Edmonton Oilers (P2) vs LA Kings (P3) | LAK lead 1-0

[Three On Zero]

Game 1 will be a fun atmosphere, look it forward to watching these two teams go at it live in the post season

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Deranged.

It’s a scrum. Both players lost their balance and fell down. That’s it.

(Said along the lines of Gimli with his axe in the Orc's nervous system)

Draisaitl lost his balance because Anderson was hanging on to his neck with his leg behind him and wouldn't let go!

Do you seriously think Draisaitl still falls in that manner without a 200lb man hanging off his neck?? come on man.

With no disrespect to the Kings intended, I'm just not worried about losing this series. I know first round upsets happen all the time, but if the Kings win, I consider it a monumental upset. If the Kings win more than one game, I will be quite surprised.

Agreed. I said 5 games because you never know but wouldn't be surprised at a sweep and each game being a blow out. Oilers offense can't be stopped

You said the Oilers would lose to the Kings.

 

[HockeyVirus]

You said the Oilers would lose to the Kings.

Last year? Yeah I did

Aren't the oilers like 1/15 on the PP against LA this year? Thought I saw that stat but could be wrong.

Looking at the last month or so of their schedule was a bit eye opening. They were about 50/50 with teams like Boston, Winnipeg, Vegas. They took two against the injured Kings but both were close games.

I see a lot of bottom feeder wins in that stretch tho.

Reluctantly I still think Oilers are a legit threat. McDavid alone can will them to victory. Just don’t think they are the unbeatable juggernaut many make them out to be.

Lol, check out LAs wins since Jan, all pretty horrid teams except like 5 games.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

LA kings beat the Oilers in round 1

Dated March 19 2023. You’re a liar.

Last year? Yeah I did

 

[dwonger]

And? Nurse is terrible

Healthy Nurse is better than Doughty at everything and has 1 yes,1 pp point.

Nurse is in the top 15 in pretty much every single offensive and defensive stat the last 3 years. ESP, Hits, Blocks, PK time, ES time, plus minus, Pk goals, PK assists, SHP, GWP, GWG, ESG, quality of competition.

Seriously. Look it up. It is shocking how consistently he is in the top 15 of every single metric, yet HF says he is not a legit #1 D because he played injured in the playoffs lol.

Are you talking about Darnell Nurse?

Both beat non playoff teams 9 times since March. I just don’t act like LA is God’s gift to hockey.

It’s unfortunate we have to deal with the McDavid followers. The fan base is exhausting to say the least.

= Game seven over-time winner in the 6th OT.

 

[Kerberos]

Are you talking about Darnell Nurse?

The same Nurse that punished, abused and ran the Kings' shit in your last 2 games against us?

 

[Nasti]

The whole league should just forfeit the cup to the Oilers. I mean clearly they can’t be stopped. They should be awarded 5 consecutive retroactive cups just for gracing us with their presence.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

He didn’t “plant” anything. He literally fell over backwards with his leg between Draisaitl’s, off the ice no less. You’ll see what you want to though.

“Cool story” indeed.

Nah. I'll see what's on the video. This is why I don't call it a slewfoot either.

It's funny, though, that you're not actually refuting anything I said (aside from perhaps your interpretation of "plant"). Yes, he did literally fall backwards (not sure why "literally" was necessary here) with his leg between Draisaitl's. His foot slid forward as they fell and came off the ice as they fell.

You are leaving out a couple of details. The yadda, yadda, yadda is what makes this not malicious, but reckless.

 

[Hank Plank]

Go Kings you're Canada's team now. And again.

 

[McJedi]

Worst possible matchup for the Oilers if Fiala plays. A heavy, fast, big and trapping team will give the oilers fits. So will the 50/50 calls you always see in the playoffs.

Kings in 6.

Weren't you the one arguing with me that a few months is enough time to change an opinion?

 

[mkatcherin00]

Looks like Andersson's left leg pushes Draisaitl's right out from under him while he he pulls him down from behind, no?

He grabs Leon from behind and physically pulls him backwards down to the ice, and his leg took Drais out.

Dipshit move., Can't just face wash him and pull him out. This idiot decided to give him that WWE backwards suplex. Also gave RNH a DDT earlier in the game

Is this the mighty Fiala who was in the dog house and playing bottom 6 for a while? Guy also has to get up to speed after missing time.

I will take the Oilers 468 point "Big 4" over Fiala and Co. lol

I find this very confusing

 

[Tobias Kahun]

And? Nurse is terrible

It seems people can’t separate nurse and his contract.

He can both be a good player and overpaid

 

[Hank Plank]

I find this very confusing

What? Why? Kings took out the Canucks that's an image to honor their service.
