Give the C to Lizotte, he shows more heart than Kopitar.

 

[Reaper45]

I’m so over this “no one touches Mr. Kopitar” bullshit. He’s one of the biggest guys on the team. Go out there and do something with it. This is possibly it for him.

Right? No one treats him with respect like you don’t touch Kopitar, go use that big frame.

 

[Sol]

Too bad he’s like 36 years old

That’s a good thing since the Kings play like little kids getting bullied

 

[jtalton]

Edler Durzi pairing is just ........

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings scored one goal in the last two games versus Edmonton, and got shutout in Game 7 last year where they looked completely lifeless.

This is who they are.

 

[Bandit]

The funny bit will be if the oilers advance and then discover that their goalie problem isn’t actually solved, our offense just sucks.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Korpy keeping Todd from getting fired mid game

 

[LeftKinger]

Effort is there. Oilers are just faster and more physical. Kings also don’t have much in terms of offensive creativity or anyone that can create for themselves with this lineup.

 

[kingsfan28]

bouchard is just skating through untouched shift after shift.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Jesus, Doughty looks bad.

 

[Reaper45]

Blake blew his 1st wad two years in a row so he can’t even pursue a guy like Tom Wilson in the off-season if he wanted to. His draft capital has turned to shit with injuries and guys busting.

 

[bland]

This is what happens when you soft. You start hoping everything instead of bearing down to make crisp plays. So many chances interrupted by just throwing pucks at your teammates a beat too early instead of holding on risking taking a hit to go tape to tape.

 

[kingsfan28]

I don’t know how that was missed

I do, the refs just game the kings a pp.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Kings are just standing around when making or receiving passes.

Its the fog of war when your side is taking the heat and cant return fire

 

[kingsfan28]

maybe the kings should've taken bouchard instead of turcotte.

Fiala was a good trade he’s just hurt lol

I’d call it the fog of Todd.

 

[deaderhead28]

Not upset, I said this team isn't a contender, just a playoff team. First round exist.

 

[Bandit]

You know honestly with Vilardi and Fiala this game could be 2-2 right now. We’ve had powerplay chances.

Throwing away first round picks for first round exists is bad management

this could be true.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Isn’t it incredible how much McDavid is able to get out there with edler

Coaching baby

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kane is a piece of shit.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Can we sacrifice Faust by throwing him down a volcano. Maybe feed Jim to a hill of fire ants by pouring honey in him.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I thought Kane was gonna run the ref lol
