Hopefully the late goal will open things up in the 3rd a bit.

I was so looking forward to this Oilers/Kings game... Then the game started and the memories came flooding back. I think I have some paint drying somewhere that I need to tend to. I sure hope we don't have to play them again in the playoffs. Must be tough being a Kings fan. If I had to watch that day in and day out, there is no way I would be watching.

Every Oilers coach : "Hey, I know what to do, I'll play McDavid and Draisaitl TOGETHER! At the same time."

It's a weapon no team in the League can match. Why wouldn't you use it when needed.

 

[Dust]

I will say it is nice to see both teams rocking the LA Fire Dept decals/stickers. Something bigger than the game everyone can get behind.

 

[Czechboy]

Great save from Kuemper.. he really has a Mike Smith street hockey goalie vibe for me!

 

[Coffey]

Game has really picked up the pace. Hope some people here aren’t too bored.

Thank god the Oilers scored first. Kings were as tight as a nun and now they’ve opened up like… Well you can decide your own analogy.

 

[Dust]

This one feels like it has the makings of an OT game. LA will get a late PP and tie it up.

 

[Bounces R Way]

You know who the Kings could use? A guy like Andrei Kuzmenko. Instant offense, powerplay specialist, Zigmund Palffy if he was Russian. Goals? He scored 39 his rookie year. If I were Rob Blake I wouldn't even look at the stats for this season and just buy now.

Pospisil has a history of being an idiot, he's not getting any benefit of the doubt from the stripes.

Probably a 2min. But I am fine with the 5min. He needs to stop with those idiotic and dangerous hits.

So he just never gets to hit a guy again? Seems a little unfair. He's put up some questionable ones for sure but I don't want him changing a thing. If he doesn't play with that edge he's probably not that useful on a NHL roster.

I watched Olivier run a Flames defenseman way more in the numbers than that was all the way from the blueline earlier this year and he only got a minor.

 

[Dust]

The officials in this Kings Oilers game sure have gotten in the way of the puck an awful lot it feels like. When both teams are upset at the linesman you know it's bad.

The Kings about to be *redacted* by Stu Skinner

How embarrassing. Why even play their inevitable series in 3 months

 

[Coffey]

McDavid could really learn something about ENG from Mack and Kuch.

Shut out AND let Nurse get a point

 

[RedRocking]

It is nice to see Kuemper get his game together. Not sure why he fell apart last year.

 

[Coffey]

God Oilers suck at empty nets lmao

 

[syz]

Draisaitl doesn't want to taint his stats with empty netters.

(That was very stupid)

 

[Dust]

It's almost comical now at how inept the Oilers are when the net is empty.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kevin Fiala has the IQ of a toaster. Surprised he ties his own skates even.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I would rather watch paint dry than an EDM-LA game.

Kings still trapping it up while losing LMAO. And Foegele on for an EN? sheesh.

Kings have like zero offensive creativity, or it's just games against EDM. I don't know. They just play that turd style, sitting back hockey.

Like a bunch of games this year, Oil getting the chances, but can't bury them

They need to call Mack and Rantannen and ask them how to ever bury an EN goal lol. They can never put it away with an empty netter.

 

[Coffey]

Anyway. GG Kings. Fun game.

 

[Czechboy]

Shutout for Stu is nice.

We are awful at Empty Net Goals.lol

Some breating room on LA... Vegas you are next.lol

It's almost good because if McDrai score some empty netters you just know a thread will open up about them being Empty Net Merchants.lol

He doesn't, that's what the trainers are for

 

[RedRocking]

God Oilers suck at empty nets lmao

I’ve found an Ovechkin works nicely. Do you all have one of those?
