GDT: 2021-22 season WESTERN CONFERENCE QUARTER FINALS Game 7 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @7:00pm 5/14/22 Series tied 3-3

[SaltyElkHunter]

Breaking out the artifacts. Gonna wear these the entire 3rd

 

[BigBrown]

This reminds me of the Vegas series. Hemmed in our own end, just barely holding on, Quick keeping them in it.

Still winnable though! Sending some positive vibes for the third period.

 

[LAKings88]

This guy had 30+ goals, and is currently at 5 in 6 games in the playoffs and could've been had for nothing in the Summer.

I heard they looked into it.

 

[CowMix]

He helps for sure. Just beating LA at their own game. Feels like LA is so concerned with McJesus that they forgot to play in the Oilers zone.

Hasn't it been like 2 or 3 games since they scored without McDavid on the ice?

 

[Mats26]

Honesty... one goal down is fine considering the domination we faced. Oilers need to get that 2nd or defend. Let's see what they do.

Patience and who knows, a broken play or fluke goal will change the game around.

Yeah exactly like that. Get outshot 45-15 and lose 1-0, 2-1 cause of Quick.

This is what 'getting outcoached' looks like

notice an oiler sitting in every single passing route that always works? note how even our unstoppable line of moore-danault-anyone can't even get their buzzsaw going?

Woodcroft has taken away all of TM's safety blankets and he's just throwing his baby food and spitting everywhere

For some reason his teams always comes out flat in elimination games.

This is kinda why I didn’t want the Kings to make the playoffs. I didn’t want Todd to stick around. He’s legitimately a terrible coach.

 

[Live in the Now]

The players are gonna have to do their part here, straight up. They're getting beat to every 50/50 puck, getting beat to most rebounds, They can't control the puck either. They're playing like a team that has no talent and it's on their shoulders now. Nothing anyone can tell them is going to make them stop McDavid. What's annoying is they aren't taking advantage of when McDavid isn't on the ice. If anything they're playing even worse when he's not.

 

[lumbergh]

I want to see Kupari and Athanasiou on one line. All speed. TM needs to make some adjustments to change the feel of the game.

[SettlementRichie10]

Are we allowed to shit on Blake for hiring TMac yet?

I’d take Terry Murray over this do nothing behind the bench.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The Kings' game 7 strategy

Word was Blake was in on him, wondering what he was offering. Probably something similar to what he gave up for arviddson

When he's not on it's the Kings bottom 6 or kopitar's like. None of those guys are scoring. Kempe pretty invisible today.

 

[Mats26]

Series was lost in game 6. What a piss poor start to get scored on the first shot, no response in front of their fans.

 

[Sol]

We were allowed to shit on Blake when he hired a coach that has been reverse swept

 

[KINGS17]

Kings are praying for a deflection, nothing more

...or a great centering pass from Smith.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Might need to put the blocker and leg pads on too. Lol

 

[head eyes]

We were allowed to shit on Blake when he hired a coach that has been reverse swept

Yeah, was anyone happy about that when it happened?

 

[KingsFan7824]

This guy had 30+ goals, and is currently at 5 in 6 games in the playoffs and could've been had for nothing in the Summer.

And he's still a Blue. Although he should've originally been a King, I guess. Thanks again, DL.

 

[Sol]

Yeah, was anyone happy about that when it happened?

There was surprisingly some who were happy with the hire. Pretty delusional.

 

[Quinton Byfield]

Why does it seem like they won game 5, took the 3-2 series lead and are fine with that result?

No heart, no effort, no desire to win.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

They went from trying to play super high skilled off rushes to playing a more cycle focused game

wait, they can do that?

*taps headset*

yes my sources tell me coaching is legal, holy shit

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

When do we riot at Staples??

 

[DryIslandBartender]

This is kinda why I didn’t want the Kings to make the playoffs. I didn’t want Todd to stick around. He’s legitimately a terrible coach.

he’s a terrible playoff coach. Not a guy that will get you to the promised land. Took San Jose a few years to understand that.

We got another year or two of this crap.
