Offensive a little dried up this road-trip so far.

McSorley says hold my beer!

Richards says, “I’ll murder your entire family”

Just read through the main board thread and wish I hadn‘t. What a bunch of psychos. I mean I know you live in f’ing Edmonton, but that’s no reason to wish for injuries.

Mikey is the only guy cut from the right cloth and he's the one that got crushed. There is a yellow core in this team that makes me sick. You need that gang mentality you hurt one of us you hurt all of us. The cup teams were like pack animals that would destroy anyone that got a even a slightly suspect hit.

This has been an issue for years now with this team. I didn't watch the game but didn't Mc Ewe play guess his uselessness came in handy. By the way still waiting for the retribution for Stephensons dirty a** hit on Toby. Lol. No words.

Some fans legit make this entire game their lives and don't realize that NHL players are just human beings who are working for their salaries. Sure they make far more than the average person, but they still have to work their asses off, it's not an entirely nepotism-based business. It's pathetic some of these fans really.

Since when did we become a fineness team like this? We are not going to do crap in the playoffs if we don't toughen up.

MacEwen 3 min of playing time....why dress him?

But more appalling...5 minutes for Kupari.

Get JAD in some games to soak some minutes at least.

24 minutes for Kopi is TM back to his old 'what doesn't work' tricks. Way to gas out guys halfway thru a roadie.

Even though it's heinous Kupari only got 5 minutes, it's also kind of impressive cause I thought he was super noticeable, never would have guessed he only got 5 minutes

I so wish Turcotte didn't have any setbacks this season (once he began playing - "I feel the best I have in a long time") and was cranking his game full throttle and maybe at 35 points or so in the AHL...and be ready to join the Kings. He's the true third line center the Kings need right now. Mike Richards type. Lizotte needs to be 4th line ctr and Kupari can play bottom 6 wing, or spell for center when needed.

 

[BigKing]

Well...it hasn't been fixed since the Tkachuk elbow on Doughty and here we are

This isn't an enforcer issue but rather a balls from your best players issue. Blake has gone all talent, no marbles and it's going to work in the regular season but not in the playoffs.

Son of a bitch. I'm going to quote my post from before the game.

Two of the best games they've played all year have been against Edmonton: the first one in Edmonton where they blocked a ton of shots and then the one in LA with multiple fights and the Kings actually looking like a team that cares about each other.

I still think this team is soft but those two games have been heartening since they treat Edmonton as one should treat a rival. With a high probability of meeting in the first round, this game and the one next Tuesday here in LA would be bloodbaths in the old NHL: I am very interested to see if Edmonton looks to send messages tonight.

How did this shit turn out?

Not winning a damn thing until this team is a family. Eight year contract gets concussed and who cares?

 

[Peter James Bond II]

The jinx was in when...​

"Viktor Arvidsson Named NHL’s First Star of the Week"​

since that moment, no King forward has scored a goal.

MacDavid must pay

That is all

There is no reason to single out any one player, it’s just going to lead to unnecessary penalties and general buffoonery.

The lack of team Toughness in general needs addressed, and coughing up a draft pick upgrading to Macewen for 3 minutes a night ain’t it.

Just saw dirty hit on Anderson by McDavid.

The issue isn't one guy on the fourth line but that none of this skill has a real edge to it. Then the lower roster guys are still more skill than jam.

This is what @bland talks about. It's roster construction.

Everything is fine until the other team decides to break the law.

Yes.

This is why I don’t understand why people continue to defend Todd. When push comes to shove in important games, he collapses. Every. Single. Time.

I mean, have you been to Edmonton? It’s like Des Moines and Cleveland had an abortion and tried to bury it in the middle of nowhere.

There is absolutely nothing happening in that city besides the Oilers.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Well the new goalie looks quite good. I hope he gets 3 out 4 down the stretch and cements himself. His save pct is astronomically higher than anything we've seen all season .. thats going to pay dividends once the Kings search and find their nutsack.

 

[BigKing]

The thing is they could have still easily won this game. They are still a better team top-to-bottom than Edmonton but they don't have "it".

I felt better about the 2010, first playoff team in seven year squad than this one. I won't argue they aren't good but bitch teams don't win Cups: even in 2023.

Masterclass in dog shit bench management every single time.

 

[Nasti]

It’s nights like these that make me thankful a Canadian team hasn’t won the cup in 30 years.

 

[Moses Doughty]

Kings angered a hockey god somewhere with the performance Markstrom and Skinner had. Not much gonna happen when you have goalies playing out of their mind and somehow every bounce goes the other way in their favor. Only thing I'm mad about tonight is the lack of response to McDavid. Second time he's pulled this, in the last two seasons, you send a guy after him and deal with the fallout as it comes

wtf do you do? just let mcdavid keep running kings into concussion protocols and expect the league to dole out maybe 1 game suspensions? we're getting closer to the point where it'd be better to just run through all the Oilers, including, Jesus, and forego the consequences of penalties. at least the league would have to take notice then.

 

[TwzKing]

When did the oiler fans become feral? Its disgusting to cheer for an injury or call for one. I want to see best on best 100% healthy. Really is wild to me.
