Post-Game Talk: Monarchy Abolished (x3)

[syz]

So did we just do to the LA Kings what the Stars did to us in the 90s/00s?

Still 1 loss short.

I saw this. Was laughing hard. He was clearly excited and not thinking properly. But yeah soooooo funny

He saw what eventually happened to Woody after he went on the ice last year and did ‘the move’. He said screw that, I don’t need any bad karma.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

can’t get the obvious past Doughty!

Over 3 series against the Kings, how we've come so far from the days of "Mikey Anderson will shutdown McDavid"

Kings fans will eventually get to blaming Arviddson goal for getting them 3rd place and the Oilers with goalie pulled in last game of season. Oh wait, they already did that.

Collective reaction over there was "f*** not the Oilers again" Now its "f*** this kings team, I'm going to cheer for baseball" lol never go baseball.

 

[Messrules11]

Haha I made that gif...took video of my tv lol! That guy's was so funny

 

[Spawn]

Say what you want about Doughty he is flat out honest. He was also the one appreciating the crowd noise in Edmonton pregame and getting a kick out of it. The guy loves hockey. Loves being all around it. Hate the guy for being an opponent but I remember liking him plenty on Team Canadas back when that was even a thing.

He's one of the best d-men of his generation. First ballot hall of famer. A huge pain in the ass to play against, but at his best (and even past his prime) he was a hell of a player.

The kings board was like this even as early as 2015-16. it took about one season of them not winning cup to completely turn. They were always losing series before they started in their minds.

What have you done for me lately bunch. Apologies to the few fans there with semi reasonable views. Like the one fan that just said. "hey, we're just losing to a better team".

But in LA if theres no Academy Awards you're a flat out bum. These being fans of a team that has made the playoffs 3yrs in a row during what is usually a rebuild stage.

Hope PLD enjoys his super shiny big city where they barely give a shit about hockey. Atleast he’ll escape the pressure of expectations. But i don’t think he’s gonna have a fun time around town, seeing as the fanbase hates him.

Thought Doughty was much improved this year. He got torched last season but he actually made quite a few plays this time around. Was also giving it to his team a lot trying to get them going, though he wasn't able to.

 

[rboomercat90]

Dubois just tried to slewfoot three guys in the handshake line. It’s his only move.

And he half-assed that too.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

This was such a huge game.

Rest is "Weaponized" as McDavid said Post-Game.

This win significantly improved their odds of making the cup final.

Bumbois lmaoooo. Blake gutted his depth players for an overrated, overpaid, toxic, and a cardio king bum

I never heard that about Mikey, but I heard it about Danault and Kopitar. Think people finally gave up on that one this year though.

He's a hockey players, hockey player.

They sure do. At least the online contingent. Not sure why there isn't more concern over Fiala who was awful and botching all the play. Remembering Fiala is first unit PP, gets all the primo minutes and a lot of topsix toi.

For all the PLD hate he was EV in the series and often playing with bottomsix players. He isn't getting the Villardi type treatment in Winnipeg topline, top PP, despite being a better player, but he will when Kopitar fades out. Its a longterm. Not gonna judge it in year one. Kings fans shouldn't either but they like carving up their players.

In this game and series when they were paired PLD fed Fiala in the slot 5X. No goals. The favor wasn't returned once. Fialas brain everytime he has puck is to either make 3 more moves or shoot puck himself. Nobody else exists..

Sign better clients.

Oilers have series where they get less than favourable calls, and series where they get favourable calls. I thought a couple of the calls this series were soft, but LA also got a ton of bounces. That being said, you create your own luck. Oilers won 4-1, and I didn't think they played their best hockey either. Reffing had very little to do with the outcome of the series- Oilers going 50% on the PP and 100% on the PK was the difference.

One is Leon lmao.

Who is playing his way to a great cut for his agent too hahaha.

Ah wait, Leon's is Andy Scott (just works for the same group, Octagon. Nevermind!)

Turns out it was a phenomenal day for the Edmonton Oilers lol.

He's a gamer, you can tell he loves competing, the big moments, hates losing. Hall of fame career, that he's still this good 16 years into his career is beyond impressive.

 

[McAsuno]

Seeing many of their fans whining about the officials on twitter is comical.
Blame your special teams you morons.

I wish the McD and company ever got a chance to play with him in an Olympics or Canada Cup or something. Been sad to have had that. Could imagine prime mcd and prime Doughty on same team.

 

[Porkleaker]

He has better things to do.

 

[sportsdynasty]

Was at the game. Leon Draisaitl is the best player in the league! Give him the Conn Smythe!

Is Allan Walsh the agent that can never keep his mouth shut?

Not a very astute fanbase over there. Some of them have been there for awhile and you think would understand hockey by now. I mean maybe it should occur to them that it wouldn't matter how many PP's they get. The only solution for them is for the refs to lose their whistles which pretty much happened for the Kings in game 4.

At least the players get it.
