[Vote4Lubo]

The Kings collectively tucked their peepees between their legs.

Maybe it’s better for us to get embarassed so Blake HAS to do something. Fire Todd, trade all those redundants players, do not resign players that should be retiring. Blake is the one to blame here, too much of doing nothing ruined the season.

If Blake continues to be in charge of the next phase we will have no hope.

 

[Sol]

We live in LA. Land of the p***yes!

Yup it’s complete stupidity. Take them out. f*** that. If they aren’t going to take out the oilers than I’d love to see this poor excuse of men to get taken out by the oilers.

 

[Herby]

Dumba’s hit was a 2 minute penalty where Pavelski unfortunately hit his head on the ice. If anyone had said you wanted to hit McDavid hard nobody would take any offense. No way on Earth was that a deliberate attempt to injure hit.

The Kings are playing Seattle or Winnipeg if they drafted Stutzle.

and still getting manhandle. both teams are still tougher.

 

[The Pale King]

Perhaps I’m optimistic, but I think with Fiala and Vilardi we have the skill to take the Oilers on. Human wave tactics to overcome the physicality that makes up most of their rosters’ threat.

But right now we are toothless without our scoring depth, and now that the Oilers learned how to defend, this hockey is pointless boring drek.

Agreed. The drop off between the Oilers number 4 and 5 scorers is 40 points. Kings would match up a lot better with Villardi and Fiala out there.

 

[Sol]

Im taking this game, not the season. You think Stutzle would have 3 points right now in this game? Every forward except kopi is getting hit.

Fiala would be getting hit and he’s infinitely better than any player. Byfield is a bust and he’s not doing shit. I’d rather have Stutzle get hit and be doing something as well.

 

[Jungle Boy]

Drew would get 4 for retaliation, because thats when the ref stopped looking away.

He could get a game misconduct and two games, I don’t care but act like a man

 

[Reaper45]

Next game MacEwen plays he goes crazy, Oilers play super passive and get tons of PP’s. Kings play timid following game, Oilers put them through the wall. It’s going to cycle I have a feeling.

Losing in the first round might not even be the worst thing to happen this off-season. Might be seeing Gavrikov and Korpisalo walk. Unless Blake makes up for it by trading Durzi for a 1st or something.

I wish Turcotte was ready to do war. And I tought 6'6" Helenius was supposed to be a monster that could play. Could sure use size and some nasty.

Nurse is a TPOS and is just roughing on Grundtrom and then crosscehecks. How are those not penalties?

 

[bland]

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

There was nothing wrong with the reffing in that period.

 

[DyslexicTom]

This is a black hole team

 

[HookKing]

Faust we need more brilliant analysis like that, don't hold back.

I’m all about bringing in the Finn

 

[chris kontos]

Faust sez "i feel we were at a physical disadvantage in that period"
No shit sherlock

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Looks like men playing teenagers

 

[Bandit]

Here comes the shorty

 

[Byfield]

Good job QB

Drew that penalty

Now score!

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Durzi throws a pizza up the middle

 

[Bandit]

Kopitar in the slot. Passes. What a snatch.

 

[Herby]

and still getting manhandle. both teams are still tougher.

I know, Stutzle wouldn’t do a thing in the playoffs, it’s to physical for him, just like many here said about Caufield.

No use giving context @Herby, they won't pay attention

 

[kingsboy11]

Kopi in the middle of slot just deciding not to shoot the puck

 

[kingsfan28]

Here comes the shorty

mcdavid isn't out yet

 

[Reaper45]

Doughty shouldn’t be on PP 1.
