Post-Game Talk: Hiller vs Kings Game 4

[Sol]

I have no idea what to say. This is some of the worst coaching I’ve ever seen and the worst part is how arrogant Hiller is. Could have swept the Oilers easily yet Hiller decided against it.

1. Dresses four lines, only plays three. Exhausts the players and makes them lose.

2. Sits back 3rd period 2 games in a row and easily loses the game.

3. Has seen sitting back against the oilers never works, does it anyways.


Some unbelievable sabotage that it almost feels intentional. Well i say it does.

It's loser mentality from the top down. This franchise is content on getting into the playoffs and believe that anything can happen. If they lose, oh well, it's the playoffs, what are you gonna do? They've tried nothing and they're all out of ideas.

Dude I would fire him on the spot! Make him find a commercial flight home!

 

[ru4reals]

Danault and Kuemper was ready to wear that after game hero cap then Hiller and QB said hold my stupidity. Just infuriating to watch this coach do stupid sh*t.

This should've happened after that challenge in game 3.

 

[King'sPawn]

Best of 3 series now.

Not much else to say. The Oilers have like 3 goals this series without McDavid and/or Draisaitl factoring into the scoring, and they still haven't figured out how to contain them unless they can line match.

It's time for the heavy locker room trash can to make an appearance

Yea I was thinking that the players need to take matters into their own hands. The thing is when Maclellan gets interviewed about it he makes it seem like the directions were coming from management. Is Hiller running Blakes plan or is this his own doing? If they collapse and blow this it will go down in history as one of the worst coaching performances in a playoff series in any sport and Kings fans will surely never forget it.

The irony is that the Kings are really right there, much more so than at any time last season.

He said the thing.

It started halfway through the second period.

Darryl built trust in 4th line, Hiller seems to do the opposite.

That brings up the question, if Hiller is not playing 5 players because he doesn't trust them, how was this not addressed at the deadline? Is Hiller not communicating with BLuc?

 

[BigBrown]

The difference between this year and last is this year is winnable. I'm having a hard time counting them out since they so clearly CAN be the better team but it's just baffling what's going on. Hiller acting arrogant isn't helping my temper either.

 

[Mr grumpy]

If the kings lose the series? The challenge on the Kane goal will be what gets talked about most

Despite the coaching staff purposefully placing obstacles in their way

Hiller has a fragile little ego, second presser in a row where he loses his composure. Teams pathetic performance mimics their coach.

Turns out people don't in fact know how to act when they aren't surrounded by gladhanding yes men.

We as fans, and most of the players deserve way better than this.
But this front office deserves exactly what it's getting right now.

His interview where he challenged the reporter was interesting to say the least

 

[GKJ]

So they had the lead for the entire game and they had 4 players combine for 12 minutes for a game that went nearly 80 minutes? Clarke is short of 12 minutes as well.

Joel Edmundson leads in ice time?

Just can’t construct a roster like this unless you have guys who can go into god-mode like the Oilers have.

The ‘reporter’ as in Dennis Bernstein, who everyone here claims doesn’t ask the HARD QUESTIONS?

Should we at all be taking into consideration that McD and Drai played 30-min last night?

Well they’re god-mode players. If you got the nuclear weapons, that’s a check you can cash.

You still see they’re not that good though.
