No no. He just sucks a little less because that matters.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

PLD has to the be the worst player in the league in terms of contract to value ratio.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING – GAME 2 AGAINST THE WORST FANBASE IN THE ENTIRE NHL
'OILERS WIN GAME !? ACTIVATE CALIFORNIA REFFING!' EDITION
2nd PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS - 2 of 3

PERRY TAKES A PENALTY

• This is some bad officiating right here.
• Only Doughty is allowed to run into goalies.
• Misses the slash lol
• Horrible penalty call, Perry's stick slashed out of his hands then tripped causing him to fall forward. Horrible call
• f*** these f***ing refs!
• Stick slashed out of his hands and then they call him for that, lmao.
  Doughty ran over the goalie even worse than that.
• Wow how is that not a trip?!
• Ever since they didn’t call the hand on the puck in the crease they’ve gone out of their way to obviously favor the kings.
  The too many men whistled but not called
  The slash on Perry’s stick
  The trip on Nuge on that 2 on 2.
  Just blatantly obvious.
• f*** out of here you close your eyes on a clear too many men and call that bs
• Weak sauce
• Oilers win game 1? Activate California reffing!
• Refs forgot the playoffs started last game, now "evening" it up
• Kings hung Talbot out to dry on that breakaway.
• No interference there huh ref?
• Can’t make a play right now. LA just waiting for us to give it back to them.
• We're seeing the problems with going 3 for 4 on the powerplay last game.
  Refs arent calling anything now.
• That one stung doughty
• Kane crushing guys with a f***ing hernia? What's everyone else's excuse.

OILERS SCORE

• Hollywood
• Beautiful shot Hollywood
• HOLLOWAY HAS ARRIVED!
• Hollywood! Congrats on your 1st ever playoff goal kid!
• There ya go. Shoot on this sieve. Great shot Holloway.
• Talbot baby!
• That’s right. Gotta shoot on a shaky goalie
• Put that kid on a scoring line. What a snipe!
  Hollywood!
• K stop being negative now. Have some fun. We got this.
• Talbot is nothing special... just keep pucks on net... they'll go in
• HOLLYWOOD SCORES ON HOLLYWOOD
• I was a Holloway doubter. Forgive me, for I have sinned.
• Laferriere is the name of a player in NHL 2012 that is a slight spelling adjustment to make EA sports seem like they created a new player name.
• He’s leaky. Shoot shoot shot and then shoot some more

KINGS TAKE A PENALTY

• Surprised they called a penalty, tie it up, let's go
• Weak call. They need to capitalize 'cause they won't get many more.
• Man, the Kings are a bunch of p***yes.
• Nice stop from Talbot, nice puck movement
• Where was that glove in 2017.
• The Kings have a game day thread, you'll feel more at home
• Nah clear cut interference Drai nowhere near the puck
• Are they going to let them do that to McDavid?

HYMAN SCORE ON THE PP

• ZACK ATTACK!!!!!!!
• Why didn’t Talbot save that?
• Hyman's the f***ing man
• Motherf***er that was besutiful
• Oooooh its beautiful. Eat that queens
• HYMANNNNNNNNN EAT SHIT TALBOT, GO f*** YOURSELVES KINGS!
• Oh we're definitely pouring one out for the homies
• HymaaaaaaAaAAAAAaaaaaannnNNNNNNnnnnnnn
• Even up. Keep doing it like we're doing it now. Stop taking these guys lightly and keep outworking them.
• Hyman with a Cam-shot that breaks LA will to resist. lol
• 
• Told you assholes Oilers were coming back.
  Can also confirm that beer is so f***ing delicious
• KiNgS pLaY tHe OnE tHrEe OnE
• suck it kings you bunch of assholes
• What the hell you guys told me this game/series was over like 20 minutes ago
• We've got a few more tricks up our sleeve
• Old man Talbot was a minute late in sliding across..
• Dubois is so soft. Getting outmuscled by Ceci.
• 3 different Kings take a shot at McDavid after the whistle and no penalty but the refs have no issue with pulling Perry out of the pile when the Oilers do anything late. The officiating in this series isn’t close to being as bad as it was in the first 3 games of last years series but it isn’t close to being down the middle.
• I hate that poor teams are allowed to get away with so much more obstruction.
• LA can’t feel good giving up that lead. They’re shook right now. Time to put them away.
• Hopefully the Kings used up their hail Mary lucky crap goals
• 
• Skinner vs Cam, the Suck Championship.

OILERS TAKE A PENALTY

• Nice dive bro
• Diving works in California
• Soft f***ing call again damn. Gotta start falling down easy I guess
• Nothing dumb penalty by Perry.
  You in Edmonton, you can’t cheat anymore buddy.
• what a f***in dive. Kidding me.
• Perry, you’re an Oiler now. That shit gets called against you, not for you.
• Dive from PLD. Otherwise it's the same as the one that Drai drew.
• Horrific officiating tonight
• That's a Cali call
• Nice dive by pld. Perry can't get his stick there though.
• All the non calls and they call that.
• Stupid by Perry but come on. That’s embellishment all day
• f***ing Dubois is good for something
• We know the Kings dive and fold in situations like this.
• I mean sure it's a dive but don't put your stick there.
• Bad call or not, that is completely unnecessary to take, Perry.
• PLD so lazy he can’t even dive on time. 2 seconds behind the actual hook he goes down.
• Cant do that, Kings are a bunch of filthy divers and will take any oppurtunity they get.
  Sucks the refs havent caught up to it yet.
• That's quite the call lol
• Might have been a good time to give PL Dubois an embellishment penalty. That was ridiculous.
• Now you'll remember these officials. They are awful
• Yea that's a dive. Perry called for being Perry.
• Pretty cheap calls on us
• That's a game management call.
• Dive isn't a penalty anymore?
• Imagine that being a penalty when they’ve ignored 10+ blatant penalties like too many men, slashing the stick out of Oerry’s hands. Tripping Nuge on a sure goal, etc.
  Pure make up bullshit.
• Kings can throw 8 punches by 3 guys with no retaliation but that gets called...mmmm ok
• Another dive
• Can I see a f***en penalty replay for once sportsnet.
• (Arvidsson) He’s good at diving too
• (Arvidsson) That flop in the first should get him a fine.
• Lot of subjectivity in the officiating
• Hit that Monkey Anderson.

ROY TAKES A DUMB PENALTY

• MAKE THEM PAY!
• give them the dagger here
• Please make them pay. PLEASE.
• we make roy
• How intimidating it must be to see oilers in a huddle before a pp.
• Talbot you sick f***
• Holy f*** what a save.
  Respek
• Talbot with the save of his life.
• Dear gawd how did he make that pass and good save from Talbot
• What a save. Kings PK looks like the Keystone Cops spinning around in circles trying to make a play
• Talbot actually making saves
  f*** off
• IF the Kings win this game, unless they have a big 3rd, you can pin it on goaltending.
• At least the intermission should be about the oilers. Right? Right?
• Keep pressing. We're the better team. Eventually Talbot will break.
• Kings lucky to escape that period tied.
  Credit to Cam though. Big saves.
• The good news is I don't think Talbot will play to this level for four games. Even with his play Oilers are taking this one.
• Well, that’s when you bet next goal Kempe at like +1100 and take the easy money lol
• #1 question in LA is where is Fiala. Its apt. He's just awful. Doing nothing. Kings don't even have the PP with him on ice. No way he should be on a first unit PP.
• Kings fan coming in peace. How have the Oilers not won a few cups with McDavid by now. He single handed makes our Kings his bitch. We can’t even get a shot off on our PP. (wtf @Gjwrams )
• I really need to stop coming here during the game, some of you guys are insufferable and ruin the game.
• Honestly Perry probably not used to the Oilers Ref Bias. On other teams he probably gets away with that tug they called a hook.
• Luckily for the Oilers PLD has been the worst player on the ice for either team
• Alright- game is in the balance, time for some god mode McJesus.
• Refs have been calling it both ways. It was an actual tug. Byfield got a first period penalty for his having his stick barely touching an Oiler.
  But the penalty where Perry ran Talbot is a penalty anywhere in any league. Gotta be smarter than that.
• I meant to have 2 ounces
  Turned out to be 8. Oh well!!
• 
• Whatever happens for the love of god have it settled in the 3rd, don’t want to stay up later than I am right now

 

[Kingsfan1]

Just another thought. I don't think we will see Kopitar AND Doughty have back-to-back games like the one we saw last night. Other players are going to have to step up.

Hopefully, Byfield will do it.

Im hoping Fiala and Dubois step up and are the difference makers in game 3 . A goal from Danaults line would be nice too

 

[tny760]

• I hate that poor teams are allowed to get away with so much more obstruction.

holy-o-f*** the lack of self-awareness. oilers in the o zone is obstruction city, looks like an NBA game

 

[redcard]

Damn, it’s literally library in there when the Kings score. I wish it was the same at Crypto when the opponents score. Unfortunately the loser ass resellers will hand the tickets to these punk ass Oiler fans

I hate that the most. If season ticket holders sell to the opponents fans than they should lose their seats.

The individual ticket holders don’t. It’s the corporate ticket holders that resell them.

How about you guys pay for this shit and just eat the cost when you can't go because you don't know who is going to buy them haha. It's not like you get to interview potential buyers first.

Also, it's a big city and other team's fans buy tickets direct from the Kings. This isn't some bumf*** town like Edmonton with dorks getting tattoos on the concourse.

Revisiting this discussion, there are still 31 seats available in my section on AXS for tomorrow night's game, only 6 of them are resale. 25 of them are still being sold by the team. (The team has sold 5 since last night's game ended).

There will be a bunch of Oiler fans there tomorrow, but it has nothing to do with resellers.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING – GAME 2 AGAINST THE WORST FANBASE IN THE ENTIRE NHL
'SKINNER SUCKS COCK' EDITION
3rd PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS - 3 of 3

• Nurse tripped or fell?
• How the f*** is that not called? Kempe takes out Nurse's feet and it's right in front of the f***ing refs.
• I don’t like our chances in OT. Please score.
• I think we would match up slightly better against Vegas than Dallas so meh.

FIALA FINALLY DOES SOMETHING IN THE POST SEASON - SHOOTS FROM RIGHT FIELD AND SCORES!

• Not winning this with Skinner
• Pull Skinner now. The guy is garbage. Costing this team games every single time he's in the net.
• All of a sudden.... That happens in a ties game when someone scores, Singh
• Yeah that is a real deflater of a goal..
• Louie trying to pump that goal as some kind of great shot is puke worthy. What a shit goal.
• Dagger right there. FFS.
• Everyone is on me because I said I have no faith in Skinner now. Now you all know I'm right.
• Is it to late to call up Campbell.....
• Utter garbage goal to give up. My patience is starting to wear thin with Skinner
• Skinner sucks cock
• That was an absolute horrendous goal. He was up towards the blue line against the wall. Terrible
• Ladies and Gentleman, Stuart Skinner
• Louie's favourite player, Mikey Anderson.
• Outscored 8-4 5v5 in just over 7 periods.

HOLLOWAY SCORES AGAIN

• f*** yeah.
  This kid is dy no mite.
• HOLLYWOOD!
• Skinner sucks admit it
• Did Holloway just break out?
• Two worst goalies in the playoffs
• (Dylan motherf***ing Holloway) Gonna make my wife call me this during sex!
• Hollywood's got it, f***ing huge
• I am very much in favor of a Holloway hat trick game winner.
• Hollywood has arrived baby, to kill Hollywood
• Holy f***. What a snipe. Didn’t even see a wind up.
  Hollywoods arrived! 8.5Mx8 incoming.
• Dylan motherf***ing Holloway
• Wooooo!
  “And The Oiler fans are so happy” just made me spit my drink out.
• Dylan....
• 
• We are effing lucky Talbot plays like Skinner
• Shout out to the poster who said we’d need five or six to win with Skinner in net
• Holloway, what a monster, he shoots like Stamkos. He's gonna pot 30 goals one day.
• I’d be seriously tempted to start Pickard next game. I think his calm game plays better against LA’s unorthodox attack
• Start laying out their guys. Geez.
• I can’t even with Skinner anymore. What the f*** was that, diving out of the way of the shot??
• I seriously might die boys .
• That hit from Byfield looked late
• Late as hell on that hit by byfield. f*** that guy.
• Every shot on goal is ass pucker time now f***
• Every LA shot has me on the edge of my seat. Wish I had more faith in Skinner.
• This game is much like camping, intense lol
• Jack Campbell with 5 GA against LA's AHL affiliate. He is not the answer lol
• Kopi blatantly holding Kulak’s stick
• For quite some time and so obvious. f'n refs.
• Open season clutch and grab on McDavid.
• They are holding the stick like every play. It’s driving me bonkers.

DANAULT TAKES A HUGE (COMPLETELY LEGAL) HIT BY HYMAN (while bending down for the puck)

• Hyman, amazing hit
• Pulsating
• Are you kidding me. Hyman rocked him.
• World rocker. Not sure who got Danault.
• Danault gets ROCKED. Eye for an eye motherf***ers.
• I f***ing love Hyman so much
• Take a f***ing seat you backpack loser.
• Hyman concusses that French f***. LFG
• Danaultgot his lunch money jacked for the week
  What a hit Hyman!
• Hymans shoulder looked good on Danault's face
• Everyone keeps telling me Danault is so good. 3 series deep and I don’t think he’s made one play that’s impressed me.
• Now do Moore!
• Concussion protocol
  Do you know your name?
  Dunno
  He’s fine
• Biggest hit of Hymans career probably, who knew he had that in his game too.
• I will not complain about the refs
  I will not complain about the refs
  I will not complain about the refs
  I will not complain about the refs
  I will not complain about the refs
• Kings abandoned the 1-3-1. Could be good or bad. They play better without it imo.
• LA Hooking and holding at will now. Refs not calling anything I guess.
• I wanna see Doughty lose another tooth by the end of the series
• I don’t think McD is done tonight. Not after that bullshit hit by Bustfield.

Connor McDavid Holding against Pierre-Luc Dubois

• And the refs call that. F u refs!
• After everything they've let go, they call that.
• Atrocious call
• Good f***ing god. They’ve called every possible ticky tack shit on the oilers all game.
• What a farce, sure no penalties before that though
• This is why Canadian teams can't win the cup
• If that's a penalty the Kings would never leave the box.
• f*** off. Getting Bettman’d tonight.
• f*** offffffffff all the non-calls and that? f***ing bullshit
• Insane that McDavid himself wouldn’t draw that penalty but yet he will get called for it. No “Lebron treatment” in the NHL, that’s for sure
• Cali reffing
• Got even the series to make more money
• Of course the refs are gonna job us. No big surprise.
• Kings getting away with everything. Then they call that weak ass shit.
• Holding how?
• All that Dubois is good for apparently, drawing lame penalties
• Oh are we calling penalties again?
• "No question on that one"
  Shut the f*** up debrusk
• “I just wanted to get a call on McDavid in a tie game late in the third.”
• Officials aren't letting the Oilers go up 2
• McDavid needs to flop like Lebron.
• I've been watching hockey for over 40 years and still don't understand the officiating rules ffs
• Byfield with a gold chain with his first initial Q, lol. Turd.
• Need to score now or you know LA is gonna get some ticky-tack bullshit goal in OT.
• Palms so f***in sweaty right now.
• Please finish this in regulation. I have next to no confidence in Skinner in OT
• Is Singh happy that Philip Danault is okay from that time Hyman hit Philip Danault and appeared to shake up Philip Danault.

OT COMETH, OT TAKETH

• SUDDEN DEATH
• I am never confident that we will win on ot
• The Oilers look dead ass tired, or just playing extra cautious. Either way, this pace plays perfectly into L.A.'s hands.
• Doesn't help when La gets 30 hooks for each Oilers hook.
• At least we get a point!
• Have bed time now, hoping for a win when i wake up.
• Didn't love that period. Felt like the Kings carried most of the play.
  LA emptied the tank for this game though. Real opportunity to gut punch them here.
• Oilers fortunate Fiala is on Kings PP and that PP is awful. Kings zero for 7 now on PP. Fiala still glued on it. Its hilarious.
• Friedman- "LA deserves the game"
• Lol Elliotte. Yes LA deserves the game with 3 lame goals.
• This game has a Corey Perry game winner written all over it
• Hrudey calls Fiala. lmao with the winner. hooboy. Fiala who has done nothing in the series but take a shot from the boards that shouldn't go in.
• Oilers deserve an OT PP right away
• Mcdavid please end this early cause the longer it goes the chances of the Kings winning go up
• Hopefully the Oilers are ready to start the period. Kings will come out hard and be tossing pucks at the net.
• Let’s not have a repeat of that one OT where the kings just overwhelm and put it in on the first shift. Need to come out flying.

KOPI SCORES OT WINNER! WAS THAT A TIP PASS FROM BYFIELD!?

• Skinner didn’t make a single big save.
  f***ing loser
• Start Pickard.
• f***s sakes
• First chance in. Of course.
• wtf I hate overtime now
• It's a series boys. Let's learn from this.
• Can't win with goalies like Skinner. He never makes a save.
• I’m done watching this loser lose us games by himself
• We're not winning a f***ing thing with Skinner in net.
• Oh yeah really happy, just admit he sucks donkey balls
• I have no idea how you get away with trolling the board like this.
• Hall of Fame shot. But shaky goaltending and team d breakdown gives one away.
• Talbot made some big saves. Skinner did not.
• f***. Actually Byfield batted that to Kopitar leaving him open like that.
• Sportsnet cuts off the hand in crease replay right before the hand touches the puck.

BTW big ups to this dude at the game. If you work with a dude like this you just nod and let him be.

Revisiting this discussion, there are still 31 seats available in my section on AXS for tomorrow night's game, only 6 of them are resale. 25 of them are still being sold by the team. (The team has sold 5 since last night's game ended).

There will be a bunch of Oiler fans there tomorrow, but it has nothing to do with resellers.

If anyone wants to complain about a season ticket holding fan selling their seats, I would hope they are also season seat holders. Until the money is where the mouth is, the opinion is worthless and not based in reality.

Bag of chips cost six bucks but let me throw away a hundred bucks because an opposing team's fan *might* be the buyer of the seat and that fan (or a couple of them) might be the loudest fan of all-time that will turn the tide of the game with their powerful cheering. C'mon now hahaha.

Just to calm fears, I sold two of my tickets directly to a Kings fan I met a couple of years ago at a game after he bought some of my seats on StubHub. If Kings fans buy my seats and they seem cool, I let them know they can just hit me up directly and we'll cut out the middleman to avoid fees.

Any of you monsters can always PM me on here as well if you are interested.

You missed the guy on the concourse tattooing crowns on fans' asses on opening night in 2013?

You're not a real fan! Always a pleasure reading your stuff BK.

Tremendous awareness and skill shown by Byfield on that play.

 

[lumbergh]

It was a perfectly clean hit, don't whine about it like Oiler fans.

I think I pissed in bland’s cereal this morning.

You too, bud.

To be fair, I thought that the Kings might have done some stupid tattoo thing at some point as well but the point stands haha.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

holy-o-f*** the lack of self-awareness. oilers in the o zone is obstruction city, looks like an NBA game

In the NBA they call the moving picks

 

[Schmooley]

In the NBA they call the moving picks

Yea Draisaitl every powerplay makes a little pass and sets a moving pick then sneaks off to his soft spot for a seam pass.
I will make a thread on the main board and cry about it and make twitter tweets about the conspiracy for Edmonton to win the cup. Then cry about it some more.
Id want McDavid to win a cup if those fans werent so whiny.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Unbelievable. These Oilers fans are still bickering about the refs... Get. A. f***ing. Life.

'Maybe the refs actually make some calls vs the Kings this time? f***ing joke of a league.'

 

[Bandit]

He's last on the team in CF%, FF%, SCF%, 2nd to last in xGF% and HDCF%, all while starting in the offensive zone the most of any center on the team and while primarily being matched up against Ryan McLeod.

Yeah but how has he performed on Wednesday’s during a waxing gibbous against one legged violinist’s???

Unbelievable. These Oilers fans are still bickering about the refs... Get. A. f***ing. Life.
