Post-Game Talk: Monarchy Abolished (x3)

[Dieseloil]

Kings in 4 next year.

Over the Canucks

 

[CycloneSweep]

This is how it looked. Leon was just incredible.

This seemed to jive with what I saw too. Bouchard and Leon had great games. Foegele, Henrique and McLeod struggled.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

What a great game defensively from the Oilers. The Kings really only had one great chance (which unfortunately ended up in the back of the net, would have nice to have gotten a save there). Otherwise it was all shots from the outside with basically no second chances. The 3rd GA was a great tip. Skinner basically didn’t face another difficult shot outside of those two shots all game.

Skinner was good enough. No really big saves but made the needed ones and didn’t let in a weak one. Couple of mad scrambles in front of our net that he held strong in.

That being said that might have been the best defence I have ever seen the Oilers play.

 

[FlameChampion]

Bouchard tho...

Bouchard kind of a fascinating player. During regular season, theres so many games where you wish he played with more intensity.

Hes the type of player you would think would crumble in the playoffs. But he’s raised his game in the playoffs. It doesn’t hurt that he’s playing on a all time power play. But you have to give him credit. Hes beasting out there. Sometimes you can’t really judge a book by its cover.

Shout out to the PK.

Nuge at 2nd most icetime is kinda crazy.

He's kind of the go to center now that Knobs took Connor/Leon off PK.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Connor Brown had one less point than PLD in this series.

Brown has the same number of playoff goals as 75% of the Kings lineup. Other than Kempe and Doughty kings only got 7G in 5 GP from the rest of their lineup. Basically everybody but Kempe was on a cooler as I stated before series.

Its kind of funny that Arviddsson was so livid post game, he really wanted this, and he scored the last goal of the season in last game with net pulled to get the Kings this matchup. I'm not sure the rest of the clubs heart was really into getting wrecked by the Oilers again.

 

[CupofOil]

He made the statement even before series started or after game 1. In and around there. He's not saying it after the fact, he already knew. Very respectful of our club jsut like Sutter was. They know a good thing when they see it. he talked at length about how much the Oilers have matured as a group and now look ready.

Always appreciated Doughty and Sutter being candid about us and also that the Flames are shit. Sutters view on his own flames while he was coaching them was some of the funniest shit ever emanating from Calgary since harvey the hound lost his tongue.

Reporter. "Coach Sutter, what do you think about comparisons of this Flames team to your LA Kings teams"

Sutter: "There is no comparison, none, Thats a ridiculous question. Next question"



lol

For sure, agreed with all that.

This is my favorite Sutter quote though directed at Gaudreau and his 500th game

"Hopefully he has more energy than his 499th". I will always love that man for that quote alone.

He has too many quotes. Wish he'd do a book, but I don't know that he's the type of guy to do something like that.

You'd essentially need someone else to just sit with him while he's feeding cows and talk about his career with him to get all the information out of him and be able to piece it together.

 

[PULSATING]

Anyone else notice how much calmer the boys are this year? Way less tempers flaring in the scrums, way less panic when LA was pushing, was less dumb dumb penalties. Wonder what combination of coaching, vets, and experience has been the key here. Hope this continues, team feels different this year.

 

[CornKicker]

I’ve seen this a few times saying Drai fist bumped. Am I old or is a fist bump this:

Fist Pump:

no you are right i mistyped

I was just looking, because I was curious watching his usage. Fiala had 29 goals and 73 pts this year, that's wild, he looked like a 3rd line agitator the entire series lol.

the only person he was agitating was himself, and kings fans too i guess. he wasnt under the oilers skin lol

Just noticed Brad Harrison grabbing Knoblauch by the tie to get him to the handshake line

I grew up with the farm life so I can understand him

He's always stepped it up during the playoffs. 35 points in 33 career playoff games so far. Maybe he save his best for the playoffs like Drai lol

Does anyone really get to the Oiler players anymore? Been awhile since I remember someone that has driven the guys nuts and even if it is one game doesn't seem to ever really impact them the next.

Agitate the fans yes, but players not as much it seems.

Sutter is hilarious. He kept it real. He got shit for it but it all ended up being true.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

when would the second round start? Like in 7 days?

When Ryan broke his stick in the last minute I was expecting the worst, but we played calm, cool, no scramble hockey. Was very refreshing.

LOL the opposite of Woodcroft who was standing at the Calgary bench tapping his feet

While I haven't seen any I expect like the Woodcroft one, Knobs will result in some very nice memes

 

[Stoneman89]

I noticed on the game coverage right after the game ended that Knoblauch was heading down the tunnel.
Then he was 'redirected'...lol

That was funny. Knob was so focused on the game, he forgot the protocol, and had a brain cramp.

Almost the opposite of Danny Maciocia during that Grey Cup where he prematurely started dancing around on the sideline when there was still time on the clock in a one score game.

 

[Little Fury]

Someone put a shock collar on Nurse and zap him whenever he jumps up to pinch at the red line. 2 GA in this series (including the OT winner) just because of that.
