Darryl Sutter is an absolute gold mine when it comes to post-game press conferences, and tonight he may have just paid my rent for the month. Jonathan Huberdeau gave Flames' fans a scare when he left the bench in the first period, leaving many to think he fell to injury or something.

Turns out, Huberdeau was just fine but did have something come up. Darryl Sutter was asked about it after the team's loss to Edmonton:
Legitimately hilarious. Big Roberto Luongo vibes.
As always, Sutter's full availability was a good watch, as he broke down the Flames' defeat. He felt - like many - that it was just a good, hard-fought game in which the best player in the world happened to be the difference maker.
He means Connor McDavid, of course, who factored in on all three Oilers' tallies. Hilariously enough, I don't think that's what folks will remember from this game, thanks to Sutter. Not much beating around the bush from this fella.
