And had the oilers won in OT the other guy would’ve had basically the exact same save percentage, I know it’s your thing to rail on him, but neither goa,ie was posting a good save percentage tonight and doesn’t mean much in a game like that.
Kempe is stoning the best players in hockey. Not exactly the same. Wonder what Stu Skinner would look like against this club? just go to a practice. A shooter tutor would fare better.

The Oil didn't have their a-game today, sloppy and lazy at times, and still got a point. I'll take it. Let that give the Kings a false sense of confidence.

Worst part is all the “fans” that will jerk it to No Hands Foegele
LA broadcast crew was fapping away for sure. Apparently one of the first things he said upon arriving in the capital of crass was to tell everyone to circle 12/28 on the calendar.

Really? Why? That guy was treated better than he deserved by Oil fans and well paid by the team. WTF does he have to be bitter about? He was the after game interview but when I saw his puffy face come into focus I knew I couldn’t bear to hear any of the words that were about to come out of his stupid mouth so I switched off.

And Byfield looking like a kid playing gangster with his throat slitting gesture. Oilers need to take that personally.

The three Oiler clowns for the night:

:dunce: Henrique
:dunce: :dunce: Skinner
:dunce: :dunce: :dunce: Bouchard

Kuemper had by far the more difficult night though. Skinner didn't come up with one big save. Case in point would be the Kings 3rd goal and then the similar chance for Hyman that Keumper made the save on on.

Not taking this game seriously because this ALWAYS happens the first game against the kings. Refs completely side with them to give those fans hope that this year is different.

But I'd like to say, Jeff Jackson signing these small guys was really stupid.

Would rather play the Kings in the first round then Vegas or even the Casucks. Its getting monotonous but I don’t see the Kings as much of a threat.

Kind of had enough of this inter divisional playoff crap the first 2 rounds, it was better before. Get sick of seeing the same teams play each other most years, see them play each other enough in the regular season.

He's old enough to be drinking with these moms. Whoops, sorry, thats Corey Perry's job. Man, gotta be awkward having these moms weekends.

This post made strictly tongue in cheek and not meant to harm any moms anywhere.
I wonder if the whole “mom’s weekend” thing was a distraction. I think it bit them in the ass another year too.

I seldom do this but a rare time I'll critique a McD game. Really only noticeable on PP. Quiet game, forcing plays, giving up puck. Not a great game from Hyman either. Seemed like what the OIlers were getting was mostly from Drai line.

Oilers have been tempting fate with just good enough efforts for a couple weeks and winning close games. Bit them today. Stellar work from the D, some of them, though. Thought Emberson, Kulak, Ekholm had decent games, not really the rest...

WTF is it with booing great players? I don't get it. You'd think a fanbase that got Gretz from us would understand not to do this. Did they boo Michael Jordan coming into town?

Lets not fib LA fans. Without the Oilers you'd be less than a footnote. Only reason for a sellout really. Its not to see your tired club.

They booed Gretzky and Orr too. They sometimes go to the LA airport and boo safe landings.

I was going to specifically ask about Orr too.

Wasn't until the 3rd period where these Kings fans figured they should be booing Drai. he's the one usually killing ya.

Kings had no answer for Drai. Even with him playing with hand me downs the line had it going. They simply have no forward taking puck away from Drai anymore. They try...
