GDT: 2022-23 Western Conference Quarter-Finals game 1 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @7:00pm 4/17/23 MOD Warning post #596

[DyslexicTom]

So a team that couldn't handle physical play all season long is being outplayed physically?

 

[Jungle Boy]

slash/crosscheck on doughty nothing!

He should have done something! Cant believe how soft this team has become

 

[Ryan120420]

Embarrassing.

This team has zero balls. Great job Blake! Built for the regular season, not for the playoffs.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Looks like the Kings are in preseason hockey mode.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Blake is going to watch us lose 4 tight games where we get absolutely rocked physically and think we need to add Lucic or some damn thing. Cue the death spiral and the 2nd accidental rebuild.

We’ve had first rebuild, yes, but what about second rebuild?

 

[Reaper45]

What a classy fanbase we have.

To be fair lots of things come up that way. Starts with s ends with bag comes up that way too.

 

[johnjm22]

Kings have 1 goal in their last 7 periods against Edmonton.

 

[123slam]

Yeah, definitely couldn't have been a worse period

 

[Bandit]

Pretty much what I expected.

 

[kingsboy11]

The mentality is just weak, Oilers are just having their way on everything. Physicality, determination, skill. Every single aspect of the game they were outplayed. 2nd to every loose puck, slow to react, hesitant with the puck. The mentality has to change right now for the sake of the series.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

We need to stand up for ourselves not cry about the refs! Calvary ain’t coming. Time to grow a pair you twats!

 

[SherVaughn30]

This is simple and no complication here. Oilers have come out flying and shooting with no hesitation at all. TMac coaching approach has the team not prepared. Kings were futzing around with too many passes, while the Oilers were skating hard and shooting like their life depended on it.

I hate to say this Game 1 is already over! 1-0 Oilers in the series...

 

[Herby]

Has Byfield even touched the puck yet?

I keep waiting to see anything. He isn’t even as good as a guy like Kent Johnson, who is actually younger.

Yeah I’m sure playing prevent hockey is not Todd’s fault.

Didn’t say he wasn’t without fault. But the poor drafting and big holes on the roster are not his fault.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings collectively tucked their peepees between their legs.

 

[KingsofLA]

Embarrassing, Blake and McClelland should ask the Sedins if they approve this playoff ass whoppin

 

[Kurrilino]

This isn't even a playoff series for Edmonton. It's a warm up for the actual playoffs next round.

Yeah it reminds me a little bit of us being the behind the scene bl**j** girls so the porn star can enter the movie scene completely ready to go

 

[Gjwrams]

That’s about as bad As that could’ve gone aside from an injury. Out hustled and they looked intimidated from the start to the end of the period. `

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Kings have 1 goal in their last 7 periods against Edmonton.

Do the Kings score 4 goals this series?

 

[Reaper45]

Remember when Doughty used to throw hits? No max.

 

[Mcsorley47]

Going to get bitch slapped around with no one capable of responding.

This is not a serious cup team.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Kings got bullied on the playground.. problem is mommy not there to give them a warm bath

 

[psych3man]

The NHL has become a f***ing joke.
(1) How the hell can there continue to be two rulebooks...one for the darlings and one for the others
(2) The abuse of the cap is f***ing ridiculous. How can you have a hard cap for the season and throw it out for the playoffs, which really matter.

Both are sickening and bush league.

 

[Sol]

Guys don’t worry according

I keep waiting to see anything. He isn’t even as good as a guy like Kent Johnson, who is actually younger.

Didn’t say he wasn’t without fault. But the poor drafting and big holes on the roster are not his fault.

the fact the Kings are playing like p***yes and letting the oilers develop all the momentum has all to do with his formation.

Stop making excuses for him.

 

[Schmooley]

This version of Doughty would have made no difference last seasons series either.
They are getting beat up and have zero answer its kinda sad. They have zero offense without Fiala and Vilardi it seems also.
Down 2-0 and they are out there turtling playing 1-3-1 on their heels

 

[LAKings88]

Oilers literally just manhandling players.

Exactly the worse period everyone expected.

f***ing hate the Oilers.

Kings just don’t have it without Fiala.

He’d probably get ejected anyway.
