GDT: 2021-22 season WESTERN CONFERENCE QUARTER FINALS Game 3 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @7:00pm Series Tied 1-1

[Bandit]

I had to do a double-take, but rookies Durzi and Spence lead LA defense in ice time through 2 periods... That's kind of amazing and weird at the same time.

It also explains why we’re down 5-2.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Their pumping Durzi hard on SN intermission.. they all like him

They should be, he’s playing like a guy who wants to win, rather than trying not to lose by a lot. Taking the bull by the horns again.

Yes that cant be taught and hopefully he will stick... i like him 3rd pairing 1st or 2nd PP guy for the future.. but the Kings have so much D talent, I dont know what their going to do with him

Yeah he and Spence certainly have their warts but they’re rookies. At least they’re trying.

 

[MBH]

Might not win this one but if they can start progressing they can still make a series of it. The longer this goes, the more I like the kings chances. Maybe get arvidsson back, just scratch and claw.

I mean, there’s no way Edmonton keeps getting all the crazy bounces AND special teams remain perfect, it’s the first two games of 2014 again to some degree

Yep.
As long as the Kings play a tough 3rd and get some confidence - then all the need to do is win the next game.

I have gigantic doubts we win another game in this series, but we can certainly get our playoff rookies some great experience

Spence hasn't been out there for a single goal. Durzi only two. Roy, Edler three. Kopitar five.

 

[KingsHockey24]

The only thing that'd make me feel better about tonight is Ice Cream. Cold Stone specifically.

Ouch

Spence hasn't been out there for a single goal. Durzi only two. Roy, Edler three. Kopitar five.

In under 10 mins of ice time too vs Durzi's almost 19 mins

 

[Master Yoda]

was Kopitar on the ice for all 7 goals?

 

[shuchukfan]

This is probably going to be it for the PP tonight since the Kings are getting more than the Oilers. Next call is going against the Kings. Like Kane, I'd bet on it.

 

[MBH]

I wonder of Durzi, Spence Roy make Doughty trade bait.
Not to mention Clarke.
Is there a team out there that would take Doughty - the whole contract?

 

[Bandit]

Spence hasn't been out there for a single goal. Durzi only two. Roy, Edler three. Kopitar five.

As I mentioned earlier I don’t think either of them are to blame, but that two rookies are our two best defenseman in the playoffs is certainly an issue.

 

[head eyes]

I just can't get over how stupid this powerplay strategy is

 

[MBH]

Get Kaliyev to the other f***ing side

Oh I know, just an observation, despite their ice time, they're only on for a combined 2GA tonight

Will never happen, just wont

 

[ru4reals]

Great minds think alike just took some out myself.

 

[Bandit]

Oilers understood the importance of killing that. Fortunately the kings didn’t make it too tough.

There's that little thing called a NMC.

 

[MBH]

Good look. Gotta make that pass faster

 

[AbsentMojo]

Smith will hand us 1 .. so we need 2 by skill

 

[Bandit]

Get Kaliyev to the other f***ing side

Why? Do you want him to score or something?

 

[MBH]

There's that little thing called a NMC.

7 teams right?

 

[YAYSAY]

Edler has looked really bad
