Post-Game Talk: LA drowning in Oil tonight

[Jimmi McJenkins]

"Took years off my life" me too Calvin lol

 

[ManofSteel55]

Kane bringing that big dick energy though.

I hope we never see a "Kane to..." discussion started by an Oiler fan again. Not once.

 

[ahmedou]

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

 

[1981 Oilers]

totally unrelated but I would love to see Ottawa come back and take out Toronto

 

[Austerlitz]

Body language alone, Pickard is miles ahead of Skinner. He just seems like he's always in the fight and always giving it his all for the team. Pickard seems like the kind of goalie who'd catch a puck barehanded if that's what it took.

I think Kaner really put a hurting on Kempe. He isn’t skating like he usually does and his cocky arrogant look has been replaced by extreme concern. As for young Clarke, I just hope Kane keeps it legal next game but Clarke is going to be fubar.

I mentioned it during the game, I think Kane and Clarke will meet "next season" and Clarke will have a "bad time" answering for what he did lol.

You also might be right about Kempe, but I think they're running out of gas too, plus it seems like Kempe played the 2nd half of the game on defense.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

That play in the third where Pickard came out and cleared that puck away from the king player breaking in. That was gold. Stu would still be considering his options.

 

[Zerotonine]

Have to admit, I was clenching a little bit esp when LA took the lead. The way we were dominating and could beat fking kuemper was criminal and we all know how those games usually end .....

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I know we saw it and Kane gets a good bounce, but gawddamn this zone keep and pass by Klingberg is awesome.

 

[Zerotonine]

Really hoped to play the Wild if we advance… Atleast they won’t injure our players and we can expect somewhat of a fair whistle.

Ill get much more pleasure out of spanking Vegas. We owe those f***s....

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Let’s us off the mat is a back handed compliment. The oil dominated the last near 2 games and should have won gm 1. Gives the oil no credit f*** Friedman

His ego has grown so big. Give me more of Bieksa, mini me and other real hockey minds. Elliott is just a gossip queen.

Very impressive effort. After the Oil got down 0-2, game five (assuming they got there) was always going to be the key game. They HAD to win at least one game in L.A,, and this was it.

You can kind of tell from this game that the game four loss was in the LA players' heads and they hadn't recovered. I was laughing my ass off at that loooong two-on-one (in the first?) with Kuzmenko (who, to be fair, scored later) when he stopped up and tried the behind-the-back pass... to nobody. Just completely whiffed on a Grade-A scoring chance. That's when I knew the Oil were in their heads.

But Edmonton completely dominated and the score flatters L.A.

I thought Wallman and Nurse and Bouchard were all very good. It was certainly the best defensive effort since Ekholm went down.

Kane didn't take any penalties (a bonus!) and he even made two very noticeable huge defensive efforts. And he scored! Credit to him.

Janmark got it done in a really big moment. Brutal rebound by Kuemper on that one!

In this series so far, the Oilers are collectively +29 and the Kings are collectively -29. Edmonton has owned LA at evens. It's just the Kings' PP and the Oilers' brutal PK that has even made this a series.

Not sure if the guys can keep up this level of intensity to close it out in game six, but I sure hope so. Please no game 7 in L.A.

Good summary.

Kane has been beyond impressive and Klingberg a nice surprise too.

Oh, and Jim Hillier is an absolute clown for a coach. I can’t understand what he’s trying to accomplish with his “approach”.

 

[tardigrade81]

Thursday

JUst win this Thursday! No need for a game 7. My heart is fat and old. Doesn't like this intense stuff too much anymore

You don't see the genius of putting your best forward on D in what is basically an elimination playoff game?

 

[Zerotonine]

Has any one see ekholm? Like is he even at the rink on game days?

I think he's rehabbing I back in Edmonton

 

[McBeastMode]

that challenge in game 3 is looking dumber every day.

EVANDER KANE: FIRST GOAL SINCE MAY 18TH 2024

He scored in game 4, get with it.

 

[frag2]

They let us…. That’s the problem. The oil played their way back period . It’s a back handed compliment imo

Agreed. Fridge is a bitch when it comes to Oilers. Must be because of all the abuse he gets from Stauffer wrt TML

 

[frag2]

Pickard roasting him on the "same question" is great, spec is such a tool

He’s such a bitch. His entire twitter feed is lively when Oilers are shit. Very few posts when Oilers are playing well

 

[ahmedou]

Suck it harmonicas! Suck it Will Farrell!

Saw some tweet or post that said how could you spend a time out and, despite the 30s, still come out thinking you’re gonna win that challenge. Only way they could think that is they believed the league is so corrupt they’ll get the SoCal bias and the call going their way

NHL Game Management™ on full display.

Dominant performance, and Drai extends his playoff point streak vs LA with the 2A on the EN

I wonder what or why the GM’s and league leadership or lack there of doesn’t protest loudly as there were significant missed calls, two dangerous non calls Hymans knee/leg was slew footed and cross check to Kane, obvious tafgetung on McDavid (many good hockey plays) but to cross check him when hes on the ice? clear covering of the puck with hands. Many other games with similar issues. Game management is and has gone way too far and devaluation from fan experience penalties should be penalties its too clear and obvious non-calls
