Did the Oilers run out of gas? They looked unbeatable in that first period, in retrospect were they running high on adrenaline?

Hands tightened on sticks. It's one of those games they should have been up like 5-0. When it doesn't happen doubt creeps in

This he needs to get paid by the Kings. Guy is so very good

Him and Korpi must be resigned!

They were definitely running high on adrenaline and feeding off the home crowds energy as well in the first there as the arena was buzzing with energy . Kings started to hit back in the 2nd and 3rd . Game finished 50-49 in hits in favor of the Oilers but it began 25-12 in the 1st period .

I'm not sure if it's been highlighted enough.

Kings actually lost the draw, but Arvidsson made a great play to gain possession. And that's on top of him blocking shots, making the play on the game tying goal, and game winning goal.

He was amazing down the stretch and in OT.

Bieksa picked that up right away in the post game. Good analysis, gave arvy a lot of props

No team has had more handed to them than the Oilers.

3 straight 1st overall picks. 4 in 6 years. Including one of the most hyped prospects of all time.

The Oilers post game thread should be required reading, don't be like that

And for some odd reason Bedard will end up there as well. LOL. Goodness I hate the Oilers.

That was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Tie one up late and win in OT - those dont happen too often - and in the playoffs. But I hope TMac doesnt feel confidence with his 3rd pairing.. I think something needs to be done .. maybe mix up the pairs in the 3rd so its not Edler/Durzi. He was just getting slower and slower toward the end... its a big liability... i think they lucked out when McDavid was out there vs those guys that many times.

 

[Kingkopitar]

I only get to watch the highlights as I live out of country, but Arrvidson seems to be in on a lot of the action and Durzi on a lot of the goals against. I am assuming that is an accurate assessment.

This sweet little 2-on-1 break up by Gavrikov lead directly to the backhand goal by Kempe.

 

[Choralone]

Oiler fans probably angry Doughty wasn't called for a slew foot.

that might be the coolest thing they ever posted. Id pay extra to hear them talk shit in the lockeroom

 

[ru4reals]

That's freakin awesome to see. Let's hope they'll be doing this after the clinching game. If it ever happens.

Not a slight on Byfield but if Byfield had Lizottes heart then he’d be unstoppable. I love Lizotte because regardless of his size, he won’t take shit. David vs Goliath.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I already knew Oilers fans were going to do a bunch of whining about penalties and after game 1 they certainly did not dissapoint.

Even going so far as to throwing a bunch of shit on to the ice.

What a bunch of Marys!
