As much as people want to call out Smith he's made some massive saves to keep them in it and has a .940 in the playoffs so far.

The Oilers play in spurts. When they feel like turning it on they are very hard to contain. No consistency though.

Yeah, hard to blame their 40 year old goalie who's being asked to make saves like that one on Kempe. It was literally a breakaway chance and the 2 Oilers backchecking didn't get to the rebound nor Kempe who basically had an open net to shoot at from the opposite circle as Iafallo shot from.

Evander Kane turns it over and the King win :laugh:

Imagine being able to start Draisaitl and McDavid in OT in the playoffs and they start it like that? Just completely pinned in their zone running around and then the on the fly change results in a turnover and it's in the net :laugh:
They should be so much better and just aren't.

What a mess of a team.

I hope Woodcroft is renting, it's not fair but if they bow out to the Kings he is probably not going to be retained.
You would have to think that coaching in Edmonton despite the mess would be pretty enticing to Trotz. Especially considering the success he had with Ovi.

An Oiler 1st round exit may not be good for Jets fans wanting Trotz in Winnipeg.

I want the Leafs to win. Can't stand teams that are circumventing the Cap plus you already are in Florida to begin with so you can get player to come for the lifestyle and tax breaks. Sure the fan base for the leafs is toxic at best but f*** the Lightening

The Oilers/Kings series I would liked to have seen a Oilers/Flames second round matchup but man they are still the one dimensional team that we played last year. I will be shocked if they pull it out in LA
