GDT: Schlop Schlop Schlop - Oilers at Kongs 8:30PM

[3IR]

Not down though

Being up 2 pps to 1 against a cali team without a lead kinda feels like being down though

 

[KCC]

edm needs to adjust On the pp. Kings are overloading the side wall. There are players open.

 

[Ibanez]

PP is junk

Team is meh this period. Losing most of the puck battles. Feeling our way into the game.

Ok wakey wakey. Let’s speed it up in the second!!!

 

[5 14 6 1]

Holy f*** the 1-3-1 should be outlawed

 

[McSomnii]

3 shots vs 2 shots.

Looks like I missed a barn-burner of a first period.

 

[tardigrade81]

Bad period. Glad we aren’t losing

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Game will open up.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Man.. Tmac look competent away for Edmonton...

 

[McDrai]

What a boring ass period. I haven’t been this bored since the early to mid 2000’s vs Minnesota. Off to bed

 

[K1984]

The Kings are so, so comfortable sitting in their structure watching us straight up refuse to shoot the puck.

The only way we are going to get them out of their structure is to start shooting the god damn puck. Absolutely fooling ourselves if we think we can wait around for a look. It just isn’t going to happen unless we get them out of their fundamentalist trap.

 

[iCanada]

Not a good period.

Got outworked at evens and on the PP.

Eh, tbh, pretty decent road period.

We shamed them last game, they were going to come out flying with their best period. And we gave them literally nothing.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

If we can’t figure out LAs PK we aren’t beating them in the playoffs. Full stop. Figure it out.

Easy. Just take neck high point shots. Eventually a few will get hit and get the point then we’ll be able to move the puck better.

Woody doesn't adjust well.

Luckily he's coaching against the king of not adapting, McLellan

 

[Kerberos]

I'd rather jab icepicks into my eyes than watch this game.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Iaswallowed trying to be relevant

I Durzied myself from this comment.

 

[Mr Positive]

Woody doesn't adjust well.

we can judge that a bit better based on how the team comes out next period. There are games where one period becomes way different than the next and I always figure its because the coach adjusted things.

 

[Ibanez]

Game will open up.

On the plus side. If it doesn’t. I have material to ensure I get a good sleep and an early bed time tonight!

 

[CupofOil]

 

[Oilers in NS]

You'd think we were losing based on some of these comments.

We were a happy bunch the last 2 games
7 straight periods of SO hockey is a positive.
80 shots between 2 teams last game. 5 that period

 

[snipes]

Pretty boring period

 

[DrDrai]

Not a good period.

Got outworked at evens and on the PP.

If that’s the best the kings have then I’ll take it, they were lacklustre too. Spending all their energy to close the gaps quick etc.

You can’t play that style all game or for a series.

 

[Satire]

The might be the most boring period of hockey I've ever seen... you have to think this favours LA... but good lord is it boring.

 

[Macheteops]

What a boring game. I'd rather play the NHL all-stars in Rd1 and get destroyed then this boring as team

 

[NeverForget06]

Would you rather that period or one where we play no defence and have no goaltending and it's a tie 3-3? No stupid mistakes there, just need to win some more battles, and probably kill a couple penalties in the second before our PP gets another chance

 

[Moregoalspls]

Sure looks like the king's have been doing a lot of studying on oilers pp. Taking away the side wall back pass, applying pressure at the right time
