Post-Game Talk: LA drowning in Oil tonight

I will admit- I was one of them. I just didn’t think a 34 year old with the game he plays and the injury he had would have an impact. Dude is just built differently. I was wrong and will happily admit it

I love Kane and what he brings as the alpha in the lineup that changes a lot of dynamics. Seems like with Perry his skill, doesn't matter if he hasn't ridden a bike for years he always remembers how. Not just his game but positioning, 200ft play, he's not been a liability anywhere and he's just making life hell for Kings defenders. Then he nails people like Kempe, like really got him.

The harmonicas didn't work tonight.

Maybe the spirit of Kate Smith is out there, somewhere, if there is a game 7.

Can you guys at least make a warning when you quote a post from a different board?

I made one click and almost made a mistake that would've give me many warning points.

I made my post on the Kings board and replying to the other poster i ended up here.not sure how that happened

 

[NeverForget06]

Guys, you're still gonna sit there and tell me McDrai weren't off tonight?

Or at least, wasn't as good as everyone else was.

They set up Perry like 4 times just couldn't bury one. They could have had a couple points each Kuemper was a wall

Idk what Brandt Clarke was thinking trying to cheap shot him like that in the 3rd. Dude he's going to fold you in half in game 6.

Waiting to hear from all the posters who wanted to trade Kane all year, said he was done and wouldn’t bring anything in the playoffs. Such a key glue guy on this team, incredible how he’s playing after missing an entire year.

I was one. I admitted I was wrong. Dude is literally defying what happens with 34 year players with heavy miles on their bodies and a major injury. I’m more than happy to be wrong

 

[McAsuno]

Eat shit biz

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Love his answer and his effort.

This is funny, and in realtime in game one I was thinking this sure ain't any Kate Smith thing...

Man, even at 1-1 they had to exort the Kings crowd to make some noise. of course their club wasn't giving them much reason to in this game. The Oilers play took the Kings crowd, and the Kings, right out of the game.

I dunno what the advanced stats say but, to my eye, Walman was a total stud tonight.

78.79% FF%, 84.25% xGF%, 12-3 High Danger Chance differential . Pretty much everyone had a dominant possession statline except poor Corey Perry lol.

 

[MoontoScott]

Isn't this the whole story? This is whats been stated here for years. Nice to hear the players actually saying it so much this season.

When McD went up to Pickard at end of game 2 waiting for him on bench I knew that was the message and that the team would lobby for pickard, which I'm sure they did.

Eventually, even incompetence has to wake up to popular opinion.

I think Clarke gets an ass kicking next season

@29Beast97Mode threw a bit of a knuckleball and quoted it here. I'm just glad I noticed it took me to the Kings board because I was about to make fun of that guy real bad.

Everyone likes to bash janny during the regular season.

 

[tiger_80]

LA goalie is a not a happy kuemper today.

Kuemper and Kempe to the summer camp!

 

[Connor McConnor]

Ngl after G2 I was pretty distraught. It seemed like the same team we saw for much of the 2nd half of the season. But the last game and 2 periods is the way the boys were playing for most of last year and playoffs. THIS team can win the Cup.

 

[foshizzle]

Kuemper prevented this from being a 6-1 or 7-1 game. 46-22 shots. 28-6 high danger chances, 6.35-1.53 expected goals. And all of this with McDrai having a below average game by their standards. What an absolute thrashing.

Finish them off on Thursday.

He looked absolutely exhausted too. He was breathing pretty heavy in the 3rd. The barrage from the last game to this game has to have an impact

 

[bellagiobob]

Impressive number of Janny jerseys on the road.

Might not be mensa candidate.

Sorry, I quoted your post here cause I kind of feel bad for kings fans cause I'd feel bad if the oilers were blowing it like that too.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

What a freaking game! Great effort by the Oilers!

This is the way

 

[harpoon]

and doesn’t kill Clarke for that ridiculous cross check.

Not so fast. There’s still at least one game left. If I was Mr. Clarke I’d be a little weak-kneed about taking to the ice on Thursday.

 

[tiger_80]

One more game. The only playoff series the Kings will ever know.

 

[soothsayer]

If they can keep playing like that, they can hold out until Ekholm gets back.
