GDT: Game #81: Kings @ Oilers - 8 PM - Amazon Prime

[Bryanbryoil]

Don’t think Byfield has returned. LA is gonna milk this all week.

Unless he's missing games in the playoffs that's exactly what I think it is. If he does then my bad and apologies.

 

[harpoon]

These are the sort of games where Nuge really shines. Expect a big first round series from him.

Don’t think Byfield has returned. LA is gonna milk this all week.

After all the dirty garbage the Kings have pulled the last three years, I simply don’t give a damn about Byfield or anyone in black and silver tonight. Whale away.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

From...?
Since when are the Edmonton Oilers noted for running goalies?

Honestly I don't think it's a bad move for LA. Especially with Kuemper's injury history.

 

[bellagiobob]

Nice one Jim.

I don’t either. But Gary does, and he’ll make us pay.

Are my eyes deceiving me or was Ekholm out there on the ice with Kane laughing it up in equipment during practice? Doesn't seem like a guy out for the playoffs would be doing that.

They are. Ekholm is out for the first round minimum.

It was probably an older clip.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Nurse play has happened a thousand times. Didn't necessarily like the shot after take down... but whatever. I'm ok with the current call. But nothing more

It won't look well in review. Several angles showing that Nurse locks Byfields head in headlock in first take down, looked like an attempted head slam, then for good measure whacks his head into the ice after whistle. The whole sequence, don't look good, its on Nurse, and he has priors. I can see two games for this.

This is just Darnell Nurse being dumb. Club is full of injuries, were short D, and he does this in a meaningless game. He lost his cool.

 

[bellagiobob]

The milking has begun.

 

[CupofOil]

Actually they aren't, he was out there on the ice with full equipment on. I know he's out for the 1st round, I'm talking about long term.

Ah, maybe. Thanks for dashing my hopes haha

Ekholm is out for just the first round. That's all that's confirmed anyway

 

[CycloneSweep]

Then it was an older video. The talk is he could be out for the entire playoffs or even into next year.

How does Nurse lock his head in a headlock when he has both hands on his stick.

 

[Oilhawks]

Maybe he died

Drama queen Kings fans think so

I'm sure you having something to back that up.

But we all know you dont.

He'll be back as soon as the suspension is announced.

I can't blame him. He played very well. Frustrating night and a lot of things happen in a scrum when your a defenceman. I hold him accountable for the x check after though. I really would be surprised if suspended but... who knows

 

[Tarus]

Kapanen manufactures a 2v1 out of nothing

He must have gotten bored

 

[CycloneSweep]

4 goals we have scored in 4 games against LA. Guys need to be better than that.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Janmark gives zero f***s and does it with a stupid grin. I enjoy that.

 

[chaser17]

Can Ekholm go onto LTIR to get Kane a warmup game?

 

[bellagiobob]

He'll be back as soon as the suspension is announced.

Winner winner chicken dinner.
