Flames weren't left a little disappointed.
Not only did the Flames fail to show any life at 5 on 5 during the game but they were awarded numerous power plays throughout the game and largely failed to capitalize on those opportunities picking up just 2 goals on the power play in spite of 12 penalty minutes from the Oilers, including a pair of 2 man advantages during the game. To add insult to injury, the Flames weren't just challenged on the scoreboard but also had their toughness called into question during the game.
Edmonton Oilers star forward Evander Kane was mic'd up during the Heritage Classic and during one of scrums that occurred between the Oilers and Flames during the game, Kane very clearly showed that he wasn't at all intimated by the players in the Flames line up. The brash forward openly challenged the Flames roster to come at him with seemingly no response from the Flames.
"What are you gonna do?" asked a very cocky sounding Evander Kane. "What is anybody here going to do?"
The Flames have had a disastrous start to the regular season and this will only serve to rub salt in the wound, especially given that it occurred during one of the biggest games of the season for the National Hockey League.
