'Working 9 to 5': Hockey fans react to latest Flames-Oilers classic

Johnny Gaudreau collected five assists, Matthew Tkachuk tallied four points, and the Calgary Flames demolished the Edmonton Oilers 9-5.

The Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers have played countless classic games in their history, but Saturday's 14-goal outburst will go down as one of the best.

It says a lot that the combined 14 goals isn't a Battle of Alberta record (the teams combined for 15 twice in the 1983-84 season) but on the national stage these two teams put on a show, the Flames pulling away for a 9-5 win.

As the classic Dolly Partin song goes, "what a way to make a living." Hockey fans were loving the action and shared their best reactions to social media.
