Post-Game Talk: LA drowning in Oil tonight

[yukoner88]

Coming home with a stranglehold is huge, especially with how the series began

 

[Ritchie Valens]

These last 5 periods (if you include ot) have the feeling of last year. Have not fely that way all season. Hopefully the switch is flipped

Kane, buddy. Kane.

 

[Mr Positive]

I thought we would get better over time in this series but not like this.

No Ekholm either

But Walman is getting his game back and of course Klingberg is found money considering he might not have got a shot if Stecher didn't get injured

Oilers dominated that game. Game 5 always the most important game

 

[foshizzle]

What a performance. They dominated and overcame a Conn Smythe performance by Kuemper.

Pickard with a 3 game winning streak now and looking stable AF in net.

All they needed was a goalie who makes the saves he is supposed to. Pickard does just that. Tom
Gazzola is going to be so upset

 

[Dynamic]

Christ that was beautiful to watch. Just mature, composed, dominant Oilers playoff hockey. When they play like that we are a wagon.

 

[MikeS24]

Beat LA

Beat the Stripes

 

[elmeroil]

Sooooo 0-2 with Skinner and 3-0 with Pickard, weird.

 

[Oilhawks]

Absolute domination!

Score flattered the Kings.

"Whuppin'"

 

[UHHHH SON]

Great hustle! Great goaltending!

Less heart attacks tonight. On to the next.

 

[McTedi]

That’s awesome

 

[bellagiobob]

Pretty much sums it up for LA.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Funny 10 days ago we were talking about how dumb Bowman was for the Klingberg signing. And how Kane was going to be bought out this summer.

 

[Soli]

 

[MessierThanThou]

We lose this game with the other guy in net.

We would've been swept by the last game or eliminated tonight.

"Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
the band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
but there is no joy in L.A.—mighty Danault has struck out."
With apologies to Ernest Thayer

 

[yukoner88]

What will Hiller do next? LOL

Same thing they do every year

1-3-1

 

[Mez]

Kane bringing that big dick energy though.

Makes me sick people were done with him earlier this season.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Great game by the Oilers but all kinds of trouble finishing. Janmark again the unlikely hero getting the crucial back breaking goal midway into third period. This guy sure gets more done in playoffs.

Pickard unsung hero stabilizing the Edmonton net so we can go on this run and have 3 game Wins.

Pickard GAA in series 2.something. Skinner is 6.18

Pickard also with his 2nd save % heater game.

That save with 3.5mins on a sneaky screen from Kempe labeled top corner. Skinner was never going to get to that one. Great save by Pickard.

Only shot that beat Pickard all nigth was a picture perfect deflection by Kuzmenko.

Kings look out of gas in this game. They had some in third period but Oilers checking and back pressure was aces in this game

yeah don't fire the coaching staff anytime.. This was a TEXTBOOK road W. One of the tightest playoff games an Oilers team has played.

 

[Shathar]

fans of that team have got to be pissed. They have fans, right? Like, Wil Farrel. He must be pissed.

 

[harpoon]

Foegele sneaking his way to the Oilers lockerroom

Nah … he can go take another smug post game pic with his new buddies in LA. That aged well.

 

[LTIR]

Fire Knoblock the dumb dumb

 

[OfCorsiDid]

The Kings having no answer to Kane is huge too. They can't do anything to him. Too physical, enough skill.

 

[timekeep]

Best game yet. Kane played like we need him to.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Pickard was solid and the team plays with a lot of confidence with him in net.

Klingberg was excellent tonight, lots of strong defensive plays and his puck movement was very good. He looked like a legit top 4 D man.

Playoff Janitor is a beast and comes up big yet again.

If we play like this, we can beat every team in the NHL.

Klingberg has played by far his best hockey this season in the playoffs. If he keeps it up I hope that we can bring him back. Frederic's skating is looking better and Kane has been just what the Dr. ordered.
