Says a fan of the team with the untouchable superstar. You breath on him, you sit two in the box.

SPEEN!
Then why did the Oilers only get a few power plays? Were the Kings not breathing?

SPEEN!
If the Edmonton Oilers were to go on a run, would this put pressure on the Calgary Flames to get into the playoffs and do good?
What kind of lunatic doesn't use dark mode on this site?

There's clearly contact there for sure, but after that he gets that blade down on the ice AND gets his next stride on the ice with control before electing to tuck his knees for a splashless entry.
Meanwhile, Bjugstad (and other Oilers) were back and in position to beat him to the puck, so it was an entirely needless penalty. It was a penalty, but it was also a dive.

I don't think we've ever agreed... feels.... icky.
Edit: and I might just add, sure it's a penalty, but given the standard they'd set throughout the game and the fact he wasn't getting to that puck anyway, it seems strange to have called THAT at THAT point in the game. If you are going to game manage and "let them play", then it better be a clear call on a clear chance... that play and that puck wasn't going anywhere other than rimmed around the boards by Bjugstad and out the other side. Desharnais and the ref both lost the plot.

Safe to say at least 33 pages of it could probably be removed for trolling/flaming.

Hah, it’s a fair assessment. It was a trip but it was also quite the stumble before he actually fell. It’s a fair assessment that he sold it a bit

Its A Kingspiracy !
So you missed him shadowing Mcdavid or the shot he took that got through on the tying goal that Kopitar tapped in? The last ones pretty hard to miss.
The hate towards the prequels is why there's 7,8,9 and Han Solo, failures etc

By the fancies Danault got speedbagged. The end-game results were in the Kings favour this time, but if the high danger chances are 6-1 Oilers every game with Danault on the ice the rest of the series, I don't think it'll be in a series the Kings win.
McDavid had 5 shots on goal and high danger chances were 8-3 in his favour. Korpisalo was very good. I think it's being slept on a bit in this thread how good he was.

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good
Vilardi is ready for tomorrow and Fiala is in LA
Do you really think many of these guys stay in Edmonton during the the offseason?

Woohoo, great news for the Kings. Im guessing Iaffalo moves back to the 4th line. That's how deep the Kings are. 36pt Iafilo on the 4th line.
Has this thread just been 49 pages of arguing about reffing? Lmao

Kaliyev will go back on the 4th line. He’s been there all season long. AI will stay on the third.

I mean, it will be the crux of the series. It will be decided with special teams. Edmonton is a team practically built around their powerplay. They have to generate them in order to survive. They will always perpetually never have enough powerplays.
Sorry 2 for 12 my bad.
Two of those games without Anderson (McDavided), Vilardi, and Fiala.
LA is such a different team with Fiala. It’s not an excuse but it would be like the Oilers without McDavid honestly impact wise.
All the talk about those last two games mean Jack shit.
Maybe Fiala will be back by Christmas but it’s a big break for the Oilers.
