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

I hate Edler at this point lol

 

[Little Psycho]

Edlet is in! Another bad guy according to oilers

 

[kingsfan28]

Those previous two games could have gone either way though. Oilers only scored 1 even strength goal in 6 periods.

How realistic is it to even think the Kings could come out and punch them in the mouth? They don't have the personnel. They're out gunned.

LA's best chance is still to grind it out in a defensive stalemate even if it favors the Oilers to a degree.

McJordan had 3 points in 4 games this year, and his only goal was a shorty in game 4 I think. He had 3 points in the first period vs the Ducks the next night. They just need to contain him and Draisitl enough, which will be hard, but not impossible.

We will put our enemies to the sword
Burn and destroy thier towns and villages
And enjoy listening to the cries and lamentations of thier women

How many points did he have against us in the playoffs last year?

Yes. Ive learned recently on this board, that, statistically, lizotte is very good and a quality 3rd center.
What a load of crap

I was referring to him having the biggest sack on the team. Pretty much just him and Grundstrom.

Todd is officially the dumbest f*** ever to chew gum.

At least hes got some heart

 

[johnjm22]

I want a boring, miserable, low event game, that's decided by a lucky bounce off a shin pad into the net.

[SettlementRichie10]

I'm fully expecting plenty of 1-3-1 and hoping to get a fortunate bounce or two

Ah, yes, the patented Todd McLellan strategy that has brought him so much success.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Broken legs and broken brain on the same d pair?

 

[Ryan120420]

Sigh.

No Vilardi and Fiala. This sucks

 

[Scottkmlps]

F**k me, Elder & Durzi third pairing are going to get absolutely used without being bought dinner first, with the Oilers having last change.

Prepare for an Edmonton ovechtrick.

 

[Trash Panda]

Think Mike Richards in Game 1 in Vancouver.

You spot a team just a nudge or two away from full tilt due to the fans and media who are salivating over themselves that "this is the year for McJordantzky", and you spit in their eye. Its such an advantage. Make them react, this team will not handle it well.

The Kings don’t have a single player capable of making that impact, sadly.

It’s going to be reactionary, emotionless hockey from the Kings for the most part, I wager.

I really would love to be proven wrong & for Kupari or Grundstrom to show up with some series-altering violent play, but there just isn’t anyone on this roster that has that fire.

Makes a guy really wish Turcotte could have even caught a halfway decent break on his health, because that’s about the only player in the organization (maybe Clarke too) who has even a little bit of that “f*** you, I’m here now” attitude.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I'm surprised to see Todd put JAD in over MacEwen as well as Edler with Walker sitting.

 

[chris kontos]

Arty with the hat trick

 

[jgs]

Lets Go Kings!

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Go Kings Go!!!!

 

[kingsfan28]

"Conner Mcdavid this playoffs year has exactly JACK SQUAT!"

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

The Oilers are going to abuse that 3rd pairing

 

[Schmooley]

Who is he playing with? Durzi?
Gotta be kidding. Disaster waiting to happen. Edler cant keep up.
Spot Edmonton a goal because you know one of em will put the puck right on McDavids stick at some point in the game and both will get beat wide all night.
Walker has actually looked better than both of them.
Hoping for the best though!

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Every stream showing bos - fla

Is this gonna be a delayed start?

 

[tny760]

suddenly i remember why i hate how the playoffs are national

f***in waste of 20 minutes overlapping schedules and lying about puck drop time

 

[kingsfan28]

Lizzo is going to be covered in icebags by the end of the game. And so will Mcjordan!
