stress levels during these games are high. I put 3,000 steps on during game 5 according to my fitbit.

I imagine they'll load up McDavid and Draisaitl again when necessary. Thankfully the Kings will be able to dictate last change. And please, please be aware that the two kill penalties together at times and are always the first guys out there after a PK. Stop wasting Kopitar and Denault on the PP for 1:30 leaving the 3rd line out there against McDavid and Denault.

Yep.

 

[saintsnsoldiers]

It's a cliché but it really feels like the 4th win will be the hardest to get. The Oilers will be playing with desperation, something they lacked for the most part these past two games.

I'm nervous!

I agree, but with desperation comes mistakes we just have to capitalize.

 

[apocalypse]

Kings got this.

Well if anything, I like the Kings bottom 6's chances of potting some goals tonight.

 

[YP44]

if they keep 12 forwards 6 D then just need to focus on shutting down 1 line...it is a very difficult line to shut down.
Line 2 could be easy to raddle with Kane and RNH.

Well if anything, I like the Kings bottom 6's chances of potting some goals tonight.

how much ice time do you think they will really see?

At least you’re doing it in a healthy way! And I completely agree. Love playoffs but damn it’s stressful.

Oilers board is going to be brutal if we lose tonight. I’ll likely avoid all social media till NFL starts lol.

I am calling them the Syracuse Bulldogs

Ha! I don't pace a lot but I generally stand in one particular "lucky" spot in the living room while watching a close game.

I did do a victory lap around the couch after Kempe's OT winner because I couldn't yell with the kids asleep.

I stood for a long long time after each goal. Lot of up and down

 

[lexlavender]

Stay out of the box, shut down the top line with first change between Danault and Kopitar, hope Lizzotte and Kupari feast on the bottom lines. GKG

 

[Ryan120420]

I really hope that we ditch the power play units and just roll our top two lines on any power play we may get.

Our power play last game damn near cost us the game. I'm sure the Oilers will look to try to score more shorthanded goals against us.

 

[johnjm22]

The Kings have been subpar and disappointing all year at home.

Often when teams lose a key player (Nurse), they sort of rally around it and come together.

So I'm not confident in this game at all.

TheScore is reporting that Arvy is out for the remainder of the series. No surprise to anyone.

Man, must be a pretty serious injury if he's not even skating. Really sucks.

yah, and when did it happen?? Sounds like it was the last practice before the first game...

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm betting it's a groin tear or something similar.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

The day before or of travel to Edmonton for game 1 I think.

 

[ru4reals]

This has been the pattern for the 5 games so far.

Game 1 - Kings win
Game 2 - Oilers shutout
Game 3 - Oilers blowout
Game 4 - Kings Shutout
Game 5 - Kings OT win

So by looking at the pattern

Game 6 - Oilers Shutout
Game 7 - Oilers blowout

So in other words F*** the pattern Just win baby!!!!

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Anyone listed to Spittin Chiclets podcast? What was Ryan Whitney referencing about the Kempe goal celebration...something about an earring? That it was a jab at Whitney? I didn't get it...

3 Scenerios

-Kings are in the Oilers heads. Evidence? Leon's presser. Oilers overly violent response. 2 days to stew. Franchise pressure from fanatic fans.

-It's a game of inches. Both teams battle. A puck squirts loose. 1 gutsy play. Justification or vindication. A game for the ages.

-Oilers come out steaming. Play like they did in the 14-2 two game drubbing our team endured. Thing is they have to do that 2 more times. That is eminently possible. The Kings need 60 good minutes. The Oil need 120.

Nothin' to do but play it on through.
