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

Our team looks so soft and like a deer frozen in headlights.

 

[Reaper45]

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.

In the meantime Stutzle looks fantastic.

 

[Sol]

Bro take out the oilers. If they’re not gonna take out the oilers I hope they just keep running the Kings so we can see how bad this team truly is. I want Todd gone

 

[bouncesonly]

Kings ain’t getting any power plays. And they’ll get penalties for retaliation, which at this point is going to be a goal against. They either win this on even strength or goon it up. Doubt either will happen lol

 

[Schmooley]

Remember when Doughty used to throw hits? No max.

He sucked that period

 

[BigKing]

Remember when Andy Murray dressed Grimson for the 1st round? Glorious days.

It's excruciating to cheer for the softest team in the league that just gets bullied non stop and almost never does anything about it.

Edmonton is having so much fun. They know they are better but, worse, they know they can kick the shit out of them physically. They spent that whole period testing the Kings physically and they still haven't found the Kings boiling point. It's going to get ugly.

Could have fooled me that this was a playoff game by the way the Kings played.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Should be worse than it is. Danault line bringing it. Everyone else looking flat or tentative.

 

[Jungle Boy]

Nurse laughing at Durzi is humiliating

 

[bland]

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

They decided to go full Flyer.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Just glad we didn’t draw VGK in the first round, that would be worse.

 

[chris kontos]

All that talk from blake/luc about were here to win championships is pure bullshit
Anybody that believes it is a fish
Their goal is to get butts in seats
And to separate you from your money while providing a substandard product.

The team needed rebuilt after daryl and deano left but due to blake/lucs mismanagement we're years down the line only to have to rebuild now. What a waste.

 

[The Butcher]

Well that went pretty much how everyone thought it would go. That was a pretty tough period of hockey to watch.

Out hit 23 to 12. Yikes. Pretty much name a stat they didn't get creamed in.

Still lots of time for things to turn around in a 4 game series but this isn't trending well so far.

 

[Esteban Tornado]

Easy for EDM to goon it up when they know there is no accountability from the ref’s

 

[bouncesonly]

Nurse laughing at Durzi is humiliating

Who wouldn’t?

 

[DyslexicTom]

I still can't believe that management saw firsthand that McLellan coached a choking Sharks team and said, yup, that's our guy right there. The rot is from the top.

 

[Byfield]

It’s pretty embarrassing to ice such a soft team after those 2012 and 2014 teams we had

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

This team plays like a bunch of p*****s. Edmonton is grabbing us the p*ssy. It's not a surprise, we are lead by the biggest p*ssy in the entire league in Tmac.

Can't wait for the off-season where we do nothing in the front office.

Kostin going after Lizotte. Nurse laughing at Durzi. Who can we sign from the Federal league? I’d take Jeff Cowan at this point.

 

[kingsfan28]

In the meantime Stutzle looks fantastic.

He'd be getting manhandled too. Hell, RNH would be in his face every shift.

 

[Bandit]

The real kicker will be when korpisalo and Gavrikov say “f*** this” and bolt 7/1.

 

[Sol]

I just don’t know how you can be a man and let them hit you like this. If they’re cheap shotting doughty then of cheap shot McDavid

 

[SherVaughn30]

If I were TMac during the intermission, I would tell the team wake the F up, ramp up the intensity like this is an elimination game and shoot the puck while stop playing cute with the puck.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

how do you miss that crap when drew has the puck/?

Oh they saw it.

 

[Herby]

Guys don’t worry according

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.

I’m making excuses, because I don’t think it’s 100% his fault?

His team is not nearly as good as the other team. That is more on the GM than the coach.

This team was wrong to start trading a bunch of 1sts and prospects, this wasn’t a contending roster. This is a Dave Taylor/Andy Murray team, right down to the game 7 losses to fool the fanbase.

 

[DoktorJeep]

No fear, Deadlardi and Fialason are due back any day now.
