LA is suffocating us, and it feels like these types of games more often than not do not go our way. It’ll be a test to see if we really are a better team defensively than we have been for the first half of the season.
That was the hockey equivalent of a warm glass of milk at 9 PM on a Tuesday night.
We got asked when the fights were scheduled for. Just lots of people sort of checking th game out for the first time.
Was still fun. Got to meet Rod Philips and Semenko was doing colour. There was no press box they were just in an upper section calling the game. Afterwards we met a few of the Oilers outside the rink, which was in a really sketchy area of town at the time.

Koala has a fever. And the only cure. Is more players stacked on the blue line

Definitely some poor puck management that period, but the Kings are just not very threatening.

Wish we didn't play reactionary hockey and played how we wanted not how they want

We tried that the first two games we played them and got absolutely owned trying to skate through the wall at the blue line.

It’s in Anaheim which is southeast of LA. Pretty safe I stayed in LA and took a train there somehow. Tickets were 50 bucks US lower bowl. Back when the ducks were good like 2010 or so.

and again...
I have the cure for this.. need more bombs from the point to either get junk rebounds/deflections/tips around the net... or hurt some LA players with those bombs.
I'd have 2 dmen on the PP and blast shots from the points as much as possible.

That's not how you beat the Kings. The key is patience believe it or not, the Kings are just waiting for the Oilers to make a mistake so don't give it to them. They need to win more puck battles, just not enough "want" in that period.

I’m gonna do a Westcoast swing. I was in San Diego of March 2019 and Covid just hit. Didn’t know if they were gonna let us back in Canada. I’m gonna plan a trip to West coast and follow Oilers on road trip. Would like to see LA, Anaheim, San Jose, and North to Seattle . I’ve been to Seattle numerous times in 90’s but it would be cool driving there from LA
Yeah LA just plays exactly the type of game that we haven’t had an answer for for as long as I’ve watched hockey. Every team that plays this way seems to have our number. I remember when it was the wild, Phoenix/Arizona, Calgary for a few years, etc.
We overcome it a bit more nowadays that we have Mcdavid and Drai, but for as long as I’ve been a fan, these teams that clog up the neutral zone and just focus on capitalizing on the oilers screw ups have given us issues.
