The Kings chances may be slim, but there's a reason why they play the games. Anything can happen.

Nothing better in sports than a good upset.

And regardless of what happens, I've really enjoyed this season overall. It's been fun.

 

[BigKing]

Even though it is on Bally's, it isn't blacked out on ESPN like it would normally be...right?

 

[The Butcher]

Hanson and Furlatt are the referees that will screw us tonight. That's right, I'm preemptively bitching about the officiating.

Moneypuck has Oilers over Kings if Oilers win in 4, 5, or 7 games. But Kings over Oilers if it's 6

About 30,000 Edmontonians beat you to it.

 

[johnjm22]

No Vilardi or Fiala at the morning skate apparently.

 

[mrkolice]

[tny760]

wait edmonton's not in BC i need to go back to sleep

f*** me

 

[head eyes]

I can hear a heavy-set woman warming up her voice.

 

[The Butcher]

mcewan is going to make some big plays tonight i can feel it

 

[robitaillefan]

even though I knew deep down fiala wasn’t gonna play , I had a small belief he would

This just makes this series extremely one sided. No bloody way Kempe can run the Offense like fiala does.

F*ck this sucks

 

[YAYSAY]

mcewan is going to make some big plays tonight i can feel it

Is he gonna be playing games on the ipad on the bench?

[bouncesonly]

It'd be nice if Byfield, Kaliyev, Grundstrom, Kupari......they could take this opportunity to, you know....get paid?

What would cause Kings fan here to meltdown more....McDavid boarding Anderson again.......or Copley starting game 2?

 

[chris kontos]

Rob blake sez almost anything can happen in the playoffs.
Lets go

 

[robitaillefan]

So now do we hope to see them in the pre game skate? Lol

Or do we stick a fork in em?

 

[chris kontos]

The’re on double secret koala probation.
Wont see em until 3rd period penalty kill

 

[mrkolice]

Who is not there, he is not there. The team will be fine with a proper attitude. Their season starts today. What happened before is irrelevant. It's all about attitude.

 

[YP44]

So now do we hope to see them in the pre game skate? Lol

Or do we stick a fork in em?

fork em

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Gonna be tough without Fiala and Vilardi, no doubt. I like the way Mick Cronin framed it when UCLA got hammered by injuries in March: "There's always a way to win one game." They got to the sweet 16 before suffering a bad beat to Gonzaga.

(Cronin is a better coach in general than TM, unfortunately.)

 

[chris kontos]

Cant hear the fat lady through my cheeleader pom poms

Lets go

 

[Sol]

Missing the two most creative players is going to make things really difficult.

They should have never messed around with Vilardi and Fialas health like they did. If they are missing games like this then they’re really not that close to full health.

Hope the Kings win, but yeah fire the medical staff immediately in the off-season.
