GDT: 2024-25 season game 76 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @1:00pm 4/5/25

Trevor literally unplayable Lewis doing his best to bring the oilers back

Doesn’t do an easy dump in
Falls
Missing his check
Two soft turnovers and a fall in his own zone

I could give the Kings the exact same 30 seconds what are we doin there

But he scored! (an empty netter)
 
After going on a bit of a tear, Byfield has no goals in the last 7 games. Poor guy is going to be stuck at 19 goals until the end of the season, just like last year.
 
Its a Win but I sure didn't like the slow start to the last 2 games...lets get that figured out before the Playoffs start or else it could be bothersome and deadly

F you, Lewis!

P.S. I never thought I'd say this, but I cannot wait until Jeannot and Turcotte are back and the Kings can have a great 4th line again.
Seriously. We'll have to get both of them back on the 4th line if we want to have a chance against Edmonton. Lewis and Malott back there just ain't gonna cut it, depth makes a team go far in the post season.
 
Just saw a replay of Goodrow's slew foot on Crysaitl, looks like it messed him up pretty good. McDavid is probably gonna be close to 100% for the 1st round though, feel like he could almost singlehandedly take us down.

The 4th line has been very good even with the absences.

Very good is a stretch. Its been solid. Hiller doesnt trust them enough to play them in the third period in close games. Maybe one shift. At most he will take a winger from that line and insert em next to a center and Laferierre after a special teams situation and give Lewis some shifts late to hold a lead. But he isnt rolling 4 lines like he was with Jeannot and Turcotte.

Its time to send Lewis to the "Glue" factory and I don't care if he gets put out the last minute to defend a lead a Broken stick and Fire hydrant can do that

Somebody may need to do a wellness check on RJ.

That was an easy, decisive win.

"easy"

0/4 on the PP
Oilers embarrassingly outshot and out chanced us even without all of their best players and a .900 career journeyman in net

I said before the game I was more interested in the process than the result...the result was 'fine.' The process was awful. There's nothing encouraging in that game to be found going forwards vs. a healthy oilers other than Kuemper being nuts. Kings got pushed around and largely outplayed vs. a completely decimated team at home.
