GDT: 2022-23 season game 78 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @7:30 pm 4/4/23

[Raccoon Jesus]

El oh f***ing el

 

[Jungle Boy]

Blake DESERVES a sweep in the first round

 

[Shellz]

Good to see the top line is still doing nothing

 

[head eyes]

Embarrassing play by pretty much everyone

 

[kingsholygrail]

We might not win another game this year.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Does Durzi need to be on PK1 - is that a logical deployment

 

[Oh Snap]

This team is in serious trouble without Fiala and Vilardi. Also doesn't help at all that our first line has been completely invisible.

 

[Sol]

Nutless team and trash coach. And bad drafting in Byfield. That’s that.

 

[jgs]

Kings new weapon on winning games is hoping their goaltender don't let any pucks in.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Diversity lol

Yeah god forbid the whitest most boring professional sports league in North America has a black guy jaw about fashion for literally three minutes. You’re living up to your username.

 

[fsanford]

Held them to 2 goals, (with goalie in net) hopefully get Fiala and Gabe back so we have full firepower.
Getting healthy is the most important things. They are locked into playing either Vegas or Edmonton, wins and losses are kind of meaningless rest of regular season.
Still think Edmonton wins division, which I would be okay with, Vegas does not even have anywhere close to the Oilers firepower.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Not worried.

This was Edmonton's best without our leading scorer, top pairing D, and Gabe Vilardi out the line-up.

Last year they could barely beat us without our highest scoring RW'er and Doughty.

This can very well happen.

I just don’t give a flying f*** about fashion!

Yeah we are f***ed

Durzi is absolutely fine on the PK

On the GWG ask yourself who was Danault defending?

Durzi had several blocked shots which is what you want

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Kings tried to back themselves into a win, a strategy with a very low chance of success, and it failed. Absolutely nothing shocking about this result.

 

[AbsentMojo]

what a pathetic brand of hockey the kings play. Losers

isnt it past your bedtime

They are damaged and Moore honestly never came back

Well that was fun

He cant track anyone and he's weak. He cant push guys off pucks. He's not strong and has bad foot speed... that main gripes about him on top of generally bad decision making under pressure.

 

[onlyalad]

Not completely upset
Refs were weird
Missing key people
And an off the glass long distance goal
If anything it showed they can hang with all that

 

[Jungle Boy]

Durzi + Roy for both PP goals. Who would have thought?

 

[Herby]

Well, this pretty much locks the Kings into 3rd place in the Pacific. They need to make up 2 points in 4 games on the Oilers, and the Oilers finish with 3/4 against teams that are trying to lose. The Kings would realistically probably have to win out to catch the Oilers, and even that may not be enough.

I hope EDM can overtake Vegas, I'd much rather see Vegas in the 1st round than have to face McDavid.

Ok literally none of that matters on a pk footspeed being the only exception

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I don’t care about “hanging” with the oilers. A first round loss is still a step back. There are no moral victories this year, no “just happy to be here”

Absolutely chickenshit coaching tonight, stay away from the oilers because Tms only strategy is to curl up in fetal position for 60 minutes and pray
