Around the league part 2

Now he's -14.

Puck bounces off him into the net.

When it's going bad, it's going real bad.

There is a definite odor emanating from Nurse - and it aint good

3 man forecheck is completely unwinding the oilers weak defense. Who wudda thunk?

On a side note, the Stars have got to be the the lock for the cup. They have talent and steadiness all through the line up and they’re moving well

Can you not challenge that for goalie interference? Perry pulled Suter's stick so he fell on top of the goalie.

EDM came back hard, thought they might foldmonton

Draisaitl is so, so lame. Should call that embellishment.

 

[kingsboy11]

this game is literally the opposite of last game

 

[AbsentMojo]

Both Van and Dallas shutdown EDM PP - Kings were like 50% - we were right there!

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Jeez 4 unanswered

shameless soccer level acting

 

[lumbergh]

Well at least the Kings didn't go into minus territory on their power play. "We were right there."

EDM was 50% on the PP against Vancouver through the first 4 games. (5 for 10)

But the last 3 games they went 1 for 10.

Tochet and his assts >> Koala left overs

For a playoff year where we've seen more embellishment call than any other, the guy continues to get away with it in every series.

Gutsy win by the Oilers, no way do they win that game in years past, they lose, go down 3-1 and lose in 5.

This cancels out game 2, what a great series.

And no disrespect to any of the great ones in the last three decades, but McDavid to me is very clearly the most dominant player since Lemieux in the 90's. Generating scoring chances is not supposed to be this easy in hockey.

Jagr? Crosby? I would put those two ahead of him, unless you are talking about just pure pure offense

man the worst thing for the Kings would be an Edmonton Cup

not because i hate them, but becasue BLuc will use that as validation

see we were right there, just an unlucky matchup

They will do that regardless of how far Edmonton goes, just like the past two seasons when Kings-Oilers was “the real Western Conference Final” despite the latter winning 0 actual WCF games.

That being said, an Edmonton Cup would indeed be terrible.

For shtts and giggles, submitted my Utah NHL names in a poll....didn't make any to be voted on...but had to drop some of these, camoflauged with some more real sounding names...otherwise, would be outright rejected. It kind of worked, as it was not reported or deleted. Better yet, I got the most I've ever received...but, not sure what name moved them the most.

Utah Wind
Utah Icing
Utah Mouth Breathers
Utah Breeders
Utah Craze

I'm hoping for a late push, to make any other poll. Or at least, get it out there.
I asked someone that was making mockups of some of the names. if they would
make some for these. LOL. I want to see Mouth Breathers and Breeders the most, of course.

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

This is pretty cool.

Nurse on the ice for another goal against.

He's -13. No one else on the team is in negative double digits.

Do you or anyone know his strength of competition and D-zone starts compared to his teammates? I don't trust +/- alone

Jagr? Crosby? I would put those two ahead of him, unless you are talking about just pure pure offense

Jagr maybe I would put ahead but hard to be certain as we lost a lot of his NHL years.
I think prime McDavid > prime Crosby. Really though it's first world problems.

 

[SmytheKing]

This is pretty cool.

Even after over 40 years of footage and analysis of the guy, it's still hard to fathom how much better Gretzky was than everyone else. It doesn't make any sense at all.

Such a great series versus the Russians. Very very fortunate as a 9 year old to be able to go to Game 3. My brother was able to score tickets through a connection. Lucky guy was also at game 2 which was the double OT game.

We sat in the upper level about halfway up in those ugly yellow, red and orange seats.

Amazing those games were in my hometown (about 15 minute drive from my house) and memories that will last a life time. I remember the building being warm and the place was absolutely jumping. Just end to end scoring chances, the talent on both teams was incredible. Was a treat to watch the Russians, they had some silky smooth guys who could distribute the puck.
